Description

Overview

Trailer disc brake caliper guide pin bush kit major restores smooth sliding of BPW TSB series disc brake calipers on heavy trailers. This trailer disc brake caliper guide pin bush kit suits high load fleets that want reliable braking. It replaces worn guide pins and bushes so the caliper can float correctly and keep pad wear even. As a result, braking performance stays more consistent during repeated stops and long downhill runs.

Features

• Major service kit for BPW TSB disc brake calipers where guide pins and bushes need complete renewal.
• Secondly, it supports correct caliper movement, which helps reduce taper wear, brake drag and vibration.
• Additionally, the kit arrives as a matched set for one axle side to simplify workshop ordering and installation.
• Finally, it suits fleets that schedule in-depth brake overhauls as part of preventative maintenance programs.

Specifications and Materials

This trailer disc brake caliper guide pin bush kit major suits BPW TSB series disc brake calipers on 9 tonne trailer axles with ECO Plus hubs. Workshops use it when guide pins show corrosion, scoring or play and when bushes no longer support smooth sliding. Part number: FB2701. The kit typically uses hardened steel guide pins with matched precision bushes and high tensile fasteners to handle repeated heavy braking loads. In addition, the layout follows common BPW TSB caliper geometry so parts interpreters can match it easily to existing assemblies.

Compatibility and Fitment

This cross-reference listing means this part is a suitable replacement for the part numbers and applications shown. Some changes in installation may be required. TSB 3709, TSB 4309. Before installing this trailer disc brake caliper guide pin bush kit major, technicians should confirm the caliper type from the BPW identification plate and compare it with workshop documentation. Then they should follow BPW torque values and use a suitable high temperature brake grease on sliding and sealing surfaces.

Compliance and Safety

Brake caliper work is safety critical, so only suitably trained personnel should install this trailer disc brake caliper guide pin bush kit major. Always secure the trailer, support the axle and isolate air and electrical systems before starting any brake work. Furthermore, technicians should clean all sliding faces, remove corrosion and replace damaged dust boots or seals during the same service. After installation, they must test brake performance, check for noise or drag and verify results with a roller brake test or controlled road check.

Trailer Applications

Fleets use this kit on heavy haul and general freight trailers that run BPW TSB disc brake axles. Typical applications include curtain-siders, tankers, tippers and refrigerated vans that work at 9 tonne axle ratings. In addition, operators who complete major services on a fixed schedule can refresh both guide pins and bushes together instead of replacing single parts reactively. Consequently, the trailer disc brake caliper guide pin bush kit major helps keep left and right brake performance closer together, which supports roadworthy checks and internal fleet safety standards.
