OCTOBER 2019 II CHEVY HIGH PERFORMANCE 55
11 | Here’s the installed Baer brake caliper
centered on the rotor as shown. There should be
some clearance between the pads and rotor. Once
you have applied brake pressure to the pads, they
will naturally center on the rotor.12 | Baer provides you with shims (washers) of
various thicknesses to get the caliper centered.
13 | The arrow indicates where the caliper
should be shimmed.
14 | Here’s the parking brake cable bracket,
which gets the cable positioned on the brake.
The arrows indicate where the parking brake
cable is installed.
10 | The brake
caliper is installed
next and secured
with two Grade 8
bolts provided with
the kit. Get the
caliper centered on
the rotor using shims
provided in the kit.
Sometimes, you get
lucky and the caliper
installs dead center.
Most of the time you
will need to shim
the caliper until it is
centered on the rotor.
