The bleeder screw, also included, has an M10x1.0 thread size to facilitate brake fluid bleeding and maintenance. Note that this caliper does not include brake pads, pad wear sensors, or mounting hardware bolts.

• Suitable for vehicles requiring a floating caliper with a 38mm piston diameter

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the mounting bracket is installed securely as it is required for this caliper. Since mounting hardware bolts are not included, reuse existing bolts or acquire OEM replacements.
