Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a cast iron body, which provides durability and effective heat dissipation during braking. The floating caliper design allows for self-alignment with the brake rotor, reducing uneven pad wear. It includes a single steel piston with a 42mm diameter, ensuring consistent hydraulic pressure application. The inlet fitting uses a banjo style with an M10x1.5 thread, compatible with standard brake lines. Additionally, the caliper comes with a bleeder screw (M10x1.0 thread) to facilitate brake fluid bleeding during maintenance.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on BMW X5
• Addresses uneven brake pad wear due to caliper misalignment
• Resolves brake fluid leakage issues by providing a new bleeder screw and inlet fitting
• Improves braking consistency with a reliable single-piston floating caliper design
• Supports brake system maintenance by including mounting brackets and abutment clips

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires the use of the included mounting bracket and abutment clips; however, mounting hardware bolts are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure the brake system is properly bled using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain hydraulic integrity. Verify compatibility with BMW X5 brake lines using the M10x1.5 banjo inlet fitting. It is recommended to inspect brake pads separately, as this caliper does not include pads or pad wear sensors.
