Installation Notes and Tips
When installing the Cardone 19-917 caliper, use the included hardware kit for proper mounting. Note that mounting bolts are not included and must be sourced separately.

Applying silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins can help reduce noise and ensure smooth caliper movement. Always bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove air and achieve a firm brake pedal feel.
