Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the 97-17340B 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 used to secure brake lines and pads correctly. Verify that dust boots are seated properly to prevent contamination. This caliper does not include brake pads or anti-squeal shims, so these components must be sourced separately if needed. Always follow vehicle-specific torque specifications for mounting bolts and fittings.
