Detailed Product Description
This Raybestos disc brake caliper (FRC10539) is remanufactured using a cast iron casting material, providing strength and resistance to wear. The semi-loaded configuration means the caliper comes partially assembled, simplifying the installation process while ensuring compatibility with the original brake system. The caliper piston diameter measures 1.000 inch (25.4 mm), matching factory specifications for consistent braking force and pad contact. The included bleeder screw features an M10x1 thread, compatible with the hydraulic brake system fittings on the specified Ford and Mercury models.
