Default Been there done that

Yes, I had to open the hole for my Moser axles. I also had some issues with the park brake drum inside the rotor that I had to fix. Different rotor than yours, single piece but it came from Baer with the SS4 rear kit.

Haven't seen it in a while but it's happened to us before;
Pretty cheap to have a machine shop open it up a bit!

Dale would it be easier to open the rotor or have the axle register turned down?

I’d mess with the rotors before the axles. Your next set of rotors may fit fine but if you turn down the axle....

Thanks guys Looks like it was built for willwood rear brakes when it should have been Baer. So I may open the rotor up to the 3.060 hub. just want to check with baer that it will not affect the hub at all.

I had an issue with the rotor not fitting over the parking brake. Baer walked me through how to reset the pin inside to free up the shoe.
