    Baer has several different rear disc rotor sizes available. Some sizes may need to have the axle's mounting flange machined down in a lathe. Most machine shops can handle this for less than $50.

    Connect the braided stainless hoses to the factory brake lines on each end of the rear housing. Secure them with hose clamps and then use a wire brush and brake cleaner to remove the years of goop that is on the housing. Now is a good time to replace those axel shaft seals, too.

    You may need to create some brake caliper clearance on the driver-side fenderwell. This will keep the caliper from hitting the body if your car is lowered or may see heavy bumps. Simply bend the sheetmetal directly above the caliper with a hammer. Not all cars will require this mod.

    Baer warns against over-tightening the brake line banjo fittings on all the calipers. Use a very short-handled ratchet or short wrench so you can't make too much leverage. They don't require much tension to seal.

    The Baer Racing master cylinder can go on next. It's a cast-iron GM unit with a plastic fluid reservoir that Baer has carefully matched to the system. It directly replaces the factory master in most applications, so little or no line bending will be required. There's also a non-power-assist master cylinder available from Baer if you want to really feel what your brakes are about.
