Overview
The Baer Brakes 6910079 is a left-side, 1-piece tall hat replacement brake rotor with a plain surface finish. It is a vented cast iron rotor with a 13 inch outside diameter and a 5 x 4.75 inch bolt pattern, sold individually for select Baer Brake systems.
The rotor is directional, so it is made for the left side of the vehicle only. It is a purpose built full cast casting with a curved vane design for cooling and dynamic balancing for vibration-free running.
Key features
- Full cast, one-piece construction
- Curved vane design for optimum cooling
- Built for rotor stability and resistance to distortion
- Dynamic balanced for vibration-free performance
- Directional brake surface, specific to the left side
- Plain surface finish with Performance grade
Pads, bedding and hub checks
Brake rotors and pads work as a pair, so the pad compound and thickness affect how a new rotor wears and how smoothly it stops. Before installing, check that the hub face is clean and free of rust, since any buildup can cause runout and a pulsing pedal. Use a dial indicator or a steady inspection to confirm the rotor sits flat against the hub before the caliper goes back on. Clean the rotor surface with brake cleaner to remove oil and packing residue from the casting process.
Bedding in the new pads and rotor helps build an even friction layer. Make a series of moderate stops from moderate speed, allowing the brakes to cool between runs. Avoid holding the brakes hard at low speed for long periods, which can leave uneven deposits. Inspect the rotor periodically for scoring, blue discoloration or a lip at the outer edge, and replace it when wear or heat damage shows.
- Clean the hub face and rotor surface before fitting
- Torque lug nuts in a star pattern
- Check for runout before the caliper is reinstalled
