Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 18-B4752 caliper, use the included hardware kit for secure mounting. Note that mounting bolts are not included and must be sourced separately if needed.

Always use the brake fluid type specified by the vehicle manufacturer, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4. Proper bleeding of the brake system is essential to avoid low pedal issues and ensure optimal braking performance.
