About the Unloaded Caliper w/Bracket Product Line

The Cardone Unloaded Caliper w/Bracket line provides remanufactured calipers that come complete with the necessary bracket and hardware kit for installation. This product line focuses on delivering components that meet OE standards while allowing customers to reuse existing brake pads, as pads are not included. The 18-B5275AHD model is part of this line, offering a steel piston design and precise port sizes to ensure proper fit and function on Chevrolet Caprice vehicles.

Product Details and Specifications

This disc brake caliper features a single steel piston with an outer diameter of approximately 2.36 inches (59.944 mm). The caliper is finished with an oil emulsion coating in gray, providing resistance against corrosion and wear. The bleeder port and inlet port sizes are M10x1.0 and M10x1.5 respectively, matching OE specifications for proper brake fluid flow and maintenance. Installation hardware is included, though mounting bolts are not part of the package. The caliper uses silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins to ensure smooth operation and reduce noise.

Common Applications and Issues Addressed

• Replacement for worn or leaking disc brake calipers on Chevrolet Caprice
• Resolves symptoms of low brake pedal often caused by air in the brake system
• Addresses uneven braking or vehicle pulling to one side during braking
• Helps eliminate persistent brake squeal related to caliper issues
• Suitable for restoring proper brake hydraulics function without replacing brake pads

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 18-B5275AHD caliper, always use the brake fluid type recommended by the vehicle manufacturer, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4. Apply silicone grease to the floating caliper mounting pins to ensure smooth movement and prevent noise. Although new hardware is included, mounting bolts must be reused or sourced separately. It is not recommended to switch between phenolic and steel piston calipers, as this may affect braking performance. Proper bleeding of the brake system is essential to avoid low pedal issues.
