Detailed Product Features and Specifications

This Nugeon 99P17660A disc brake caliper is constructed from durable cast iron, providing strength and longevity.

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is properly bled using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain hydraulic pressure. Verify that the bracket is securely mounted, although mounting bolts are not included and must be sourced separately.
