Details on Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers a semi-assembled solution that simplifies brake system maintenance and replacement. This product line includes essential components such as the mounting bracket, abutment clips, and bleeder screw, reducing the need for additional parts during installation. The 141.46520 caliper features a floating design with a single 45mm steel piston housed in a cast iron body, providing a balance of strength and heat dissipation. The gray color finish helps protect against corrosion, extending the caliper's service life. This caliper is designed specifically for the Mitsubishi Montero, ensuring proper fitment and reliable braking performance.

Technical Specifications and Features

The 141.46520 disc brake caliper includes a 10mm (M10x1.0) inlet thread diameter with a banjo-type open fitting, facilitating secure brake line connection. The bleeder screw has a 7mm (M7x1.0) thread size and is included for easy brake fluid bleeding. The caliper’s piston is made of steel with a diameter of 45mm (1.772 inches), optimized for consistent hydraulic pressure application. The floating caliper design allows for self-alignment with the brake rotor, improving pad wear and braking efficiency. Mounting hardware such as bolts is not included, but the necessary mounting bracket and abutment clips are supplied to ensure proper installation.

Common Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement of worn or damaged disc brake calipers on Mitsubishi Montero
• Resolving uneven brake pad wear due to caliper malfunction
• Addressing brake fluid leaks from faulty caliper seals or fittings
• Improving braking response and pedal feel by upgrading to a semi-loaded caliper
• Restoring proper brake system function after caliper corrosion or damage

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the mounting bracket included with the caliper is installed correctly, as it is required for proper fitment on the Mitsubishi Montero. Use compatible brake pads matching the Friction Materials Standards Institute pad number 10x.08680, as pads are not included. Verify the inlet thread size (M10x1.0) and bleeder screw thread size (M7x1.0) match your vehicle’s brake lines and bleeding tools. Since mounting hardware bolts are not included, retain or source the correct bolts for secure installation. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air and ensure optimal braking performance.
