Product Line Details: Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers a balance between fully loaded and basic caliper assemblies. This semi-loaded caliper includes essential hardware such as the mounting bracket, abutment clips, and bleeder screw, but excludes brake pads and pad wear sensors. This configuration allows for flexibility in brake system maintenance and replacement, particularly suited for BMW X5 owners seeking a reliable and durable caliper upgrade.

Technical Description and Features

This floating disc brake caliper features a cast iron body that provides structural integrity and heat dissipation during braking. The single piston design, with a diameter of 42mm (1.654 inches), is constructed from steel to withstand high pressure and temperature. The caliper uses a banjo-type inlet fitting with an M10x1.5 thread diameter, facilitating secure hydraulic line connection. The included mounting bracket and abutment clips simplify installation, while the bleeder screw with M10x1.0 thread size allows for proper brake fluid bleeding. The gray finish offers corrosion resistance, extending the caliper’s service life.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on BMW X5
• Restores proper brake pressure and pedal feel
• Addresses brake fluid leakage issues at the caliper
• Improves braking consistency and safety
• Supports maintenance of brake system integrity without replacing pads

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires a mounting bracket, which is included with this caliper. Note that brake pads and mounting hardware bolts are not included and must be sourced separately. Ensure the brake system is properly bled using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain hydraulic pressure. Verify compatibility with BMW X5 models before installation. Proper torque specifications should be followed for mounting bolts and hydraulic fittings.
