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 abutment clips and bleeder screws, but exclude pads and mounting hardware. This design allows for easier installation and maintenance while maintaining high standards of quality and fitment. The 141.43101 model fits within this line, providing a balance between ready-to-install convenience and customization for specific brake pad choices.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a floating design with a single piston measuring 48mm (1.89 inches) in diameter, made from steel for durability. The caliper body is cast iron, which offers excellent resistance to heat and wear. The inlet fitting is a banjo type with an M10x1.0 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines. The included bleeder screw also has an M10x1.0 thread size, facilitating proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance. Abutment clips are included to ensure proper pad alignment, though mounting hardware and brake pads are not included with this part.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement of worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Geo Metro vehicles
• Resolving brake drag or uneven pad wear caused by faulty calipers
• Addressing brake fluid leaks from caliper piston seals

• Upgrading to a reliable semi-loaded caliper for easier brake system maintenance

Installation Notes and Tips

When installing the Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Caliper 141.43101, ensure the brake system is properly bled using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain braking efficiency. Since mounting hardware and brake pads are not included, use compatible parts specific to the Geo Metro model. Verify the inlet fitting matches your brake line specifications (M10x1.0 banjo fitting). Proper torque specifications should be followed for mounting bolts and brake line connections to ensure safety and performance.
