Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262723R is a Classic Series 10.5 inch rear brake kit for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch small bearing housing ends, built for non-staggered rear shock applications. It converts a rear drum setup to disc brakes and includes a red single-piston floating caliper, a 10.5 inch solid rotor, mounting brackets, hardware and stainless braided brake hoses.
Baer presents the Classic system as a modern braking upgrade for smaller wheels. The kit is intended for wheels 14 inch in diameter or larger, and the caliper carries an integral park brake. Because this version is matched to non-staggered rear shocks, check your shock layout before ordering and choose the staggered 4262724R kit if your vehicle uses staggered shocks.
Key features
- Red powder coated single-piston floating caliper
- Integral park brake built into the caliper
- One-piece solid 10.5 inch rotor with a slotted, zinc plated surface
- Stainless braided brake hoses, DOT approved
- Ceramic friction material for FMSI D0627 brake pads
- Dust and weather seal included with the caliper
Before you buy
A rear disc conversion changes how the axle is braked, so it is worth confirming the parts match your existing axle and shock layout before the kit arrives. The small bearing housing ends on Ford 8 inch and 9 inch axles are common, but the flange and shock geometry decide whether this kit lines up cleanly with your setup.
Because the park brake is built into the caliper, the cables are a separate step. Plan for them early so the rear brakes can be finished in one session. Rear brake work also often involves checking the parking brake adjustment, the axle seals and the condition of any remaining drum hardware that is being removed.
- Confirm the axle flange and shock layout match the kit
- Plan for park brake cables before assembly
- Inspect the wheel clearance around the rotor and caliper
- Replace worn wheel bearings and seals while the axle is open

Installation notes
Park brake cables are sold separately, so arrange them before setting up the integral park brake. Baer’s V120V template helps compare the rotor and caliper against your wheel, though fit with every wheel style cannot be guaranteed.
Brake changes affect stopping performance, so have the finished installation checked by a qualified technician before the vehicle is driven.
