Product Line Details: Reman Caliper w/ Installation Hardware

The Reman Caliper w/ Installation Hardware line from BBB Industries focuses on providing remanufactured brake calipers that come complete with essential installation components. This ensures compatibility and ease of installation for technicians working on vehicles like the Ford Freestar. The inclusion of hardware such as caliper slides, bleeder screws, and brackets supports a comprehensive replacement solution without the need for additional parts.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features an aluminum casting material that offers a balance of strength and weight savings. The caliper is finished in gray with a rust preventative coating to extend service life. It includes two phenolic pistons, each measuring 51 mm (2 inches) in diameter, which provide effective hydraulic pressure transfer while resisting heat-induced wear. The inlet fitting uses a banjo bolt with an M10-1.5 thread size, compatible with standard brake lines on the Ford Freestar. Dust boots and bleeder screws (M10-1.0 x 28) are included to maintain system integrity and facilitate brake bleeding.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement of worn or leaking brake calipers on Ford Freestar vehicles
• Resolving uneven brake pad wear due to caliper slide issues
• Addressing brake fluid leaks from damaged or corroded caliper components
• Improving brake pedal feel by restoring proper piston function
• Eliminating brake noise caused by faulty caliper hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the 99-17917B caliper on a Ford Freestar, ensure all old hardware is removed and the mounting surfaces are clean. The included installation hardware simplifies the process, but verify that the bracket mounting bolts are compatible as they are not included. Properly torque the banjo bolt inlet fitting and bleed the brake system using the supplied bleeder screw to remove air. Inspect dust boots for proper seating to prevent contamination.
