General Description

This caliper has a single bore and is mounted to the caliper bracket with two mounting bolts. Hydraulic pressure, created by applying the brake pedal, is converted by the caliper to a clamping force. This force acts equally against the piston and the bottom of the caliper bore to move the piston outward and to move (slide) the caliper inward resulting in a clamping action on the rotor. This clamping action forces the pads against the rotor, creating friction to stop the vehicle.

Important:
^ Replace all components included in repair kits used to service this caliper.
^ Lubricate rubber parts with clean brake fluid to ease assembly.
^ Do not use lubricated compressed air on brake parts as damage to rubber components may result.
^ If any hydraulic component is removed or disconnected, it is necessary to bleed the entire brake system.
^ Replace brake pads in axle sets only.
^ The torque values specified are for dry, nonlubricated fasteners.
^ Perform service operations on a clean bench free from all mineral oil materials.
