What It Helps Fix

• Brake drag caused by a sticking caliper piston
• Uneven braking from worn hydraulic components
• Brake fluid leakage at the caliper body or seals
• Soft or inconsistent pedal feel related to caliper wear
• Corrosion-related caliper performance issues

Installation Notes

Use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer, and always install fresh fluid from a sealed container. For floating caliper mounting pins, silicone grease is used on the pins. If the vehicle uses a steel piston or phenolic piston from the factory, follow the original equipment recommendation rather than swapping piston materials.

Fits Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Hino, and Isuzu brake applications listed by the vehicle catalog for this part number. Verify caliper bracket requirements and brake hose connection details before installation. Part number 18-8051 should be matched to the exact application in the catalog before service.
