Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 19-3280 caliper, use the included hardware kit for proper mounting. Note that mounting bolts are not included and should be sourced separately if needed.

Applying silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins can help reduce noise and ensure smooth operation. Always bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove air and restore proper pedal feel.
