Technical Specifications and Features
This disc brake caliper features four phenolic pistons, each measuring 2.75 inches (69.93 mm) in outer diameter, which help maintain consistent hydraulic pressure and reduce heat absorption compared to metal pistons. The zinc plating on the caliper body offers enhanced corrosion resistance, extending the service life of the component. Both the bleeder port and inlet port are sized at 7/16x24, ensuring compatibility with standard brake lines and fittings. The caliper is silver in color and comes with an instruction sheet and hardware kit to assist with installation.
Common Applications and Problem Solving
- Replacement for worn or leaking disc brake calipers on compatible vehicles
- Addressing brake drag caused by sticking pistons
- Resolving uneven brake pad wear due to caliper malfunction
- Improving brake system reliability with corrosion-resistant components
- Upgrading to phenolic pistons to reduce heat transfer and brake fade
Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure the brake system is properly bled after installation to remove air from the hydraulic lines. Verify that the 7/16x24 bleeder and inlet ports match your vehicle’s brake line fittings. Although mounting bolts are not included, the caliper comes with necessary hardware and an instruction sheet to guide the installation process. It is recommended to inspect brake pads and rotors during installation to confirm compatibility and optimal braking performance.
