Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262737R is a rear brake kit for Ford 8.8 inch C-Clip rear ends with a 2.5 inch axle standoff and a 4 lug wheel pattern. It converts the rear to a 10.5 inch disc brake system built around a single-piston caliper, a one-piece rotor and braided stainless brake hoses, and it is sold as a complete kit.
The Classic Series is a drum-to-disc conversion for wheels 14 inch or larger, with calipers, rotors, brackets, hardware, stainless braided hoses and fittings in one kit. The caliper carries an integral park brake for a rear parking function.
Key features
- Modern single-piston caliper with integral park brake
- Red powder coated caliper finish
- Slotted, dimpled and zinc plated one-piece rotor
- Stainless braided brake hoses and fittings
- Uses the common FMSI D0627 brake pad, ceramic friction material
- Economical modern brake option for smaller wheels
Axle standoff and fit
The standoff sets where the brake assembly sits relative to the axle, and it has to match for the caliper and rotor to line up. A C-Clip rear end holds the axle bearing with a clip at the axle end, so the flange and retention style must suit the kit before any other step. Measure or confirm the axle before buying, because the parts cannot be modified easily once installed.
Four lug and five lug patterns use different hubs and rotor carriers, so a pattern mismatch is not a small problem. The wheel studs, center bore and offset also affect whether the wheel clears the caliper body. Test-fitting a wheel with the caliper in place helps catch rubbing before the vehicle is driven.
Four lug rear ends are common on lighter vehicles, and the braided hoses should be routed away from moving parts such as the axle and suspension links. Periodically inspect the hose ends for seepage and chafing, and replace them if the outer braid is damaged.

Vehicle fitment
The kit is built for Ford 8.8 inch C-Clip rear axle flanges with a 2.5 inch axle standoff, so the axle type and standoff must match before ordering. Compare the V120V template with the wheel you plan to use, since fit into every wheel style cannot be guaranteed.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are sold separately, so a rear park brake hookup requires cables that are not part of this kit. Check the template against the wheel for clearance before mounting, and inspect the braided hoses and fittings for clearance and leaks after installation.
What’s included
The kit includes one Classic caliper with integral park brake, the 10.5 inch rotor, brackets, hardware, stainless braided brake hoses and fittings.
Not included: Park brake cables are sold separately.
