Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper is constructed from durable cast iron and finished with a rust preventative coating to resist corrosion. It features a single steel piston with a diameter of 66 mm (3 inches), designed to provide consistent braking force. The caliper includes a bleeder screw with a 3/8-24 thread size for easy brake fluid bleeding and dust boots to protect internal components from contaminants. The inlet fitting uses a banjo bolt with a 7/16-20 thread size, ensuring compatibility with the brake line fittings on Jeep CJ5, CJ7, and Scrambler vehicles.

  • Addressing brake fluid leaks due to damaged or corroded caliper components
  • Resolving uneven brake pad wear caused by caliper piston issues
  • Improving brake pedal feel and stopping power with a properly functioning caliper
  • Upgrading to a remanufactured caliper with included hardware for easier installation

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the BBB Industries 97-17003A caliper, ensure the brake system is properly bled using the included bleeder screw to remove air from the lines. The package includes brake pad installation hardware, banjo bolt, and copper crush washers, which should be replaced during installation to maintain a secure and leak-free connection. Dust boots are pre-installed to protect the piston and internal components. Note that brake pads are not included and must be sourced separately. Verify compatibility with Jeep CJ5, CJ7, and Scrambler models before installation.

The rust preventative finish and inclusion of new hardware components contribute to long-term durability and reliable braking performance.
