Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported on jack stands. Remove the wheel to access the brake assembly.
2. Remove Old Caliper: Disconnect the hydraulic line, release pressure from the master cylinder, and remove the caliper mounting bolts. Carefully lift the old caliper away from the rotor.
3. Install New Caliper: Position the ABS 630021 caliper onto the mounting bracket. Tighten the mounting bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specification.
4. Reconnect Hydraulic Line: Attach the hydraulic line to the new caliper, ensuring a snug fit. Bleed the brake system to remove any air bubbles.
5. Reassemble Wheel: Place the wheel back onto the hub and torque the lug nuts in a star pattern to manufacturer specifications.
6. Test Drive: Perform a short test drive at low speed, checking for proper braking response and any abnormal noises.

Maintenance Tips

• Inspect the caliper pistons regularly for signs of wear or corrosion.
• Replace brake pads when pad thickness falls below 3 mm to maintain optimal contact with the rotor.
• Clean the caliper surface with a non‑abrasive cleaner to prevent contamination of the hydraulic system.
• Check for leaks in the hydraulic line and seal any gaps promptly.

Common Applications

The ABS 630021 Brake Caliper is frequently used in:

• Commercial Vans: Fiat Ducato, Citroën Jumper, Peugeot Boxer – providing reliable stopping power for cargo and passenger transport.
• Light Trucks: Models requiring robust front‑wheel braking under heavy load conditions.
• Fleet Vehicles: Ideal for fleet operators seeking consistent performance across multiple vehicles.

Performance Highlights

The design of the ABS 630021 ensures:

• Consistent Braking Force: Even pad wear and precise piston alignment deliver predictable stopping distances.
• Heat Management: The grey cast finish enhances heat dissipation, reducing brake fade during prolonged use.
