Overview
The Baer Brakes 31264-020 is a set of two rear Claw performance rotors for 1998 to 2007 Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX470 models with 4WD. Each rear rotor is one piece and fully cast, with 5 studs on a 150 bolt hole circle diameter, so the set is meant to replace the factory rear discs.
Baer Brakes positions the Claw rear rotor as an upgrade for braking feel and appearance. Drilled and slotted holes in the friction face let gas and dust escape from between pad and rotor, a design the brand connects with steadier braking and reduced fade. Chamfered cross-drilled holes are meant to limit stress cracking, and the zinc plating is aimed at wheels with open centers.
Key features
- Cross-drilled and slotted rear friction face for gas and dust release
- Vane structure intended for cooling and durability
- Premium, mill balanced, direct replacement design
- Chamfered cross-drilled holes against stress cracking
- Zinc-plated finish for open center wheels
- Sold as a set, ABS tone ring not included
Rear rotor inspection
Rear rotors on 4WD trucks and SUVs often wear more slowly than front rotors, but they still need regular checks. Look for scoring, heat cracks, a lip at the outer edge of the friction face, and pulsation through the pedal. When a rotor reaches its minimum thickness, replace it rather than trying to resurface it.
Parking brake function is closely linked to rear rotors, especially drum-in-hat designs. Inspect the parking brake shoes and adjusters when the rear rotors come off, since a worn parking brake can drag or fail to hold. Clean the hub face, check the wheel studs for damage, and use a torque wrench when fitting the wheels back on.
Pads should be bedded in properly after the rear rotors are installed. Matching the pad compound to the vehicle’s use helps keep wear even and reduces noise. Keep the brake lines and calipers in good condition, since they affect how the rear brakes apply.

Vehicle fitment
It fits two models, both with 4WD: the Lexus LX470 from 1998 to 2007, and the Toyota Land Cruiser from 1998 to 2007, where the fitment is for a 13 inch rear rotor.
Not covered: 2WD versions of these models, and Toyota or Lexus models or years outside 1998 to 2007. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The Land Cruiser fitment is for a 13 inch rear rotor, so compare the overall height of 102.6 and outside diameter of 329.18 with the rotor you are replacing before fitting. The ABS tone ring is not included, so keep the existing tone ring in place. Do a gentle test drive to check pedal feel before normal use.
