Help your rear calipers seal and release the way they were designed to with the Carlson disc brake caliper repair kit, part number 41164, which supplies the boot and square-cut seals a caliper rebuild calls for. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1997-2003 Ford F-150, 1998-1999 Ford F-250 and 1997-2002 Ford Expedition, along with other Ford and Lincoln models. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
Carlson points out that brakes are engineered as a system, and every component has to work together for the best performance. The boot and square-cut seals in this rear brake caliper repair kit are there so the caliper operates as designed through each apply-and-release cycle.
If worn or leaking caliper seals are behind a seeping or dragging rear caliper, resealing with this kit replaces them, and Carlson designs it with like-new brake performance in mind. Diagnose the cause before replacing parts, and follow the vehicle service information for the rebuild and bleeding procedure.

Can I use this as my 1997-2003 Ford F-150 brake caliper repair kit?
Yes. The 1997-2003 Ford F-150 is among the listed applications, and this Carlson kit is cataloged for the rear brake calipers.
What is included in the Carlson 41164 kit?
The kit includes the boot and square-cut seals for the caliper. Carlson says these parts help the caliper work as designed during the apply and release cycle.
What does a brake caliper repair kit do?
It supplies the seals used to rebuild a caliper. The square-cut seal seals the piston bore and helps the piston retract on release, while the boot helps keep dirt and moisture out of the bore.
What signs suggest a caliper may need resealing?
Brake fluid seeping around the piston, a torn or split boot, or a caliper that drags and wears the pads unevenly are signs the caliper seals may need replacing.
What should I know before installing it?
Follow the vehicle service information for the caliper rebuild, and bleed the brake hydraulic system afterward. Resealing both rear calipers at the same time is recommended for balanced braking.
