Technical Details and Features
The FRC3972 caliper is constructed from cast iron, a material known for its strength and heat resistance, which is critical for brake components.

The bleeder screw thread is M10x1, allowing for effective brake fluid bleeding during maintenance. The plain surface finish indicates the caliper is friction-ready, prepared for brake pad installation without additional surface treatment.

- Addresses brake fluid leakage issues related to caliper seals
- Improves braking response by replacing corroded or damaged calipers
- Helps eliminate uneven brake pad wear caused by faulty calipers
Installation Notes and Tips
Ensure the brake system is properly bled after installation to remove air from the lines, using the M10x1 bleeder screw. Verify that the caliper bracket is securely mounted and that the piston moves freely before installing brake pads. It is recommended to inspect brake hoses and hardware during installation to maintain overall brake system integrity.
