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

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers semi-assembled calipers that include key components such as brackets and abutment clips, reducing installation time. This product line focuses on providing durable cast iron calipers with steel pistons and necessary hardware like bleeder screws, while excluding pads and mounting bolts. The 141.42082 caliper fits within this line, delivering a balance of quality materials and semi-loaded convenience for Infiniti brake system maintenance.

Technical Specifications and Features

This floating disc brake caliper features a cast iron body designed to withstand high temperatures and mechanical stress. It uses two steel pistons, each with a diameter of 45mm (1.772 inches), to apply even pressure on brake pads. The caliper includes a bleeder screw with an M10x1.0 thread size for efficient brake fluid bleeding. The inlet fitting is a banjo type with a 10mm thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines. Mounting hardware such as the bracket and abutment clips are included, though mounting bolts and brake pads are not part of this assembly.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Infiniti M45 and Q45
• Addresses uneven brake pad wear due to piston malfunction
• Resolves brake fluid leakage from caliper body or bleeder screw
• Improves braking response by restoring proper caliper function
• Supports brake system rebuilds requiring semi-loaded caliper assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with Infiniti M45 and Q45 models before installation. The caliper requires a mounting bracket, which is included, but mounting bolts must be sourced separately. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain braking efficiency. Verify inlet fitting thread size (M10x1.0) matches existing brake lines. Abutment clips are pre-installed to secure brake pads properly.
