OEX; Semi-Coated Custom Vane Design Rotors, Semi-Metallic Pads and Hardware
Wagner® OEX brake pads for pickups, SUVs and CUVs are specifically designed to provide premium braking performance. Equipped with a proprietary friction formulation and patented, vehicle-specific and customized slot designs, these pads are engineered to deliver up to two times longer pad life, less dust, and reduced rotor wear.
Pad Features & Benefits:
Specifically engineered to deliver optimal braking performance
Patented, application-specific shape and customized slot design deliver improved braking performance, reduce rotor wear and minimize dust to increase the life of the brake pad
Design increases turbulent air flow for improved heat dissipation and cooler operation
Superior galvanized steel plates with mechanical retention and premium stainless-steel hardware for better corrosion resistance and longer life
Pad shape and five shim layers deaden noise, vibration and harshness
Includes premium stainless-steel hardware, where applicable
Features Wagner OE25™ zero-copper friction formulation
Wagner® E-Coat Brake rotors are engineered for maximum performance with an E-Shield® protective electro-coating applied to all non-braking surfaces. This black-colored coating prevents corrosion, makes removal for service fast and simple, and is visually attractive for open spoke wheels. A turned, smooth surface finish aids in the proper seating of the friction and requires less time for rotor “break-in".
Rotor Features & Benefits:
A precision cut finish of the outer diameter prevents improper balance issues that can result in a loss of vehicle control
A smooth finish aids in the proper seating of the friction resulting in less time needed for pad “break-in”
OE Specific vane design provides effective cooling capabilities resulting in increased stopping power and decreased noise, vibration and harshness
E-Shield coating is applied to all non-braking surfaces which prevents corrosion and is visually attractive
Tighter tolerance specifications reduce thickness variation and lateral run-out to ensure a balanced rotor that reduces pedal pulsation and extends pad life
Wagner utilizes a combination of premium grade iron, a stringent casting process and a controlled manufacturing environment which results in superior braking performance
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
