Description

Repair Kit 456 is a comprehensive solution designed for the maintenance and repair of brake calipers within brake control systems. This kit is intended for use in vehicles requiring brake caliper service. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 12999147VT, this repair kit ensures OE specification performance, restoring braking efficiency and extending the lifespan of the brake system. It provides a reliable and cost-effective method for addressing common brake caliper issues, ensuring optimal stopping power and driver safety.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically covers everything you need to rebuild your brake calipers. It includes new piston seals, dust boots, maybe some new clips and bolts – the little rubber bits and hardware that wear out inside the caliper itself. It doesn’t include the caliper itself, just the parts to refresh the existing one. Think of it like giving your caliper a tune – up instead of replacing the whole thing. Your brake caliper is what squeezes the brake pads against the rotor to actually stop the car. This kit keeps those calipers working smoothly and efficiently. The seals keep the brake fluid from leaking, and the dust boots keep dirt and grime out. Without those parts functioning properly, you lose braking power, and that's obviously not good.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, if you notice a spongy brake pedal, or maybe your car pulls to one side when you brake, or even a brake warning light, a failing caliper is a common culprit. Sometimes you’ll notice fluid leaking around the caliper, too. Replacing these parts instead of the whole caliper can save you a good chunk of money. It’s preventative maintenance, really. If you catch it early, you avoid bigger, more expensive problems down the road.
