Element 3; Element3 Rotors, Brake Pads and Calipers
Element3 brake kits by Raybestos are perfect for drivers looking for increased protection against rust related braking problems. Built to endure the harshest weather conditions, each Element3 kit includes a pair of Element3 Enhanced Hybrid Technology brake pads, a pair of Element3 coated rotors and a pair of Element3 new calipers.
Features & Benefits:
Rotors feature a proprietary finishing technology that coats each rotor’s entire surface, including the cooling vanes for optimal airflow and cooling
Zinc plating on cast iron housings and brackets delivers superior caliper corrosion resistance in the harshest of elements
Calipers feature EPDM70 rubber components for superior heat resistance, performance and durability
Enhanced Hybrid Technology pads feature the best attributes of ceramic and semi-metallic all in one pad
Pads offer unparalleled performance and reliability and improved pad wear and durability
Pads include multi-layer shims and stainless steel hardware (where applicable) for maximum noise damping
Installation Tips
Suspend the caliper from the suspension using a Caliper Hanger to prevent damage to the brake hose
Before installing the rotor, clean the hub face with a Wire Brush to remove rust buildup and apply Copper Anti Seize to prevent future buildup. Rust or debris on the hub can cause rotor runout and lead to wheel vibration
Apply brake lube to caliper pins, clips, the edges of the brake pad mounting tabs, and the back side of the brake pads to ensure noise free braking. DO NOT apply lube to the friction side of the brake pads
Use a Caliper Piston Compressor to retract the caliper piston(s) and make room for the new, thicker brake pads
Open the master cylinder reservoir during piston compression to prevent pressure buildup. Keep an eye on the Brake Fluid level to ensure it does not overflow
After the job is complete, pump the brake pedal several times to push the caliper piston back up against the pads to ensure proper brake function
