Buying a used brake caliper: what to check

  1. Inspect piston shafts under dust boots: Peel back the rubber dust boot to confirm the hydraulic piston shaft has no rust pitting, flaking chrome, or fluid leakage.
  2. Check slide pin articulation: Verify that carrier slide pins move freely in their bores without binding, excessive slop, or torn rubber grease boots.
  3. Test bleeder screw rotation: Ensure the bleeder screw turns smoothly and is not rounded off, sheared, or seized solid in the caliper housing.
  4. Confirm mounting bracket inclusion: Verify the yard includes the matching carrier bracket and slide pins, as bolt spacing frequently varies across rotor size packages.
  5. Replace banjo bolt copper crush washers: Always install fresh soft copper crush washers on the brake line banjo fitting during installation to prevent high-pressure leaks.
