Overview
The Baer Brakes D0792 is a rear set of Baer Claw ceramic brake pads for 1999–2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks, plus 2000–2002 Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon and Yukon XL 1500 models. It also fits 2006–2011 Cadillac DTS, 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500, and 2003–2005 Chevrolet Astro and GMC Safari.
The set holds 4 pads with a ceramic compound that the maker presents as long lasting and consistent, with minimal dust. Quick, easy break-in is part of the pitch, and the pads are offered for daily driving rather than hard use.
Key features
- OE replacement pads aimed at steady wear and minimal noise
- Premium high-friction ceramic compound
- Long pad life with low rotor wear
- Balance of performance and road-going comfort for everyday drivers
- Stainless steel abutment hardware included with most pads
- Pad shims and a mechanical pad wear sensor included
- Slotted pads with an attached wear indicator
Matching pads to rotors
Brake pads and rotors wear as a pair, so the condition of the rotors matters as much as the pad material. Smooth, evenly worn rotors help new pads bed in and settle to a consistent friction surface. Before fitting, measure rotor thickness against the minimum stamped on the rotor hat and replace it if it is below that figure. Glazed or scored faces should be resurfaced or replaced so the new pads are not working against an uneven surface.
Rear pads on full-size trucks often wear more slowly than the fronts, but the rear caliper slides still need to move freely. Clean the abutment surfaces, check the slide pins for corrosion, and apply the caliper-slide lubricant to the contact points only. Keep lubricant away from the friction surface of the pad.

Vehicle fitment
The D0792 fits these rear-axle applications: 2006–2011 Cadillac DTS; 2003–2005 Chevrolet Astro; 2002 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500; 1999–2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500; 2000–2002 Chevrolet Tahoe; 2003–2005 GMC Safari; 1999–2000 GMC Sierra 1500; 2000–2002 GMC Yukon; and 2000–2002 GMC Yukon XL 1500. Several of these applications require a single-piston rear caliper.
The 2001–2002 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 and the 2003 and later Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 are not covered by this pad. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Abutment clips, pad shims and mounting hardware come with the set, and the mechanical wear sensor is included with the pads. Inspect the rotors and caliper hardware before fitting, because worn rotors and sticking slides affect how new pads wear. Test the brakes at low speed after installation, since the break-in is quick and easy.
What’s included
The set contains 4 rear ceramic pads with abutment clips, pad shims, mounting hardware and a mechanical pad wear sensor.
Not included: Brake lubricant.
