Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers Product Line

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line provides a balance between fully loaded and basic caliper assemblies. This product line includes essential components such as the caliper body, piston, bleeder screw, mounting bracket, and abutment clips, allowing for easier installation while giving users the flexibility to reuse existing brake pads and hardware if desired. The 141.62596 caliper exemplifies this approach by delivering a semi-loaded solution tailored for performance and durability.

Technical Details and Features

This disc brake caliper features a single 42mm aluminum piston designed to provide consistent braking force while reducing unsprung weight. The floating caliper design allows for self-alignment during braking, improving pad wear and braking efficiency. The caliper’s inlet thread diameter is M10x1.0, compatible with banjo-style fittings, and the bleeder screw also uses an M10x1.0 thread size, facilitating standard brake fluid bleeding procedures. The gray finish offers corrosion resistance and a clean appearance. Included mounting brackets and abutment clips ensure proper caliper positioning and secure attachment to the vehicle’s brake system.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or damaged calipers on Cadillac Corvette and Chevrolet XLR
• Addresses brake drag or uneven pad wear caused by faulty caliper pistons
• Resolves brake fluid leaks from damaged bleeder screws or caliper bodies
• Improves braking response and pedal feel by restoring caliper function

Installation Notes and Tips

• Ensure compatibility with your specific model year of Cadillac Corvette or Chevrolet XLR before installation

• Bleed the brake system thoroughly after installation using the included bleeder screw
• Re-use existing brake pads and hardware if in good condition, as pads are not included
