Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is fully depressurized before removing the old caliper. This caliper includes the mounting bracket and bleeder screw but does not come with brake pads or mounting hardware bolts, so verify you have the necessary components before installation. Use compatible brake fluid and bleed the system thoroughly after installation to remove air. Confirm the inlet thread size (M10x1.0) matches your brake line fittings. Proper torque specifications should be followed for mounting bolts and bleeder screws to avoid leaks or damage.
