Can I install the brake caliper myself?

That depends on your automotive skill and the tools you have available. As the braking system is a vital part of your automobile, it's recommended you follow your repair manual.

General Tips:

  • Replace the calipers in pairs. However, dismantle only one side at a time in case you need to use the other side as a reference.
  • Replace the pads when you replace the calipers, both parts are inexpensive and if one fails, the other will probably fail soon after.
  • Tools you will probably need include? small hammer, vise grips, c-clamp, jack, jack stands, brake cleaner, brake fluid, and either hex or allen wrenches depending on your vehicle.
  • When you're done installing the caliper but before you put the wheel back on, be sure to press the brakes a few to ensure proper pressure. The first couple pumps may be weak as the piston is finding its new position, however it should become firmer with successive pumps.

How do I know if my brake caliper is not working properly?

Poor braking ability although your brake pads aren't worn may be indicative of a malfunctioning caliper. Shuddering or squealing while braking could also be symptoms of a failing caliper.

Do calipers include brake pads?

No, brake pads are not included with the purchase of the brake caliper. However, click here for 1A Auto brake pads.
