Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper installation is essential for brake safety. Before beginning, ensure the vehicle is secured on a level surface or lift. Due to the lack of included instructions, the installer should refer to the specific vehicle manufacturer's service manual for the correct caliper torque specifications and piston retraction procedures.
- Verify compatibility by checking your vehicle's VIN or OE part number against the 116199 specifications.
- Clean the caliper housing and mounting points thoroughly to remove brake dust and debris.
- Apply appropriate brake lubricant to the pad ears, avoiding any contact with the friction surface.
- Ensure the wear sensor is properly seated in the connector if the vehicle is equipped with electronic monitoring.
- Bed-in the pads according to standard automotive practices (avoiding heavy braking for the first 100-200 miles) to ensure a proper transfer layer on the rotors.
