Can I install this kit myself?

How do I ensure the new pistons are installed correctly?

Ensure the caliper bore is clean and free of debris. Lubricate the new pistons and seals with appropriate brake fluid or assembly lube as recommended in your service manual before carefully inserting them.

Troubleshooting

Brake lever feels spongy after installation

Ensure all air has been properly bled from the brake system. Check for any leaks around the caliper seals and banjo bolt connections.

Brake caliper is sticking or not retracting properly

Verify that the new pistons are moving freely within the caliper bore. Ensure the caliper bore was thoroughly cleaned and free of debris. Check that seals are correctly seated and not damaged.

Reduced braking power

Confirm the correct model and year compatibility. Double-check the installation process, ensuring proper brake fluid level and that the system is fully bled.
