Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Cardone 19-B1949 caliper, use the included hardware kit for mounting the caliper and bracket. Note that mounting bolts are not included and must be sourced separately if needed. It is recommended to apply silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins to ensure smooth operation. Always use the brake fluid type specified by the vehicle manufacturer, typically DOT 3 or DOT 4, and bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove any air that may cause a low brake pedal. Verify that the bleeder port and inlet port sizes match the vehicle’s brake lines for proper fitment.

The 19-B1949 caliper is built to provide reliable braking function and corrosion resistance with its oil emulsion finish. Installation hardware is included to facilitate proper mounting. Warranty coverage details should be confirmed with the distributor or retailer, as Cardone typically offers limited warranties on remanufactured brake components to ensure customer confidence in product quality.
