Overview
Baer’s 4401006HO is a Hugger Orange front Pro Plus brake kit with a 2-piece 6-piston, 6P fixed caliper and a 14.0 inch vented, slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor. It fits the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL and the 2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator JT with OE spindles and hubs.
This 14 inch Pro Plus is made for wheels 18 inch or larger and is matched to the D0731 pad type. Wheel styles differ widely, so fit into every wheel style cannot be assured. Use the Q082P template to check the system against the exact wheel you plan to run.
Key features
- Two-piece 6-piston caliper, manufactured in Phoenix, AZ, with a Hugger Orange powder-coated finish.
- CNC machined from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum.
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips.
- Staggered pistons aimed at minimizing uneven pad wear.
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure.
- Slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat, arriving pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware.
Brake fluid and hoses
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point and can make the pedal feel soft under heavy braking. Fluid should be replaced on a regular schedule and after any work that opens the hydraulic system. Use the fluid type called for in your vehicle’s owner documentation.
Rubber hoses swell and crack with age and heat, so inspect them whenever the brakes are serviced. Stainless-braided hoses resist expansion and can give a firmer pedal, but they still need bleeding after installation. Bleed the system in the correct order to clear trapped air from the calipers.
- Look for cracks, bulges or wet spots on each hose
- Bleed all corners after any line work
- Replace fluid that has darkened or been exposed to air
- Keep the master cylinder cap sealed
