Overview
The Baer Brakes D0477 is a set of Claw front brake pads for 4WD Jeep Wrangler YJ, TJ and LJ models, 1990–1999 Jeep Cherokee (XJ), 1990–1992 Jeep Comanche, 1994–1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ) with rear disc brakes, and the 1990 Jeep Wagoneer. Baer Brakes positions the Claw line as an OE-style replacement pad with a ceramic compound for owners who want steady stops, low dust and quiet operation.
Each set contains four front pads. The ceramic friction material is made for long pad life and low rotor wear. Stainless steel abutment and anti-rattle hardware is included with most pads, and the pads suit daily-driven trail rigs and street Jeeps.
Key features
- OE replacement front pads with consistent wear and performance
- Premium high-friction ceramic compound
- Long pad life with low rotor wear
- Minimal noise and dust in normal driving
- Stainless steel abutment and anti-rattle hardware included with most pads
- Slotted pad face for the front axle
Trail use and pad wear
Front pads on a 4WD Jeep see a mix of street driving, slow crawling and occasional hard stops on steep grades. Ceramic compounds handle this mix well for daily use, but mud and grit can work into the caliper and pad edges, so cleaning the caliper area after muddy trips is helpful.
Older Jeep brake systems often have caliper slide pins and bushings that have gone unserviced for years. Sticking hardware can cause one pad to wear faster than the other, so inspect and lubricate these parts whenever the pads are replaced.
Check pads at every tire rotation and look for uneven thickness between sides, a wear indicator touching the rotor, or a squeal under light braking. When changing pads, inspect the rotor for heat cracking and lips at the outer edge, and replace pads on both wheels of the axle together.

Vehicle fitment
The set fits the 1990–1999 Jeep Cherokee (XJ), the 1990–1992 Jeep Comanche, the 1994–1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee (ZJ), the 1990 Jeep Wagoneer, the 2004–2006 Jeep Wrangler (LJ), the 1997–2006 Jeep Wrangler (TJ) and the 1990–1995 Jeep Wrangler (YJ). Cherokee and Comanche fitment is for 4WD, and Grand Cherokee fitment is for vehicles with rear disc brakes.
The Wrangler JK (2007–2018), Wrangler JL, Grand Cherokee WJ and Liberty KJ are outside the covered models, as are years outside those shown above. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Abutment and anti-rattle hardware is included with most pads, so check the hardware in your box against your application before fitting. Because Grand Cherokee fitment applies to rear disc brakes, confirm your rear brakes before choosing this set. Replace pads in axle pairs so braking stays even side to side, and have brake work checked by a qualified technician if you are unsure of the installation.
What’s included
Each set includes four front brake pads, with stainless steel abutment clips included on most applications.
Not included: Brake lubricant.
