Detailed Product Description

This Nugeon disc brake caliper is remanufactured using a durable cast iron casting, finished in grey with rust preventative treatment to resist corrosion.

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is properly bled after installation to remove air from the lines using the included bleeder screw. Verify that the bracket and caliper slides are securely mounted to allow smooth caliper movement. Inspect dust boots for proper seating to prevent contamination. Use compatible brake pads as this caliper does not include pads or anti-squeal shims. Confirm inlet port thread size (M10-1.0) matches your brake line fittings before installation.
