Carlson Disc Brake Caliper Piston P/N:7150
Rebuild a seized or leaking caliper with the Carlson disc brake caliper piston 7819, the part that converts brake fluid pressure into the clamping force that presses the pads against the rotor. It drops in as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of medium-duty and commercial trucks, and is cataloged for the front or rear position depending on the application — including the 2003-2009 Chevrolet C4500 Kodiak. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
Brakes work as a system, so it's good practice to refresh worn caliper hardware whenever the friction material is replaced. If a scored, sticking or leaking original piston is the cause of your braking problem, this part replaces it.
