Overview
The 55067-020 is a set of two rear Claw performance rotors for 2000–2006 Cadillac Escalade models, 2000–2006 Chevrolet and GMC full-size trucks and SUVs, and 2003–2014 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana 1500 vans. It is a drum-in-hat type rotor, so the disc and parking brake drum are one casting.
Slots and drilled holes in the face let gases and dust escape from between pad and rotor, which supports steadier pedal feel and less brake fade. The rotors are one-piece full cast iron and floating, with a rust resistant coating and a zinc-plated finish. The 12.98 outside diameter and 3.76 overall height are shown in the specifications below.
Key features
- Drum-in-hat design that combines the rotor and parking brake drum
- Slotted and cross-drilled surface that Baer describes for consistent pedal feel
- Enhanced vane structure that Baer says improves cooling and durability
- Chamfered cross-drilled holes that Baer says reduce stress cracking
- Rust resistant coating and zinc-plated finish on a floating rotor
Rear drum-in-hat service
A drum-in-hat rotor combines the disc and parking brake drum, so a rear hub job covers both the service brake and the parking brake. Parking brake shoes wear slowly, but when they are worn the handbrake may need more travel to hold the truck. Inspect the drum surface for grooving and check the adjuster hardware while the rotors are off.
Rear rotors on full-size trucks and vans carry more weight than their size suggests, especially when towing or loaded. Keep the pad abutment clips clean, and replace any worn wheel studs before reassembly. Tighten lug nuts in a crisscross order after the first few stops.
- Check the parking brake adjuster before reassembly
- Inspect the hub bearing seal when the hub is open
- Re-check lug nut torque after the first few miles

Installation notes
Because this is a drum-in-hat design, the parking brake shoes and hardware are part of the rear brake job, so inspect them when the rotors come off. The brake surface is directional, so check the rotation marking on each rotor. Brake work on rear hubs should be done with the vehicle securely supported.
What’s included
The set contains two rear rotors, sold as a pair.
Not included: brake pads and parking brake shoes, which are separate parts.
