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