General Description

This caliper has a single bore and is mounted to the support bracket with two mounting bolts. Hydraulic pressure, created by applying force to the brake pedal, is converted by the caliper to a stopping 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 linings against the rotor, creating friction to stop the vehicle.

NOTICE: 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 shop air on brake parts as damage to rubber components may result. If any hydraulic component is removed or disconnected, it may be necessary to bleed all or part of the brake system. Replace shoe and linings in axle sets only. The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners. Perform service operations on a clean bench free from all mineral oil materials.
