Lincoln Blackwood Disc Brake Caliper Kit in US

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

What Is Included in the Lincoln Blackwood Disc Brake Caliper Kit

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

When a Caliper Kit Is the Correct Service Choice for the Lincoln Blackwood

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

New vs. Remanufactured Caliper for the Lincoln Blackwood

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

Signs the Caliper Kit on Your Lincoln Blackwood Is Due

• Brake drag on the Lincoln Blackwood with a wheel that runs hot after normal driving
• Soft or sinking Blackwood brake pedal caused by a caliper piston seal leak
• Brake fluid visible around the Lincoln Blackwood caliper piston boot
• Persistent metallic dragging noise from one Blackwood corner not explained by worn pads

Frequently Asked Questions - Lincoln Blackwood Disc Brake Caliper Kits

Should I replace both calipers on my Lincoln Blackwood at the same time?

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

Do I need to bleed the brakes on my Lincoln Blackwood after installing a caliper kit?

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

What is the difference between a new and remanufactured caliper in the Lincoln Blackwood kit?

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