Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear left position and confirm the M10x1.0 port sizing before installation. Always use the brake fluid specified by the vehicle manufacturer, and replace fluid from a sealed container. For floating caliper mounting pins, use silicone grease as recommended in the product guidance. Inspect hoses, pads, and rear brake hardware during service to avoid repeat brake concerns.
