The semi-loaded configuration means the caliper comes partially assembled, simplifying the installation process while allowing for friction material to be installed separately. The caliper piston diameter measures 2.000 inches (50.8 mm), ensuring compatibility with the brake system specifications of the Ford Escort, Mazda Protege, and Mercury Tracer models. The M8x1 bleeder screw thread is a standard size that facilitates proper brake fluid bleeding and maintenance. The plain surface finish indicates the caliper is friction-ready, allowing for the installation of brake pads without additional machining or preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the R-Line; Friction-Ready Caliper, Remanufactured Product Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Raybestos R-Line; Friction-Ready Caliper, Remanufactured series focuses on providing remanufactured brake calipers that are ready for friction material installation.
