Details on Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers product line offers a semi-assembled solution that simplifies brake system maintenance and replacement. This line provides calipers that come with critical hardware such as mounting brackets and abutment clips, reducing installation time and ensuring proper fitment. The 141.45542 caliper is a floating type, which allows for self-alignment during braking, improving pad wear and braking efficiency. Its cast iron construction ensures durability under high heat and stress conditions typical in braking applications.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a single steel piston with a 42mm bore size, providing reliable hydraulic pressure application. The inlet thread size is M10x1.0, compatible with banjo and open fitting types, while the bleeder screw uses an M7x1.0 thread size, included for ease of brake fluid bleeding. The caliper comes in a gray finish and includes a mounting bracket and abutment clips, but does not include brake pads or mounting hardware bolts. The caliper casting numbers (1523; 4102; ad41-18; h) identify the specific manufacturing details for quality control.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Mazda 929 and MPV
• Restores proper brake hydraulic function and piston movement
• Addresses brake drag or uneven pad wear caused by faulty calipers
• Improves braking response and safety by ensuring proper caliper operation
• Facilitates brake system rebuilds requiring semi-loaded caliper assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires a mounting bracket, which is included with this caliper, but mounting hardware bolts are not provided and must be sourced separately. Ensure the brake pads are compatible with the friction material standard 10x.05530, as pads are not included. Proper bleeding of the brake system is necessary using the included bleeder screw to remove air and maintain hydraulic integrity. Verify inlet thread compatibility (M10x1.0) with your brake line fittings before installation.
