Detailed Product Description and Features

This BBB Industries disc brake caliper is remanufactured to meet OEM specifications, featuring a durable cast iron construction with a rust preventative finish to resist corrosion. The caliper uses a single steel piston with a 57 mm diameter, ensuring consistent braking force. It includes a banjo bolt inlet fitting and comes with the necessary brake pad installation hardware, including copper crush washers, to support a secure and leak-free installation. The caliper also features a bleeder screw with an M10-1.5 thread size for proper brake fluid bleeding and dust boots to protect internal components from contaminants.
