Caliper Remanufacturing
|
After complete inspection, and identification, each part is disassembled and all rubber seals, boots and hardware are discarded. Each reusable component is inspected. IE Pistons, Guide Bolts. These components are completely cleaned and an appropriate finish is applied to ensure maximum life. |

| After tear-down all caliper cores are burned for 30 minutes at a temperature of over 500 degrees. |
By raising the temperature of the calipers to such levels, any residual oil, grease, brake fluid etc is burned away, leaving only a clean caliper body. |
|
After the caliper cores return to a working temperature, they are then put into industrial shot blaster. Parts are then tumble blasted with steel shot for 20 minutes. This further cleans any rust or scale left on the calipers. Parts leave the shot blaster as clean as a new part from the foundry.

|
After shot-blasting, all Calipers are treated with an anti-corrosion finish. This Aquious based solution prevents rust and preserves shelf life.

|
Calipers are then inspected before they are sent for reassembly |
|
|
Every threaded port or bleeder hole has the threads chased to eliminate cross threading during installation. This process also ensures leak free performance for the life of the caliper.
|
 |
| All bores are brushed and thoroughly cleaned to ensure proper fitment and performance of the new boot and seal. |  |
 |
| New boot and seal are installed using appropriate lubricant and according to original manufacturing specifications. |  |
After assembly EVERY CALIPER is tested on Centric’s custom designed pressure tester. No caliper gets packaged without first getting the green light from our machines. This ensures that Centric Calipers will work to original specifications right out of the box.

 |
|
After receiving the green light from our testing equipment, all caliper identities are confirmed and then they are boxed, labeled and shipped.
