1. Product Description
The RIDEX Guide sleeve kit, brake caliper (1165G0020) is an essential braking system hardware restoration set manufactured by RIDEX. Comprising precision-machined slider pins, protective rubber dust boots, and specialized internal lubricant, its primary mechanical function is to allow the floating brake caliper housing to slide smoothly back and forth along the caliper carrier. This guarantees balanced hydraulic force distribution across both inner and outer brake pads, prevents uneven friction material wear, and ensures full pad release when braking pressure is removed.
