Technical Description and Features

This Cardone 19-B6157 caliper features a single steel piston with a precise outer diameter of approximately 56.95 mm, ensuring effective hydraulic pressure application. The gray oil emulsion finish protects against rust and wear, extending the caliper’s service life. The bleeder port and inlet port sizes (M10x1.0 and M10x1.5 respectively) match OEM specifications for proper brake fluid flow and maintenance. The caliper uses silicone grease on floating caliper mounting pins to maintain smooth operation and reduce noise.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Cardone 19-B6157 caliper requires the use of the included hardware kit; however, mounting bolts are not provided and must be sourced separately.

Applying silicone grease to the floating caliper mounting pins will help prevent noise and ensure smooth caliper movement. Always bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air and restore pedal firmness.
