Installation Notes

Use the correct brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer and replace fluid from a sealed container. Floating caliper mounting pins require silicone grease. Before installation, confirm the brake hose, master cylinder, and rear brake adjustment are in good condition if pedal feel concerns are present. The caliper bracket is included for the listed application, and the package contents include the caliper, bracket, and hardware kit.
