Overview
Hugger Orange is the finish on Baer Brakes 4302136HO, a 14 inch one-piece monoblock rear disc kit for GM C/K1500 trucks from 1999 to 2019 and SUVs from 2000 to 2020. It also covers Tahoe, Yukon, Suburban, Yukon XL, Escalade and Avalanche models in the years shown.
Each Hugger Orange caliper is a 6S monoblock unit with six pistons, cast from 2618 aluminum forging and machined in Phoenix, Arizona. The vented rotor is designed for wheels 18 inch or larger. The kit suits trucks that keep their OE rear disc brakes and manual park brake, so the park brake is not part of the set.
Key features
- Monoblock 6S caliper with six pistons in a one-piece body
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual seals guard against dust, weather and pressure
- 14.0 inch vented rotor, one-piece, slotted, drilled and zinc plated
- Billet aluminum rotor hat
- Hugger Orange powder-coated finish
Pads, rotors and hoses
Pad material and rotor condition work together. A new rotor bedded against worn pads can glaze quickly, so replacing pads at the same time keeps friction even. Clean the hub face and check runout before mounting the new rotor, because a rough mounting surface can cause pulsing that feels like a warped disc.
Re-used factory hoses age even when they look sound. Check them for cracking, bulging and soft spots, and look at the fittings for seepage. Replacing an aging hose during the install is inexpensive compared with dealing with a leak later, and it keeps the new caliper responding the way it should.
- Replace pads when installing a new rotor
- Check hub faces for rust before mounting
- Inspect re-used hoses for cracking

Installation notes
Brackets and hardware are supplied, and the factory hoses stay in use, so look over those hoses for wear before the new caliper goes on. Template N228P is the reference for wheel clearance at the 18.0 inch minimum. Work only on a level, supported vehicle and never rely on a jack alone.
What’s included
The kit includes the 6S monoblock caliper, the 14.0 inch one-piece rotor with billet aluminum hat, and the brackets and hardware.
Not included: park brake, which is reused from the factory setup.
