How to properly remove and install a brake caliper without damaging the brake hose on Volkswagen Jetta?

When you are removing the caliper to gain access to other parts, do not disconnect the hose rather hang the caliper using a bit of wire such that the brake hose is not damaged. First, it is important to loosen the front or rear wheel bolts, elevate the vehicle, and place it safely on jackstands and block the opposite end wheels. Take out the front wheel or rear wheel. To remove the cable of the parking brake lever and the bracket of rear caliper, look after pushing the lever in by hand so that the ball end of the cable could be worked off, and then pull the cable off the bracket with a box-end wrench or pliers to compress the tabs holding them on. To access a front caliper, or ZOH BIR 38 rear caliper, loosen the banjo fitting bolt and dis-attach the brake hose connector to the caliper, being careful not to lose the sealing washers, or lose all the open fittings to fluid loss and contamination. In the case of a Cl 38 rear caliper loosen the brake line fitting nut in the brake hose fitting with a flare nut wrench, then screw the clip holding the brake hose to its bracket open and disconnect the hose by twisting off the fitting to avoid fluid leakages. Lastly, unscrew the caliper guide pins or mounting bolts and unscrew the caliper. The opposite to removal is installation; in the case of a front caliper, apply new sealing washers on each side of the inlet brake hose fitting and attach the fasteners to the required torque. Bleed the brake system after it is installed, inspect the leaks of the hose attachment, pump the brake pedal multiple times prior to driving and test the brakes thoroughly before it is reintroduced to the regular use again.

Volkswagen Jetta Brake Caliper

The Volkswagen Jetta Brake Caliper transforms hydraulic pressure into the clamping force, which pushes the pads against the rotor, pushing the car to a safe and controlled stop. The master cylinder fluid causes the pistons to push the pads back in the iron or phenolic piston housing, resulting in friction that decelerates the wheel. The cast iron bodies on most factory units of Volkswagen models are equipped with steel or phenolic pistons, dust boots, bleeder screws, and a hose port that supplies the brake fluid. There are two major designs over the years. A floating Brake Caliper is mounted on the inboard side with one or more pistons and slides on lubricated slide pins as the piston forces it inward, a design that is simple and cheap to implement and commonly applied on daily-driven vehicles. The fixed Brake Caliper is a rigidly mounted part fitting the rotor on both sides and biting it with opposing pistons to provide more equal pressure and performance, although at increased complexity and cost. In other generations of the Jetta, rear assemblies have a screw-type vehicle parking brake, and thus a special tool is required to retract the piston during pad replacement. Sticking slide pins or cut seals may cause pulling, dragging, or uneven pad wear, and regular visual inspection by Volkswagen owners will reveal when leaks occur, when boots are damaged, or when pistons are seized before the power loss is noticed and will extend the life of their Volkswagen braking system.

Choose OEM Brake Caliper for superior quality and long-lasting durability. They match the Volkswagen's factory specifications exactly and pass strict quality control. If you plan to replace Brake Caliper on your Jetta, put OEM at the top of your list. You'll get the right fit, reliable performance, and peace of mind. We stock an extensive inventory of genuine Volkswagen Jetta parts. It is easy to find what you need. You will love our competitive prices that help you save. No more hassle with returns or guesswork.
