Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers Product Line

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line provides semi-assembled calipers that include key components such as pistons and seals, but exclude pads and mounting hardware. This product line is designed to offer a balance between ease of installation and customization, allowing technicians to pair the caliper with specific brake pads suited to their application. The 141.61020 caliper exemplifies this approach, delivering a robust cast iron body and essential hardware like bleeder screws and abutment clips for dependable brake system maintenance.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake caliper features a 60mm piston diameter made from steel, ensuring consistent hydraulic pressure application. The caliper casting is constructed from cast iron, providing structural integrity and heat resistance. It uses a floating caliper design with a trailing axle configuration, suitable for the rear brakes of Ford Mustang models. The inlet fitting is a banjo type with an M10x1.5 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines. The included bleeder screw has a 3/8"-24 thread size, facilitating proper brake fluid bleeding during installation or maintenance. Abutment clips are included to secure brake pads, although pads and mounting hardware are not part of this assembly.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement of worn or damaged rear disc brake calipers on Ford Mustang
• Restoring proper hydraulic pressure and brake response
• Addressing brake fluid leaks from caliper piston seals
• Eliminating uneven brake pad wear due to caliper malfunction
• Upgrading to a durable cast iron caliper for improved longevity

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure compatibility with your specific Ford Mustang model before installation. This caliper does not include brake pads or mounting hardware, so these components must be sourced separately. Properly torque the M10x1.5 inlet fitting and verify the bleeder screw is securely installed to prevent fluid leaks. Use the included abutment clips to correctly position brake pads. Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation to remove air and ensure optimal braking performance.
