Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper is designed with a 10mm inlet thread diameter (M10x1.0) and includes a bleeder screw with matching thread size for efficient brake fluid bleeding. The caliper’s gray finish helps protect against corrosion, while the included mounting bracket and abutment clips ensure proper fitment and alignment. The piston’s steel construction enhances durability under high-temperature braking conditions. Note that this caliper does not include brake pads or pad wear sensors, so these components must be sourced separately.

• Restores proper brake function when piston or caliper body is corroded or seized
• Addresses brake fluid leaks from caliper inlet or bleeder screw threads
• Improves braking consistency by replacing calipers with uneven pad wear or sticking pistons
• Supports maintenance of trailing axle brake assemblies on compatible vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure compatibility with specific Hyundai and Kia models before installation
• Use proper torque specifications for mounting bracket and bleeder screw
