Technical Specifications

Installation Guide

1. Preparation: Ensure the vehicle’s brake system is depressurized. Remove the wheel and access the existing caliper.
2. Remove Old Caliper: Disconnect the brake lines, unscrew the mounting bolts, and carefully lift the caliper away from the rotor.
3. Install New Caliper: Position the ABS 721471 caliper onto the mounting bracket, align the bolt holes, and secure with the supplied bolts.
4. Reconnect Brake Lines: Attach the brake lines to the new caliper’s inlet/outlet ports, ensuring a tight seal.
5. Bleed the System: Bleed the brake system to remove any air and restore proper hydraulic pressure.
6. Test: Verify that the brake pedal feels firm and that the caliper engages correctly on both sides.

Maintenance Tips

• Regular Inspection: Check for signs of wear, corrosion, or fluid leaks every 10,000 miles.
• Brake Pad Replacement: Replace pads when wear indicators reach the minimum thickness to maintain optimal braking performance.
• Fluid Quality: Use the recommended brake fluid type and replace it according to the manufacturer’s schedule.
• Cooling: Ensure adequate airflow around the caliper to prevent overheating during heavy braking.
