Overview
The Baer Brakes 6929173 is a 13.570 inch, 1-piece right-side replacement brake rotor with a slotted, drilled and zinc-plated friction face, used in select Baer Brake systems. It is a vented, directional cast iron rotor with a 1.100 inch nominal thickness and a 3.055 inch center bore.
The friction face is slotted and drilled with a zinc-plated finish. Brake pads clamp the friction face while the vanes move air through the rotor. The curved vane layout aids cooling. The rotor is dynamically balanced and has five studs on 4.50 and 5.00 inch bolt circles. It has no drum in hat and no ABS tone ring, so it is a hub-mount rotor for the right side only.
Key features
- Slotted and drilled friction face with a zinc-plated finish
- One-piece full cast construction in cast iron
- Curved vane layout, which Baer says aids cooling
- Directional brake surface built for the right side
- Dynamically balanced for vibration-free running
- Performance grade type
- Five studs on 4.50 and 5.00 inch bolt circles
Matching rotors and pads
A rotor is only one part of the braking system. Pads, calipers and brackets all need to suit the rotor’s thickness and diameter, so check those parts together before buying. A rotor that is too thin for the caliper or pad can cause poor contact and uneven wear. Because this rotor is directional, keep the right-side part on the right side and mark it during removal so it is not reinstalled backward.
Slotted and drilled faces help clear debris and gas from the pad surface, but they can wear pads faster in some driving. Drilled rotors can crack around the holes under heavy thermal stress, so inspect them after hard braking or towing. Look for cracks, deep grooves, a lip at the outer edge, or pulsation in the pedal as signs the rotor needs replacement.
- Replace the rotor and pads together when the surface is worn
- Bed in new pads and rotors before hard stops
- Keep left and right rotors separate during service

Vehicle fitment
It is made for select Baer Brake systems, so the system, bolt pattern and hub must match rather than a vehicle year.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Because the surface is directional, the right-side rotor is not interchangeable with the left, so mark the side before the old rotor comes off. Confirm the bolt pattern and 3.055 inch center bore against the hub, and have a brake shop check caliper bracket clearance.
What’s included
One 1-piece right-side replacement rotor, slotted, drilled and zinc-plated.
Not included: the left-side rotor, calipers, pads and bearings.
