Overview
The Baer Brakes 54111-1012 is a rear Claw rotor and pad combo kit for the Ford F-150, with the manufacturer fitment list showing 2010–2012 trucks. Each kit pairs a set of slotted, drilled and zinc-plated cast iron rotors with ceramic performance street pads, so both rear brake components are replaced as one package.
Baer describes Claw combo kits as a way to improve braking performance and appearance at an accessible price. The kit suits an F-150 owner who drives mostly on pavement, in either 2WD or 4WD form, and wants a bolt-on rear brake refresh that also brings the stainless-steel abutment and noise suppression hardware needed for installation.
Key features
- Slotted and drilled cast iron rotors, zinc plated for a brighter look behind open center wheels
- Ceramic performance street pads included with the rotor pair
- Stainless-steel abutment and noise suppression hardware included
- Direct bolt-on replacement; no modifications are needed.
- Balanced between performance and comfortable everyday road driving
- Premium grade, one-piece full cast rotor construction
Before you install
Rear brake jobs go faster when the hub, caliper bracket and pad seats are cleaned before the new rotors go on. Rust or grease on the hub face can make a rotor sit off true, which shows up as pulsation under light braking. Check bearing play and parking brake adjustment while the wheel is off, since both affect how evenly the new pads wear.
Pads and rotors wear together, so replacing both at once keeps braking balanced from side to side. Bed in new pads with a series of moderate stops before any hard braking, and watch the abutment hardware for seized or loose pieces during the first few drives.
- Clean the hub face and rotor mounting surface
- Replace brake hardware that shows corrosion
- Tighten lug nuts in a star pattern after the first drive

Vehicle fitment
Fitment is based on the manufacturer fitment list, which shows the 2010–2012 Ford F-150. Other F-150 generations and other Ford models are not on that list for this kit.
Fit is confirmed for 2010–2012 Ford F-150 trucks. The 04–11 New Body 6-lug trucks and the Harley Davidson edition need a separate fit check before ordering.
Installation notes
The kit is a direct bolt-on replacement, so no drilling or welding is described. Abutment clips are included, while brake lubricant is not, so plan to supply your own. Each kit contains a pair of rotors and a set of pads, so both rear sides are covered together. Support the vehicle securely on stands before working on the rear brakes.
What’s included
A pair of Baer Claw slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotors, a set of Baer Claw ceramic performance street pads, and stainless-steel abutment and noise suppression hardware.
