Caliper Bracket

CAUTION: The bolts which attach caliper bracket to knuckles must be replaced anytime they become loose or are removed. In this application, tightening or loosening these special bolts which use an encapsulated thread compound, is not recommended. Failure to replace caliper bracket bolts after they have been loosened or removed may result in loosening of caliper to knuckle attachment, causing reduced vehicle braking ability, and may result in personal injury.

NOTICE: Always use the correct fastener in the proper location. When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part number for that application. the manufacturer will call out those fasteners that require a replacement after removal. The manufacturer will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do not use supplemental coatings (paints, greases, or other corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and systems.
