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 LEFT side of vehicle always refer 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 Baer recommends jack stands
rated for at least 2-tons.
•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, as well as a safety catch can and protective
eyewear. Other than these items, if unique or special tools are required they are listed in the
section for that step.
•ALWAYS CONFIRM WHEEL FIT PRIOR TO BEGINNING INSTALLATION OF ANY BRAKE
SYSTEM OR “UPSIZED” ROTOR UPGRADE! In addition to already having checked fit
using the Baer Brake Fit Templates available online at www.baer.com, always place the
actual corner assembly or a combination of the caliper assembly fit onto the rotor into the
actual wheel to reconfirm proper clearance is available between the caliper and the wheel
before
