Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the brake system is properly depressurized before removing the old caliper. Verify that the mounting bracket hole size and thread pitch match the vehicle’s specifications. Use the correct bleeder screw size (M10x1.00) for brake fluid bleeding. Since this caliper is friction ready, pair it with compatible brake pads for optimal performance. Inspect brake lines and hardware during installation to maintain system integrity.
