Overview
The Baer Brakes Extreme Plus 4302472R is a red rear disc brake kit for Chevrolet C10 trucks from 1960 to 1987, which Baer also links to Blazer and Suburban models. It is meant for a C-clip rear end on a 2WD, 5 lug truck and combines a six-piston caliper with a 15 inch slotted and drilled rotor. A park brake is included, giving a complete rear brake setup.
The hubs arrive with bearings and races installed and packed with Redline synthetic grease, so the system is designed to bolt onto the control arms. Baer cannot guarantee fit with every wheel style, so check the N135U template against the wheel you plan to run before fitting.
Key features
- Forged 1-piece monoblock 6-piston caliper with 6S designation
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons help reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure
- 2-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Powder coated finish in red
- Park brake included
Before mounting the rear kit
Mounting a rear disc system starts with the axle, not the caliper. The housing flange has to match the hub assembly, and the wheel stud pattern must match the lug nuts being supplied. Gather the lug nuts, the park brake cable and the tools first so the truck is not left with a wheel off for long.
Once the kit is on, bed in the pads gradually and check the park brake before driving. Test the pedal and park brake at low speed in a clear area. Re-torque the lug nuts after the first short drive, since new hardware can settle. Keep the brake fluid topped up and bleed the system so the pedal is firm.
- Match lug nuts to the wheel studs
- Check the park brake before the first drive
- Re-torque the lug nuts after a short drive
