The floating caliper design with two pistons ensures even pressure distribution across the brake pads, reducing uneven wear. The included caliper bracket is designed with a 12.000 mm mounting hole size and a 1.750 thread pitch, facilitating a secure fit on compatible vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe caliper piston diameter measures approximately 45.9 mm (1.807 inches), which is critical for proper pad engagement and braking force. The bleeder screw thread size of 3\/8\"-24 allows for efficient brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance. This semi-loaded caliper configuration comes with a plain surface finish, suitable for standard brake system applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the R-Line; Friction-Ready Caliper, Remanufactured; Includes Bracket\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Raybestos R-Line; Friction-Ready Caliper, Remanufactured; Includes Bracket product line focuses on providing remanufactured brake calipers that come ready for friction material installation. This means the caliper is prepared to accept brake pads without additional machining or modification, streamlining the replacement process. Including the caliper bracket in the package ensures compatibility and reduces the need for separate parts, making it a practical choice for maintenance on Ford, Mazda, and Mercury trucks and SUVs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Common Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Ranger (various years)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Explorer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFord Mountaineer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMazda B2300, B2500, B3000, B4000\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercury Mountaineer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eIssues This Caliper Addresses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven brake pad wear due to piston or caliper malfunction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fluid leaks from worn or damaged caliper seals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking efficiency caused by sticking or seized caliper pistons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCorrosion or damage to original caliper casting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDifficulty in mounting due to missing or damaged caliper brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure compatibility with your vehicle’s make and model before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBleed the brake system thoroughly after caliper replacement to remove air\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect brake pads and rotors for wear and replace if necessary\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse proper torque specifications for caliper bracket mounting bolts (12.000 mm hole size, 1.750 thread pitch)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck bleeder screw for proper thread engagement and seal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis remanufactured Raybestos caliper undergoes rigorous inspection and testing to meet OEM standards.
