Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262746R is an 11.65 inch Classic Series rear brake kit for the Ford 9 inch rear axle with Late Big/Torino bearing housing ends and non-staggered rear shocks. It converts drum rear brakes to a disc setup with a red single-piston floating caliper, a vented one-piece rotor and stainless steel braided hoses.
This kit suits a rear end that matches the Late Big/Torino bearing housing ends and the non-staggered shock layout. The Early Big, staggered-shock version is a separate Baer part number, so check the axle flange and shock setup against your car before ordering.
Key features
- Single-piston Classic caliper with an integral park brake
- Red powder coated caliper finish
- Slotted, drilled and zinc plated 1-piece rotor, 11.65 inch diameter
- Stainless braided brake hoses, DOT approved
- Ceramic friction material that uses the common FMSI D0627 pad
- Modern disc braking suited to smaller wheels.
Wheel and template checks
Wheel fit is the most common reason disc conversions get returned. Calipers need room between the spokes and the rim lip, and wheel offset changes where the caliper body sits. A template check before final assembly catches problems early, while a different wheel can still be swapped in without rework.
Park brake cables are a separate purchase on this kit, so plan the route early. Cables should run without rubbing the exhaust, suspension links or the axle tube. Brake fluid should be fresh after installation, and the first few stops should be made at low speed to bed in the pads.
- Measure wheel backspacing before buying wheels
- Check caliper clearance at full steering lock
- Bleed the system fully after line work
- Re-check bolts after the first few drives

Vehicle fitment
The kit is for the Ford 9 inch rear axle with Late Big/Torino bearing housing ends and non-staggered rear shocks. Confirm the vehicle’s year, model, chassis code and trim before ordering. Fit is set by the axle type and the non-staggered shock layout.
This kit is not the Early Big bearing housing or staggered rear shock configuration, which Baer lists under a different part number. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Lay the V107I template against the wheel you plan to run before mounting, since not every wheel style will clear. The park brake cables are not supplied, so plan their routing before final assembly. Have a qualified brake technician confirm the axle flange and shock clearance before any rear end work begins.
What’s included
The kit includes one Classic caliper, the 11.65 inch rotor, brackets, hardware, stainless braided brake hoses and fittings, and the park brake function on the caliper.
Not included: Park brake cables.
