Engineered with superior metallurgy, Wagner SevereDuty rotors are designed for high-strength durability and extreme heat management, providing ideal braking power for fleet, delivery, municipal and emergency vehicles that make frequent stops and carry heavy loads.
Features:
Built Strong -- Engineered to OE dimensions, rotors are designed for fleet, municipal, work and delivery vehicles that are driven in demanding conditions, making frequent stops, towing and carrying heavy loads
Extreme Durability -- Designed with superior metallurgy featuring a combination of lightly alloyed and high-carbon metallurgy for high-strength, excellent durability and extreme heat management
Engineered For Performance -- OE-specific vane design provides effective braking power and heat dissipation while controlling noise, vibration and harshness
Premium Protection -- Durable E-Shield® protective coating is applied to non-braking surfaces to inhibit corrosion
Proper Balance -- Spin balanced and cut to limit vibration for improved stability and control
Easy Installation -- Rotors are packaged in a Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor bag, eliminating the need for an oil coating which reduces prep time
Perfect Pairing -- Pair Wagner SevereDuty rotors with Wagner SevereDuty brake pads for optimal performance under extreme use
Installation Tips
Always replace Brake Pads and inspect Calipers and Brake Hoses when installing new rotors
Suspend the caliper from the suspension using a Caliper Hanger to prevent damage to the brake hose
After removing the old 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
