Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 19-6456 caliper, use the included hardware kit for proper mounting. Note that mounting bolts are not included and must be sourced separately if needed. It is recommended to use the brake fluid type specified by the vehicle manufacturer, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4. Applying silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins can help ensure smooth caliper movement and reduce noise. Always bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove air and restore proper pedal feel.
