Brake Masters, Brake Calipers, Brake Hoses and Lines and Wheel Cylinders from JC Whitney provide security and enhance your vehicle brake performance. All these Brake Hardware help reduce stopping distances and are vital for the smooth functioning of the Braking System.

Brake Calipers are non-rotational clamps used in Disc Brake Systems while Wheel Cylinders are used in Drum Brake Systems and are both vital for good brake action. Caliper pistons move Brake Pads while Wheel Cylinder pistons move Brake Shoes. When you release the brake pedal, the Caliper piston seal retracts pulling the Brake Pads off the Rotor surface. This makes the Brake Shoes force the wheel cylinder pistons back to their resting position to bring your vehicle to a halt.

Brake Calipers and Brake Caliper Repair Kits include piston seals and boots to improve caliper functioning. Brake Calipers are built to maintain pad-to-rotor contact even as Brake pads wear with time. All Brake components from our assortment are made from durable high-quality materials that you can install in a jiffy!

Our extensive collection of Brake Masters, Brake Calipers, Brake Lines and Wheel Cylinders at JC Whitney includes Brake Calipers, Replacement Brake Hoses, Stainless Steel Brake Hose Kits, Braided Stainless Steel Brake Line Kits, Master Cylinder with Billet Reservoirs, Master Cylinder Covers, Billet Aluminum Brake Reservoir Covers and Brake Power Boosters.

Brake Calipers

Brake Calipers are assemblies of Brake Pads and Pistons. Increase in Brake fluid pressure moves these pistons outward and forces the Brake Pads to rub against the Rotor surface bringing your vehicle to a halt. When you release foot pressure from the Brake pedal, the Caliper piston seal retracts, pulling the Brake Pads off the rotor surface.

Brake Calipers are large, hydraulic, non-rotational clamps used in the Disc Brake System. They come with one or more pistons made from aluminum or chrome-plated iron. Brake Calipers from JC Whitney are machined to stringent specifications and are complete with all the emergency brake brackets for maximum braking performance for your vehicle.

These Brake Calipers have corrosion resistant zinc chromate plating that ensures improved quality and extended life. They include copper washers, anti-rattle clips, mounting bolts, friction guide pins and caliper bracket grommets. They come fully assembled and with all the necessary hardware and detailed instructions for easy installation.

Caliper Pistons are self-adjusting and the caliper piston seal maintains appropriate pad-to-rotor contact as the pads wear. They come with rust resistant coating and feature top quality O-rings, Seals, slides, boots and lubrication. You can also go for Brake Caliper Repair Kits that include Caliper pistons, seals and boots.

Brake Hoses & Lines

Brake Hoses and Brake Line kits from JC Whitney are sets of flexible Brake tubes with metal ends that transmit the brake fluid from the master cylinder to your vehicle wheels. As the brake fluid in your vehicle gets hot, it exerts pressure on the brake lines and with time, they bulge making the brake pedal softer.

Rubber Brake Hoses are more flexible and are used at the front wheels and the steer. Stainless steel brake lines are preferred over other metal ones as they are corrosion resistant and have extra strength and durability to withstand pressure. A Brake Line replacement for your vehicle helps firm up your old Brake pedal to guarantee faster stops and trouble-free braking for your vehicle.

Extended Length Braided Stainless Steel Brake Line Kits are specially designed for your Trucks. These Brake Lines do not swell even under increased pressure from larger tires to ensure a more positive response. You can also go for Braided Stainless Steel Brake Line Kits for your VWs, Cars and Jeeps® that will not expand or become mushy like rubber brake lines. These Brake Line Kits are easy to install come with special end fittings and brackets that ensure a perfect fit.

We also stock Replacement Brake Hoses and Replacement Brake Line Kits for your VW, Classic Tube Replacement Brake Line Kits, Custom Formed Complete Stainless Steel Brake Line Kits for your GM Muscle Cars, Jeep® CJ and Wranglers and Stainless Steel Brake Hose Kits.

Master Cylinders

Master Cylinders are highly reliable components of your vehicle Braking system and are located in the engine compartment in front of the driver's seat. A standard Master Cylinder houses two separate cylinders, each handling two wheels of your vehicle. This makes the Cylinder failsafe and ensures that your vehicle stops even if one side fails or a brake fluid leak occurs in one.

Master Cylinders are connected to the wheels through the Brake Lines and Hoses and help in displacing the Brake fluid pressure to the rest of the Brake system. When the brake pedal is applied, pistons in the master cylinder move and force the pressurized brake fluid out through the steel Brake Lines and flexible reinforced rubber Brake Hoses.

Master Cylinders from JC Whitney are manufactured to exact original equipment specifications and are made from durable high-quality materials. You can also get Master Cylinder Covers that make perfect replacement for old and damaged covers. These chromed covers are available in different sizes of your choice.

Brake Power Boosters increase brake pedal force and assist in faster braking. Brake master cylinder covers and brake reservoir covers help dress up your engine area. JC Whitney also stocks Replacement Dune Buggy Brake Master Cylinders, Master Cylinder with Billet Reservoirs and Billet Aluminum Brake Reservoir Covers.
