Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262744R is an 11.65 inch Classic Series rear brake kit for Ford 9 inch early big bearing housing ends that use non-staggered rear shocks. It converts the rear drum to a disc brake using a vented, slotted, drilled and zinc plated 1-piece rotor and a red powder coated single-piston floating caliper.
The Classic Series is a drum-to-disc conversion built for early big bearing Ford 9 inch rear axles with non-staggered shock mounts. It supplies the calipers, brackets, hoses and rotors as one package and suits owners who want a modern brake upgrade for smaller wheels.
Key features
- Modern single-piston caliper with integral park brake
- 11.65 inch vented 1-piece rotor with slotted, drilled and zinc plated surface
- Stainless steel braided brake hoses, DOT approved
- Uses the common FMSI D0627 brake pad, with ceramic friction material
- Red powder coated caliper finish
- Minimum wheel diameter 15.0 inch; Baer recommends checking the V107I template against your wheel
Before you buy
Converting a drum rear to disc changes more than the brake hardware. The axle flange, bearing style and shock layout decide whether the parts bolt up cleanly, so confirm the axle housing end before comparing kits. Early big bearing ends and small bearing ends use different hub arrangements, and a mismatch means wasted parts and a return.
Once the axle matches, consider how the rear brakes work with the rest of the vehicle. A disc rear with a caliper and rotor changes pedal feel and how braking load is shared front to rear, so the rear system should be matched to the front. Fresh fluid matters when the lines are filled, and hoses should be routed clear of suspension travel and exhaust heat.
Parts often replaced during the same job include wheel bearings, the axle seals, and any old drum hardware that interferes with the new caliper bracket. Inspect the rotor and pads after the first few drives, and recheck caliper bolts once the system has settled.

Vehicle fitment
It is built for Ford 9 inch early big bearing housing ends with non-staggered rear shocks. Check your axle flange and shock layout against the kit before ordering.
Small bearing ends and staggered shock setups are not covered by this kit. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The integral park brake needs separate park brake cables, which are sold separately and are not in the box. Obtain them before final assembly, because the park brake cannot be tested without them.
Baer cannot guarantee fit into every wheel style, so lay the V107I template against your wheel before mounting. Once the hoses are routed and the caliper is bolted on, bleed the system and confirm pedal feel before driving.
What’s included
One Classic caliper with integral park brake, 11.65 inch rotors, brackets, hardware, stainless braided brake hoses and fittings.
Not included: Park brake cables, which are sold separately.
