Wagner SevereDuty® brake kits are exclusively engineered for vehicles driven in extreme environments, providing ideal braking power for fleet, delivery, municipal and emergency vehicles that make frequent stops and carry heavy loads.
Pad Features:
Engineered for fleets and vehicles driven in demanding conditions
Semi-metallic carbon-based friction material engineered in-house to deliver long lasting braking performance for the toughest applications
Rigorous on-vehicle testing to ensure optimal braking performance for vehicles under extreme heat, frequent stopping and heavy loads
Rotor Features:
Designed with superior metallurgy featuring a combination of lightly alloyed and high-carbon metallurgy for high-strength, excellent durability and extreme heat management
OE-specific vane design provides effective braking power and heat dissipation while controlling noise, vibration and harshness
Durable E-Shield® protective coating is applied to non-braking surfaces to inhibit corrosion
Spin balanced and cut to limit vibration for improved stability and control
Rotors are packaged in a Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor bag, eliminating the need for an oil coating which reduces prep time
Installation Tips
Suspend the caliper from the suspension using a Caliper Hanger to prevent damage to the brake hose
Before installing the rotor, clean the hub face with a Wire Brush to remove rust buildup and apply Copper Anti Seize to prevent future buildup. Rust or debris on the hub can cause rotor runout and lead to wheel vibration
Apply brake lube to caliper pins, clips, the edges of the brake pad mounting tabs, and the back side of the brake pads to ensure noise free braking. DO NOT apply lube to the friction side of the brake pads
Use a Caliper Piston Compressor to retract the caliper piston(s) and make room for the new, thicker brake pads
Open the master cylinder reservoir during piston compression to prevent pressure buildup. Keep an eye on the Brake Fluid level to ensure it does not overflow
After the job is complete, pump the brake pedal several times to push the caliper piston back up against the pads to ensure proper brake function
