Installation Notes and Tips

Installation of the Pagid 355784631 caliper should be performed by qualified personnel due to the technical nature of brake system components. Ensure the brake system is properly bled after installation using the included bleeder screw. Verify that mounting bolts are torqued to manufacturer specifications. Since mounting hardware is limited to bolts and bleeder screw, additional components such as pads and mounting brackets must be sourced separately. Inspect caliper slides for smooth operation before assembly.
