Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s brake system by verifying the trailing axle position and inlet thread size (3/8"-24). This caliper includes the mounting bracket and bleeder screw but does not come with additional mounting hardware, so source necessary bolts separately. Properly bleed the brake system after installation to remove air and ensure optimal hydraulic pressure. Use the recommended caliper boot and seal kit (part number 143.65019) for maintenance or rebuilds.
