Notices – Read and Follow BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION

 All installations require proper safety procedures and protective eyewear.
 All installations assume basic mechanical skill and a factory service manual for the vehicle on

which the installation is to be performed.

 All references to the “left” side of the vehicle correlate to the driver’s side of the vehicle.
 Any installation requiring you to remove a wheel or gain access under the vehicle requires use of

jack stands appropriate to the weight of the vehicle. In all cases, jack stands rated for a minimum
of 2-tons is recommended.

 A selection of hand tools sufficient to engage in the installation of these products is assumed, and

is the responsibility of the installer to have in his/her possession prior to beginning this
installation. All installations, which require removal of hydraulic hoses and/or bleeding of the
brakes, require appropriate fitting/line wrenches, safety catch can, and protective eyewear. Other
than these items, if unique or special tools are required they will be stated appropriately in the
installation step.

 ALWAYS CONFIRM WHEEL FIT PRIOR TO BEGINNING INSTALLATION OF ANY BRAKE

SYSTEM OR “UPSIZED” ROTOR UPGRADE! In addition to checking wheel fitment (available
online at www.baer.com), always place the actual corner assembly or a combination of the caliper
assembly onto the rotor, and into the actual wheel. This procedure will reconfirm proper clearance
between the caliper and the wheel before proceeding with the actual installation.

 Returns will not be accepted for systems that have been partially or completely installed. Use

extreme care when checking wheel fitment to prevent any cosmetic damage.

 When installing new Baer rotors, be sure to follow the direction of rotation indicated on the rotor

hat area with either an arrow, or an “L” for left, or an “R” for right, or both. “L” or left always

indicates the driver’s side of US spec vehicles. Images shown are “L” left rotors:

 A proper professional wheel alignment is required for any system requiring replacement of the

front spindles, or tie rod ends. Follow factory prescribed procedures and specifications unless
otherwise indicated.

 At any point, stop the installation if anything is unclear, or the parts require force to install. Consult

directly with Baer Technical Staff in such instances to confirm details. Please have these
instructions, as well as the part number of the component (part numbers are machined into the
brackets) that is proving difficult to install, as well as the make, model, and year (date of vehicle
production is preferred) of your vehicle available when you call. Baer’s Technical Staff is available
from 8:30a.m. - 5:00p.m. Mountain Standard Time (Arizona does not observe Daylight Savings
Time) by phone: [phone] Monday through Friday.

INSTALLATION:

1. Remove the caliper from the anchor bracket by gripping the caliper pins with a 16mm open-end
wrench and using a 12mm Socket, and removing the caliper pin bolts. IMPORTANT: Do not
disconnect the brake hose. Place the caliper out of the way but do not suspend the caliper from
the brake hose. See, Photo 1 for reference.

Caliper-to-anchor bolts

2. Remove the original anchor from the axle housing using an 18mm wrench or socket. Save these
bolts for installation of the new anchor.

3. Remove the original pads, pins, and pad sliders from the original anchor. These will be
transferred to the new anchor.

4. Remove the original rotor and thoroughly clean the axle flange and the caliper mounting surface
to ensure the new components will seat properly.

5. Install the correct side rotor and secure with three lug nuts and washers to avoid marking the
rotor hat.

6. Apply the supplied silicone dielectric grease to the new anchor pin holes, as shown in Photo 2.

7. Install the supplied dust boots onto the anchor and insert the pins.
