Frequently asked questions

What does the SMC500240 rear brake caliper do?

The SMC500240 rear brake caliper houses the hydraulic pistons that clamp the brake pads onto the rear brake disc, generating braking force at the rear axle. It mounts over the disc on the left-hand side and works on vehicles with or without ABS.

How do I confirm this caliper fits my Discovery 1 or Range Rover Classic?

Fitment depends on axle number. On Discovery 1 (1989-1998) this rear LH caliper fits from axle no. 28S44172D or 32S2119B onwards; on Range Rover Classic it fits from axle no. 34S16422C or 37S08651B onwards. It also fits Defender 90 up to 2016. Check your axle number to confirm.

What are the signs a rear brake caliper needs replacing?

Common signs include the caliper piston seizing, fluid leaks at the piston seal, or uneven rear pad wear. A sticking rear caliper drags the pad on the disc, which can cause overheating or a pull under braking. Typically replaced when the piston no longer retracts cleanly.

Is SMC500240 the same as STC1265?

STC1265 is listed as an alternative cross-reference for this rear LH caliper, so the two interchange for the same application. This unit is an OEM part made by AP Driveline. Confirm the side (rear left-hand) and your axle number when matching against either code.

Can a rear brake caliper be fitted at home?

Fitting a rear caliper is a moderate DIY job if you're comfortable with brake work. It typically needs basic hand tools to unbolt the caliper and disconnect the brake hose, then the brake circuit must be bled to remove air. Brake work is safety-critical, so work carefully.
