Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a single steel piston with a 54mm bore size, ensuring consistent braking force. The caliper is a floating type, which allows for self-alignment during braking. It uses a banjo-style inlet fitting with an M10x1.5 thread size and includes a bleeder screw with an M10x1.0 thread for easy brake fluid bleeding. The caliper casting is made from cast iron, providing durability and resistance to wear. Included components such as the mounting bracket and abutment clips facilitate proper installation and secure fitment.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5
• Addresses issues with brake fluid leaks or piston malfunction
• Restores proper brake pad alignment and caliper movement
• Helps resolve uneven brake pad wear due to caliper sticking
• Improves braking performance by replacing corroded or damaged caliper components

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires a mounting bracket, which is included with this caliper. Note that brake pads and mounting hardware are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure the inlet fitting and bleeder screw thread sizes (M10x1.5 and M10x1.0 respectively) match your vehicle’s brake lines. Properly bleed the brake system after installation to remove air and maintain braking efficiency. Use appropriate torque specifications for mounting bolts and fittings to avoid damage.
