Technical Description and Features

This disc brake caliper features a single steel piston with a precise 44.04 mm outer diameter, providing consistent clamping force for effective braking. The caliper’s oil emulsion finish in gray enhances resistance to rust and wear. It includes a bleeder port sized M8x1.25 and an inlet port sized M10x1.0, ensuring compatibility with OEM brake lines and fittings. The package contains the caliper, bracket, and a hardware kit, though mounting bolts are not included. The caliper uses silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins to maintain smooth operation and reduce noise.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replaces worn or leaking calipers on BMW 330i, 335i, and X1 models
• Addresses symptoms of low brake pedal often caused by air in the brake system
• Helps resolve brake pull issues where the vehicle pulls to one side during braking
• Eliminates squealing noises related to caliper hardware or mounting pin lubrication
• Restores proper hydraulic pressure and brake fluid flow in the brake system

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires the use of brake fluid recommended by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). The caliper comes with new hardware, but mounting bolts must be sourced separately. It is important to use silicone grease on the floating caliper mounting pins to prevent noise and ensure smooth movement. Always bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air and restore proper pedal feel.
