Installation Notes

Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer and replace fluid from a sealed container only. For floating caliper mounting pins, silicone grease is used on the pins. Bleed the system carefully after installation to remove air and verify a firm pedal. Because this is an unloaded caliper, transfer or replace pads as required by the vehicle service procedure.

For Ford brake repair jobs, confirm the original caliper configuration before installation and compare the part number 18-8004 against the removed unit. The included hardware kit supports a cleaner installation, and the protective port caps help keep threads free of contamination until the caliper is mounted.
