Details on Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers product line offers a balance between fully loaded and basic caliper assemblies. This line provides essential components such as the caliper body, piston, mounting bracket, and bleeder screw, allowing for easier installation and maintenance. The 141.42513 caliper is a floating type, which means it moves laterally to apply even pressure on the brake pads, improving pad wear and braking efficiency. The caliper’s cast iron construction ensures durability under high heat and stress conditions typical in braking systems.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a 38mm diameter steel piston that delivers consistent hydraulic pressure. The inlet thread diameter is M10x1.0, compatible with standard brake lines using banjo or open fittings. The caliper includes abutment clips and a mounting bracket, but does not come with brake pads or mounting hardware bolts. The bleeder screw is included and has an M10x1.0 thread size, facilitating proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance. The gray finish and casting numbers (32; k38r) help identify the part and ensure correct fitment.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged front or rear disc brake calipers on Nissan 240SX
• Addresses uneven brake pad wear caused by sticking or seized calipers
• Resolves brake fluid leaks from damaged piston seals or caliper bodies
• Improves braking response and pedal feel by restoring proper caliper function
• Suitable for restoring braking system reliability after accident damage or corrosion

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the mounting bracket is properly secured as it is required for installation. Since mounting hardware bolts are not included, reuse existing bolts or acquire new ones matching OEM specifications. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain hydraulic pressure. Verify inlet fitting compatibility with your brake lines, as this caliper supports both banjo and open fittings with M10x1.0 threads. Check for proper piston movement and caliper float before completing installation.
