Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is properly bled after installation to remove air from the hydraulic lines. The included bleeder screw and banjo bolt inlet fitting simplify connection to existing brake lines. Verify that the bracket is securely mounted and that caliper slides move freely to prevent uneven pad wear. Use compatible brake pads as this caliper does not include pads or anti-squeal shims. Inspect dust boots for proper seating to avoid contamination.
