Product Line Details: Unloaded Caliper w/Bracket

The Cardone Unloaded Caliper w/Bracket product line offers remanufactured calipers that come complete with the mounting bracket and necessary hardware kit.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a single steel piston with an outer diameter of 33.909 mm, providing consistent and durable braking force. The caliper’s bleeder and inlet ports both use an M10x1.0 thread size, compatible with OEM brake lines and fittings. The oil emulsion finish in gray offers protection against corrosion and wear, extending the caliper’s service life. A silicone grease is recommended for floating caliper mounting pins to ensure smooth operation and prevent squealing noises.

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Cardone 19-B2856 caliper includes the bracket and hardware kit, but mounting bolts are not included and should be reused if in good condition.
