Details on Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers

The Centric Premium Semi-Loaded Disc Brake Calipers line offers a semi-assembled solution that includes the caliper body, pistons, mounting bracket, abutment clips, and bleeder screw, but excludes brake pads and mounting hardware. This design simplifies installation while allowing flexibility for brake pad selection. The caliper casting is made from cast iron, providing strength and heat resistance necessary for demanding braking conditions. The phenolic pistons reduce heat transfer to the brake fluid, helping to maintain consistent braking performance. The floating caliper type with two pistons ensures even pad wear and reliable stopping power.

Installation Notes and Tips

Installation requires removal of the old caliper and proper mounting of the included bracket and abutment clips. Since brake pads and mounting hardware are not included, ensure you have compatible pads and bolts before beginning installation. The banjo inlet fitting and bleeder screw use a 3/8"-24 thread size, so compatible brake lines and tools are necessary. Bleeding the brake system after installation is essential to remove air and maintain braking efficiency. Verify the caliper is installed on the trailing axle side as specified.
