What is Brake Caliper
A brake caliper is a component of a disc brake system that houses the brake pads and hydraulic pistons. It squeezes the brake pads against the rotor to establish friction, which slows or stops the vehicle. It plays a crucial role in the brake process, ensuring effective vehicle control.

How to install Brake Caliper
To install a brake caliper, first lift and secure the vehicle. Extract the decrepit caliper by unfastening the mounting bolts and disconnecting the brake line. Install the new caliper by securing it with bolts and reconnecting the brake line. Ensure the caliper is aligned correctly and bleed the brake system to extract any air.

Considerations relating to the use of Brake Caliper
When using a brake caliper, ensure it is regularly inspected for signs of wear or leakage. Check for uneven brake pad wear, which may indicate caliper issues. Proper maintenance includes ensuring the caliper slides smoothly and is complimentary from corrosion, as these can affect brake performance.

Function of Brake Caliper
The brake caliper clamps down on the brake rotor using the brake pads to establish friction. This friction slows down or stops the wheel鈥檚 rotation. The caliper houses the hydraulic pistons that press the pads against the rotor, enabling effective brake.
