Brake Caliper Replacement
Caliper Pin replacement service addresses brake-related noise concerns by replacing the caliper pin with anOES quality part. It involves opening the caliper assembly and fitting the new pin meticulously, aiming to resolve any issues causing noise in the braking system. This replacement ensures the proper functioning of the caliper, effectively reducing or eliminating brake-related noises for a smoother and quieter braking experience.
Vehicles are a necessity of life, but when your car screams its way into the nearest parking spot, it’s time to book with DiscountMechanic to determine if there is a need for Brake Caliper Replacement.
WHAT IS BRAKE CALIPER REPLACEMENT?
When the brake is applied, the brake fluid will flow from the master cylinder to the calipers. This applies pressure on the piston, located inside the caliper, and the pressure pushes the brake pads against the rotors. This will either slow or stop your vehicle. In time these calipers can become worn, causing a malfunction in the brakes, so a brake caliper replacement will be required.
HOW IS BRAKE CALIPER REPLACEMENT DONE?
After removing the wheel and the old caliper, a special tool is used to compress the piston fully into the new caliper. Once the brake line is attached to the new caliper and the brake pads are fitted, they will make sure everything is bolted firmly in place - including tightening the brake hose.
Your mechanic will then bleed the brake lines, put the wheel back on and the brake caliper replacement is complete.
