Technical Description and Features

This disc brake caliper features a floating design with a single piston made of steel, measuring 42mm in diameter. The caliper body is constructed from cast iron, providing resistance to wear and heat. It includes a mounting bracket and abutment clips but does not come with brake pads or mounting hardware bolts. The inlet thread size is M10x1.0 with a bubble fitting type, facilitating secure brake line connection. The bleeder screw, essential for brake fluid bleeding, is included and sized M7x1.0. The caliper is designed for the trailing axle position on the Smart Fortwo, ensuring proper fit and function.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement of worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Smart Fortwo vehicles
• Addressing brake fluid leaks due to faulty caliper seals or bleeder screws
• Resolving uneven brake pad wear caused by caliper piston issues
• Improving braking response by replacing corroded or seized calipers
• Maintaining proper brake system function with compatible mounting brackets and clips

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires removal of the old caliper and proper alignment of the mounting bracket included with this part. Brake pads and mounting hardware bolts must be sourced separately. Ensure the bleeder screw is properly tightened and bled to remove air from the brake system. The inlet fitting uses an M10x1.0 thread with a bubble type connection; verify compatibility with existing brake lines. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for mounting bolts and brake line fittings.
