Technical Details and Specifications

This disc brake caliper features a cast iron body and casting, ensuring structural integrity under demanding braking conditions. The dual phenolic pistons, each with a diameter of approximately 66 mm (2.598 inches), provide effective hydraulic pressure distribution. The inlet fitting uses a 3/8"-24 banjo thread, compatible with standard brake lines. The included bleeder screw also matches this thread size, facilitating proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance. The caliper is designed for trailing axle positions and weighs approximately 20.5 lbs for the caliper body and 9.05 lbs for the mounting bracket.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged floating disc brake calipers on compatible vehicles
• Restores proper hydraulic pressure and braking efficiency
• Addresses brake drag or uneven pad wear due to caliper malfunction
• Solves issues related to leaking or seized pistons
• Improves brake pedal feel and response in trailing axle setups

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model before installation. This caliper does not include brake pads or pad wear sensors, so these components must be sourced separately. The mounting bracket and abutment clips are included, but mounting hardware is not. Properly torque all fasteners to manufacturer specifications and bleed the brake system thoroughly using the included bleeder screw to remove air and ensure optimal brake performance.
