GeoBrakes stocks disc brake caliper kits confirmed to fit the Gmc Caballero, pairing a replacement caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Caballero with matched brake pads, caliper hardware, and in many cases a new rotor, so the entire brake corner on your Gmc Caballero is restored in a single service. Every kit is confirmed for the Gmc Caballero exact year, make, model, axle, and side, ships with a 100% fitment guarantee and full manufacturer warranty, and qualifies for free delivery on orders over $99.
When a caliper on the Gmc Caballero seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Caballero 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 Gmc Caballero 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 Gmc Caballero together.
The kit for your Gmc Caballero includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Caballero, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Gmc Caballero piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Caballero caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Gmc Caballero, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Caballero, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Gmc Caballero application.
A caliper kit is the right call for the Gmc Caballero in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Caballero are already compromised. During a high-mileage Caballero overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Gmc Caballero are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Caballero brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Gmc Caballero.
New OEM-specification calipers for the Gmc Caballero are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Caballero vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Gmc Caballero housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Caballero replacement applications.
Calipers for the Gmc Caballero are the most position-specific brake component in the catalogue. Left and right calipers for the Caballero are not interchangeable. Our vehicle selector confirms the correct caliper kit for the Gmc Caballero exact year, axle position, and left or right side before purchase.
Should I replace both calipers on my Gmc Caballero at the same time?
It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Gmc Caballero has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Caballero. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Caballero caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.
Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Gmc Caballero after installing a caliper kit?
Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Gmc Caballero to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Caballero must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Gmc Caballero.
What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Gmc Caballero kit?
A new caliper for the Gmc Caballero has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Caballero housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Gmc Caballero applications.
