Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the BBB Industries 99-17701A remanufactured caliper on a Dodge Ram 3500, ensure the brake system is properly bled using the included bleeder screw (3/8-24 x 1). The caliper bracket is included, but mounting bolts must be reused or sourced separately. Verify that the caliper slides are clean and lubricated before installation to prevent binding. Use the provided banjo bolt and copper washers to secure the brake line inlet fitting, ensuring a leak-free connection. Since brake pads are not included, inspect and replace pads as necessary during installation.
