Overview
The Baer Brakes D0667 is a set of rear ceramic Claw brake pads for the 1995–2001 Ford Explorer, 2002–2003 Ford Explorer Sport, 1998–2002 Ford Ranger EV, and 1997–2001 Mercury Mountaineer. Each set holds four pads for the rear axle.
The Claw pad is an OE-style replacement that balances stopping power with quiet, low-dust operation for daily driving. The ceramic compound is designed for long pad life and low rotor wear. This set adds abutment clips and an attached wear indicator to the mounting hardware, and the pads are slotted.
Key features
- Ceramic friction compound for consistent wear and performance
- Low noise and dust for everyday driving
- Long pad life with low rotor wear
- Premium grade replacement pad in an OE-style design
- Slotted pad face with abutment clips and mounting hardware included
- Attached wear indicator
Checking wear on rear pads
On Explorer and Mountaineer models, rear pads are often checked less often than fronts, yet they still need routine attention. A pad with an attached wear indicator gives a warning sound before the lining is fully used, so listen for it on the test drive. Rear pads on these vehicles should be inspected alongside the rotors to catch uneven wear.
Ceramic pads generally produce less dust, which makes wear on the rotor face easier to see. Keep brake fluid at the correct level and check the calipers for smooth movement. Hardware with corrosion or stuck slide pins should be cleaned or replaced before new pads are fitted.
- Listen for the wear indicator sound
- Check the rotor surface for grooves
- Confirm caliper slides move freely

Vehicle fitment
The D0667 covers the rear axle of the 1995–2001 Ford Explorer, the 2002–2003 Ford Explorer Sport, the 1998–2002 Ford Ranger (EV), and the 1997–2001 Mercury Mountaineer.
The list does not include Ford Explorer years after 2003 or Mercury Mountaineer years after 2001, and it does not cover front-axle positions. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Abutment clips and mounting hardware come with the set, so no separate clips are needed for these pads. Brake lubricant is not included, so have a suitable lubricant ready for the caliper slide and pad contact points. Replace both rear pads together to keep braking even from side to side. Because a wear indicator is attached, check the pad lining during routine brake inspections. Brake work involves hydraulic and wheel-end parts, so have a qualified technician fit these pads if you are not experienced with brakes.
What’s included
Four rear brake pads per set, with abutment clips, mounting hardware and an attached wear indicator.
Not included: brake lubricant. Rotors are not part of this set.
