Product Line Details: Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers
The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line provides semi-assembled calipers that include essential components such as bleeder screws and abutment clips, but exclude mounting brackets and brake pads. This design allows for easier installation and maintenance while ensuring compatibility with specific vehicle models. The 141.65012 caliper benefits from this semi-loaded configuration, offering a balance between convenience and customization for Ford Aerostar, Bronco II, and Ranger owners.
Technical Specifications and Features
This floating disc brake caliper features a cast iron body for strength and heat resistance. The single phenolic piston, measuring 66 mm in diameter, reduces heat transfer to the brake fluid, helping to maintain braking efficiency. The caliper includes a bleeder screw with a 3/8"-24 thread size for proper brake system bleeding. The inlet fitting is a banjo type with a 3/8"-24 thread diameter, compatible with standard brake lines. Abutment clips are included to secure the brake pads, although the pads and mounting hardware are not part of this assembly.
Applications and Problem Solving

- Addresses brake fluid leakage issues by providing a new bleeder screw and piston seal

Installation Notes and Tips
- Verify compatibility with your specific Ford Aerostar, Bronco II, or Ranger model year before installation
