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

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line focuses on delivering semi-assembled calipers that simplify brake system repairs. This product line provides a balance between fully loaded and bare calipers by including essential components such as abutment clips and bleeder screws, while excluding pads and mounting hardware. The 141.42012 caliper benefits from this design approach, offering a reliable replacement part that integrates easily into existing brake systems.

Technical Specifications and Features

This Centric caliper features a fixed design with two steel pistons, each measuring 54 mm in diameter, ensuring even pressure distribution on brake pads. The caliper body is made from cast iron, providing durability and resistance to heat generated during braking. It includes a bleeder screw with an M10x1.0 thread size for effective brake fluid bleeding and maintenance. The inlet thread size matches the bleeder screw at M10-1.00, facilitating compatibility with standard brake lines. Abutment clips are included to secure the pads properly, although pads and mounting hardware are not part of this assembly.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged fixed disc brake calipers
• Restores braking efficiency in vehicles experiencing uneven pad wear
• Addresses brake fluid leakage issues by providing a new bleeder screw
• Improves brake pedal feel by ensuring proper piston operation
• Suitable for vehicles requiring a 54 mm piston diameter caliper

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.42012, ensure compatibility with your vehicle’s brake system, particularly the inlet and bleeder screw thread sizes (M10x1.0). Since mounting hardware and brake pads are not included, these components must be sourced separately. Properly torque all mounting bolts and bleed the brake system thoroughly to remove air and maintain optimal braking performance. Use the included abutment clips to secure pads and verify piston movement before final assembly.
