Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires removal of the old caliper and proper alignment of the mounting bracket and abutment clips included with this semi-loaded caliper. Ensure the brake system is properly bled using the included bleeder screw with M10x1.0 thread size to avoid air pockets.
