For the emergency brake pads/parking brake pads the backing plates came off a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. When I replace the emergency brake/parking brake are the pads for the XJ or the ZJ? Part number for Advanced Auto/Autozone would be preferd also, is there a kit for the emergency brake/parking brake to replace the springs or does that come with the pads?

The whole thing comes from a ZJ. Backing plate, e-brake pads, springs, cables, calipers, etc. Sorry I don't have the part #'s, but everything should come off of a ZJ.

The E-brake assembly is attached to the backing plate. The rotor acts like the drum. Usually all the springs and little parts come as a package. Then you have to buy the e-brake pads.

I did this swap but havnt hooked up the E-brake cables yet. I am going to try and see how the GC ones work but I think the passanger side is going to be to short. I will probably take my old E-brae cables (short one) and use a couple cable clamps and clamp it to the ZJ ebrake cable. I gotta figure something out, inspection time is up.

OK thanks. I have a new parking brake cables from Crown Automotive so that is set, all I have left to do is buy the Ebrake pads and springs and that's it. So Ebrake pads GC, ok to Advanced Auto to get the last of my parts when I get paid.

Thanks

Are the E-brake cables going to be long enough? Or are they OEM for Grand Cherokees? Is that the only part number for them in the picture?

Thanks, not trying to hijack but I need this too.

Just take the factory XJ cable, wrap it around the parking brake lever and clamp it on itself making a loop. No need to buy brand new parts for this.

XJJeff

Yes that is is the part number they are actually for a 2003 Jeep Liberty and the cables are 3 inches longer then stock. What MWildman said I looked online and alot, of people said the stock XJ parking brake won't bolt up to the ZJ I already bought the new parts so it is to late if it can.
