Is mounting hardware included?
A new bleeder screw is included, and items such as the mounting bracket, banjo bolts, washers, stainless steel clips and mounting pins are included where applicable. A cap plug protects the brake port thread.

Yes if you drive a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro or Pontiac Firebird, 1969-1974 Chevrolet Nova, 1971-1974 Pontiac Ventura, 1973-1974 Buick Apollo, or 1973-1974 Oldsmobile Omega. Confirm in the Buyer's Guide tab.
What are signs a brake caliper may need replacing?
Common signs include brake fluid leaking at the caliper, uneven or dragging brakes, a pull to one side while braking, or a sticking piston. Diagnose the cause before replacing.
Should I replace calipers in pairs?
This listing is for one caliper. Replacing the caliper on both sides of the axle as a matched pair is good practice that helps keep braking balanced and even.
