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

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers a semi-assembled solution that includes the caliper body, pistons, and seals, but excludes pads and mounting hardware. This approach allows for easier installation and maintenance while maintaining high standards of material quality and fitment accuracy. The 141.44174 caliper benefits from this design philosophy, providing a durable cast iron construction and precise piston fitment for Toyota Tacoma brake systems.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a fixed design with four steel pistons, each measuring approximately 1.693 inches in diameter, ensuring even pressure distribution across the brake pads. The caliper body is made from cast iron, offering robust resistance to heat and wear. It includes a bleeder screw with M10-1.00 thread size for effective brake fluid bleeding and maintenance. The inlet fitting supports both banjo and open types with a 10 mm thread diameter, facilitating compatibility with various brake line configurations. Abutment clips are included to secure the pads properly, although mounting hardware and brake pads are not part of this assembly.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged brake calipers on Toyota Tacoma models
• Addresses uneven brake pad wear due to piston malfunction
• Resolves brake fluid leakage issues by providing a new bleeder screw and seals
• Improves braking stability with a fixed caliper design and multiple pistons
• Suitable for restoring braking performance after caliper corrosion or damage

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires removal of the old caliper and proper alignment with the brake rotor. Since mounting hardware and brake pads are not included, ensure these components are inspected and replaced if necessary. The included bleeder screw facilitates brake fluid bleeding; use the M10-1.00 thread size specifications for compatibility. Abutment clips are pre-installed to assist with pad retention. Verify inlet fitting type (banjo or open) matches your brake line setup before installation.
