Honda Ridgeline Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

When a caliper on the Honda Ridgeline seizes, leaks, or drags, the damage does not stop at the caliper. A partially seized caliper on your Ridgeline 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 Honda Ridgeline 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 Honda Ridgeline together.

What Is Included in the Honda Ridgeline Disc Brake Caliper Kit

The kit for your Honda Ridgeline includes the disc brake caliper at the correct left or right hand specification for the Ridgeline, either new OEM-spec or quality remanufactured to the Honda Ridgeline piston dimension and hydraulic pressure rating, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation matched to the Ridgeline caliper and rotor specification, caliper hardware with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the Honda Ridgeline, brake lubricant for correct pin and shim installation on your Ridgeline, and copper washers or banjo bolt seals for the brake hose connection where required by the Honda Ridgeline application.

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Honda Ridgeline

A caliper kit is the right call for the Honda Ridgeline in three specific situations. After a seized or dragging caliper, because the pads and often the rotor on your Ridgeline are already compromised. During a high-mileage Ridgeline overhaul at 150,000 kilometres or more, because caliper piston seals and guide pin boots on the Honda Ridgeline are typically at or beyond their service life. After a brake fluid leak at the caliper, because fluid contamination of the Ridgeline brake pad renders the friction material permanently ineffective on your Honda Ridgeline.

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Honda Ridgeline

New OEM-specification calipers for the Honda Ridgeline are manufactured from fresh materials with no prior service history, the strongest choice for Ridgeline vehicles in high-corrosion environments. Remanufactured calipers use original Honda Ridgeline housings rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new units at a lower price point for most Ridgeline replacement applications.

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Honda Ridgeline Is Due

• Honda Ridgeline pulling to one side during braking, one caliper applying more force than the other
• One brake pad on your Ridgeline worn significantly more than its pair on the same axle
• Brake drag on the Honda Ridgeline with a wheel that runs hot after normal driving
• Soft or sinking Ridgeline brake pedal caused by a caliper piston seal leak
• Brake fluid visible around the Honda Ridgeline caliper piston boot
• Persistent metallic dragging noise from one Ridgeline corner not explained by worn pads

Frequently Asked Questions - Honda Ridgeline Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Honda Ridgeline at the same time?

It is strongly recommended. If one caliper on the Honda Ridgeline has seized or leaked, the caliper on the opposite side has experienced the same conditions and age on your Ridgeline. Replacing both restores balanced, even braking and eliminates the risk of the second Ridgeline caliper failing shortly after the first is replaced.

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Honda Ridgeline after installing a caliper kit?

Yes. Opening the hydraulic circuit on the Honda Ridgeline to install the new caliper allows air to enter. After installation, the brake circuit on the Ridgeline must be bled at the caliper bleeder screw to purge all air and restore a firm, consistent brake pedal on your Honda Ridgeline.

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Honda Ridgeline kit?

A new caliper for the Honda Ridgeline has no prior service history and is the stronger choice for high-corrosion environments. A remanufactured caliper uses an original Ridgeline housing rebuilt with new pistons, seals, and boots, performing identically to new at a lower price point for most Honda Ridgeline applications.
