Description

Maintaining the integrity of the pneumatic braking system is crucial for heavy commercial vehicle safety. This repair kit is engineered to restore the sealing performance of the brake caliper, addressing common wear issues in high-duty cycles.

The Wabco MAXX 17 is the OE equivalent of the braking system components used in heavy-duty pneumatic disc brake assemblies. This kit facilitates the replacement of internal seals and boots to prevent air leakage and ensure the piston functions smoothly within the caliper housing. It is a vital solution for maintaining reliable braking force and preventing premature system failure.

For the workshop technician, this kit provides all necessary elements for a professional overhaul, such as piston seals and dust boots. Regular maintenance using high-strength components helps prevent external contaminants from affecting the internal piston movement and prevents air pressure loss.

The application of this kit should be performed by a qualified technician after a thorough inspection of the caliper body. It is ideal for addressing minor air leaks or worn seals where no structural damage to the cast part or piston cylinder surfaces exists.
