When a caliper on the Chevrolet Optra seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Optra keeps the brake pad in continuous contact with the rotor, wearing the pad unevenly and scoring the rotor surface. By the time the caliper on the Chevrolet Optra is identified as the fault, the pads are typically worn asymmetrically and the rotor is damaged. A caliper kit from GeoBrakes addresses every compromised component on your Chevrolet Optra together.
The kit for your Chevrolet Optra includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Optra, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Chevrolet Optra piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Optra caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Chevrolet Optra, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Optra, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Chevrolet Optra application.
A caliper kit is the right call for the Chevrolet Optra in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Optra are already compromised. During a high-mileage Optra overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Chevrolet Optra are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Optra brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Chevrolet Optra.
New OEM-specification calipers for the Chevrolet Optra are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Optra vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Chevrolet Optra housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Optra replacement applications.
Calipers for the Chevrolet Optra are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Optra are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Chevrolet Optra exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.
Should I replace both calipers on my Chevrolet Optra at the same time?
It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Chevrolet Optra has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Optra. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Optra caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.
Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Chevrolet Optra after installing a caliper kit?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Chevrolet Optra to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Optra must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Chevrolet Optra.
What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Chevrolet Optra kit?
A new caliper for the Chevrolet Optra has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Optra housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Chevrolet Optra applications.
