Since mounting hardware and brake pads are not included, verify compatibility and condition of existing components or source replacements separately. The caliper’s floating design requires correct alignment on the mounting bracket, which is not included but typically reused from the original assembly. Use the specified 3\/8\"-24 thread fittings for inlet and bleeder screw connections to ensure a secure fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers are manufactured to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function.
