Jekit Front Brake Caliper 355x32mm Rear 355x28mm Disc Pad Kit
BASIC BRAKE KIT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Fitting a Hat-Type Disc Rotor
The following steps are recommended to ensure the best possible
results after fitting a hat type disc rotor:
1. Remove wheel.
2. Remove brake pads and push caliper piston back. Start by first
loosening the bleeder so as not to push contaminated fluid into the
system. Check caliper condition e.g. slides are not stiff or worn.
3. Remove caliper from its supports without disconnecting brake
line, making sure to secure it without letting it hang.
4. Remove old brake rotor.
5. Check hub bearings for wear, replace as necessary (refer to the
vehicles manual for exact specifications).
6. Remove any scale or grit off hub face to ensure positive contact
with the inside of the new rotor.
7. Fit new disc rotor to hub making sure it is indexed to a point
with minimum run-out (using a radial dial indicator).
8. Refit brake caliper.
9. Clean any grease or foreign material off the rotor with Brake
Cleaner.
10. Select correct brake pads to suit the style and driving
conditions of the driver and vehicle.
11. Check brake fluid condition and replace as necessary. Do not
flush dirty fluid through the system, remove dirty fluid from
reservoir first.
12. Refit wheel, tightening wheel nuts in correct sequence and to
recommended torque settings.
13. Carry out road test and bedding-in procedure. Refer to brake
pad manufacturer’s bedding in procedure.
14. Ensure vehicle owner understands that the rotors will take
approximately 300km to bed-in.

About Brake System
Brake caliper replacement is pretty simple – until you get to the
bleeding part. Then you’ll need a friend (and possibly a whole lot
of patience) to finish the job. Fancy bleeder tools help as well.
Brake Caliper Replacement Costs
If you decide to have a professional replace your caliper, which is
a smart move if you’re uncertain of your mechanical prowess, expect
to pay anywhere from a few hundred dollars to over $1,000. That’s
certainly not chump change, but it beats having brake problems if
you do the job incorrectly.
However, if you’re confident that you’re up to the task, you can
cut labor costs and expect to pay $50 to $100 for a replacement
caliper. Some calipers are brand-new, while others are
remanufactured.
What Tools Do You Need to Install a Brake Caliper?
The tools needed to replace a brake caliper vary, depending on what
type of car you have. But in general, you’ll need:
A good buddy or a one-person brake bleeding tool
Appropriate size line wrench
Brake fluid
Brake line plug (sold at most auto parts stores)
Breaker bar
C-clamp or disc brake spreader
Fluid catch pan
Jack and jack stands
Large screwdriver or pry bar
Plastic container
Ratchet and appropriate size sockets (some calipers may require a
Torx or Allen head socket)
Rubber hose that fits the bleeder screw
Safety glasses
Torque wrench
Wheel chocks
Should You Do the Job Yourself?
We’re talking about your brakes here. If you have any doubts about
tackling the job, don’t do it yourself. Let a professional complete
the work instead.
On the other hand, if you’re savvy with a wrench, brake caliper
replacement is usually a fairly simple task. As was mentioned, the
toughest part of the job is the post-replacement brake bleeding.
