This caliper has a single bore and is mounted to the steering knuckle with 2 mounting bolts. Hydraulic pressure, created by applying 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 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.
Important:
• Replace all components included in the repair kits used to service this
caliper. • Lubricate the rubber parts with clean brake fluid to ease assembly. • Do not use lubricated shop air on brake parts, as damage to the 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 the pads in the axle sets only. • The torque values specified are for dry, unlubricated fasteners. • Perform the service operations on a clean bench, free from all mineral
oil materials.
