Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Ford Transit Connect
• Addresses issues with uneven brake pad wear due to piston or caliper malfunction

• Improves braking response when original caliper components have corroded or seized
• Supports maintenance of proper brake system hydraulics with correct inlet thread and fitting

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with Ford Transit Connect models before installation. This caliper comes semi-loaded, so brake pads and pad wear sensors must be sourced separately. Use the included mounting bracket and abutment clips for secure fitment. Properly bleed the brake system using the supplied bleeder screw to remove air and maintain hydraulic integrity. Verify inlet thread size M10x1.0 matches your brake line fittings to avoid leaks.
