Brake Caliper Repair Kit: What It Contains and How to Cross-Reference
A brake caliper repair kit restores a floating caliper: slider pins, boots, seals, piston boot and grease. Learn kit contents and cross-referencing.
A brake caliper repair kit (also called a caliper rebuild kit or slider pin guide kit) restores the wear parts inside a floating brake caliper. Instead of replacing the whole caliper, the kit replaces the guides, boots, seals and piston boot that wear out with age and corrosion. It is the standard solution for repair shops, aftermarket distributors and parts rebuilders.
Typical Kit Contents
A complete caliper repair kit from Yuhuan Shibao covers: guide pins (upper and lower), pin boots, caliper seal, piston boot and installation grease. The exploded diagram of the kit maps exactly to the caliper body and bracket, the piston, the seal parts and the slider pin guide kits of a floating caliper.
How to Cross-Reference a Repair Kit
Use the OE reference of the vehicle caliper. If a kit supplier prints a third-party catalogue code (for example a FEBEST code), treat it as a third-party cross-reference - not an OE number - and confirm it against the OE reference. Examples from the Shibao catalogue: Toyota Noah ZRR70 (2008-) caliper pins use 47715-33340; Nissan X-Trail T31 (2007-2013) uses 44141-JA01A; Honda CR-V RE3 (2007-2012) uses 43235-SWW-G01.
Ordering a Kit
Tell the supplier the vehicle model and year, or the OEM number of the fitted pin, and the matching kit can be confirmed. Shibao supports mixed-reference orders and trial orders; MOQ varies by product and reference - send your part numbers and quantities for confirmation.
Why Rebuild Instead of Replace
Worn slide pins cause brake drag, one-sided pad wear, pulling and noise. A repair kit restores the caliper in one service job at a fraction of the replacement cost, which is why rebuilders and fleets keep repair kits in stock.
