    I only have one brake that is currently operational. What do I need in order to replace all 4 brakes (front and back)--what kind of brakes, sizes, etc?

    Thanks for all of the help. I am so happy that someone created this site.

    Assuming they're stock they're 10" drums.

    Check the sticky thread at the top of this forum for where to buy parts. Any of the usual suppliers for our Jeeps should have what you need.

    best way to id the drums is take on off and measure the diameter of the brake surface (ie: 9,10 or 11")

    so, If I am going to replace all of the brakes, what parts do I need to order? Just 10" drum brakes, or do I need cylinders, shoes, etc?

    All the above.

    More likely that you might just have the drums turned and replace all the other hardware.
