Technical Description and Features

This Cardone 18-B4713 caliper features a single phenolic piston measuring approximately 1.892 inches (48.06 mm) in diameter, which helps reduce heat transfer to the brake fluid. The caliper is finished with an oil emulsion coating in gray to resist corrosion. Both the bleeder and inlet ports use an M10x1.0 thread size, matching OEM specifications for proper brake line and bleeder screw fitment. The caliper uses silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins to ensure smooth operation and prevent seizing.

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 18-B4713 caliper, always use the included hardware kit for proper mounting.
