The inlet fitting is a plug type with an M10-1.0 thread size, and the caliper includes a bleeder screw (M8-1.25 thread) for proper brake fluid bleeding during installation. Dust boots are included to protect the piston seals from contaminants. While brake pads are not included, the package contains all necessary installation hardware such as the banjo bolt and copper crush washers.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the BBB Industries 97-02708B caliper, ensure the brake system is properly bled using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain hydraulic pressure.
