Installation Notes and Tips

The Cardone 18-B4819 caliper comes with a complete hardware kit for installation; however, mounting bolts are not included and must be sourced separately. It is recommended to use silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins to ensure smooth operation. Always use brake fluid recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4, and bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove any air that may cause a low brake pedal. This caliper is designed to replace phenolic piston calipers and is not recommended to switch to steel piston types without verifying compatibility.
