Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before beginning brake service. Clean the caliper and rotor surfaces thoroughly to remove debris and corrosion. Since mounting hardware is not included, inspect existing hardware for wear and replace if necessary. Verify that the pad shims are properly seated and attached to reduce noise. After installation, perform a brake bedding procedure to optimize pad performance and longevity.
