Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model before installation. This caliper requires separate brake pads and mounting hardware, so verify you have these components on hand. The included mounting bracket and abutment clips simplify installation, but mounting bolts must be sourced separately. Properly bleed the brake system using the included bleeder screw to remove air and ensure optimal brake performance. Follow manufacturer torque specifications for mounting bolts and fittings.
