How to Remove and Replace a Front Brake Caliper on Dodge Nitro?

The first step for installing a caliper is mounting caliper 4 onto caliper adapter 5. Apply silicone grease to bolts 3 from the one near the bleeder screws to the last one and once done, tighten them with 37 Nm of force (that's 28 ft. lbs.). Before tightening the bolt, make sure the brake hose is not twisted or bent. After that, set up the brake hose banjo bolt 2 and the brake hose on caliper 4, using new seal washers and tighten the fitting bolt to 31 Nm (23 ft. lbs.), if it was removed beforehand. When the prop rod is removed, use the bleed screw on the base system. Fit the tyres to the wheel and add them to the axle, support the vehicle no longer and then lower it all the way. Be sure to try the brakes before you move the vehicle.

The Brake Caliper is as an important part of the Dodge Nitro vehicles' braking system that changes the hydraulic pressure supplied by the master cylinder into mechanical force required to clasp the brake pads onto the rotors, to slow the vehicle or bring it to a halt. Dodge Nitro models utilize two primary types of Brake Calipers: For instance there are the fixed assets and the floating assets. While fixed brake calipers have the pistons on either side of the rotor all in a line creating equal pressure, the floating brake calipers have the pistons on one side of the rotor which slides to create pressure, some of the problems associated with such brake calipers include, the pads wear out unevenly if not well maintained. Dodge Nitro brake calipers are some of the several units that have for a long time been developed to suit different performance requirements as regards replacement brake calipers, or performance brake calipers. Whereas standard equipment calipers are good for road use, the performance calipers are better in that they have better braking ability and are durable especially when used hard. In relation to this, the correction of the Dodge Nitro and the inclusion of the Brake Caliper as an important component requires routine assessment in order to avoid severe impact on the smooth running of the vehicle in the long run.
