Wabco 12999704VT Pan Repair Kit

Description

The Repair Kit Pan 17 is a comprehensive solution designed for maintaining and restoring brake caliper functionality. This kit is used in brake systems to ensure optimal performance and safety. Manufactured by Wabco with MPN 12999704VT, this repair kit adheres to OE specifications, guaranteeing a precise fit and reliable operation. Its dimensions are 45 x 88 x 218 mm. This kit provides a cost-effective method for repairing calipers rather than full replacement, restoring them to factory standards for consistent braking power and improved driver confidence.

Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically lets you rebuild the part of your brake caliper that holds the piston. It comes with new seals, boots, and sometimes clips or pins. Those little rubber pieces, the seals and boots, are what keep brake fluid from leaking and keep dirt and moisture out. They allow the piston to move smoothly when you press the brake pedal. The kit doesn't fix the caliper itself if it's rusted or damaged, it just refreshes the parts inside that move and seal. Think of your brake caliper like a clamp that squeezes the rotor to slow the car down. Inside that caliper is a piston, and this kit rebuilds the housing for that piston. It's a core component of your braking system, right alongside your rotors, pads, and brake lines. It's not something you directly see working, it's all happening inside the caliper itself.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, those seals and boots degrade over time, especially with heat and exposure to the elements. When they go bad, you’ll likely notice if your brakes start to drag – meaning the car feels like it's slowing down even when you're not touching the pedal. You might also experience a spongy brake pedal, or even a complete loss of braking force on that wheel. Rebuilding the caliper with a kit like this is a lot cheaper than replacing the whole caliper, and gets things working like they should. We carry a lot of these at Fixparts Online, and it’s a common repair a lot of folks do themselves. It’s worth doing before a small leak turns into a bigger, more expensive problem.
