Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262743R is an 11.65 inch Classic rear brake kit for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch small bearing housing ends fitted with staggered rear shocks. It replaces a rear drum with a vented 1-piece rotor, a red powder coated single-piston floating caliper with integral park brake, and stainless braided hoses.
This kit targets small bearing housing ends in the Ford 8 inch and 9 inch family with staggered shock mounting. It is a practical drum-to-disc option for smaller wheels, with the caliper, rotor, brackets and hoses supplied together.
Key features
- Modern single-piston caliper with integral park brake
- Vented 1-piece rotor with slotted, drilled and zinc plated surface
- Steel braided brake hoses, DOT approved
- FMSI D0627 pad type with ceramic friction material
- Red powder coated finish
- Minimum wheel diameter 15.0 inch
Choosing the right setup
Small bearing housing ends and staggered shock mounting are a specific combination, so the first step is confirming both before you look at brake details. Axle flange style and shock layout together tell you whether the kit’s bracket and rotor arrangement will clear the housing and the shock mounts.
Think about the wheels you plan to run. Clearance around the caliper and rotor depends on wheel design, backspacing and the template check, so a wheel that looks similar may still rub. Reviewing the wheel against the brake assembly before final tightening saves rework.
A drum-to-disc swap often prompts related work: new hydraulic lines, a refreshed master cylinder if it is worn, and correct parking brake cable routing. Clean the hub face and check the bearings while the axle is apart, and keep fasteners organized so the caliper bolts go back in the right place.

Vehicle fitment
It is built for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch small bearing housing ends with staggered rear shocks. Match your axle flange and shock layout to the kit before ordering.
This kit is not for Ford 9 inch early big bearing ends or for non-staggered shock setups. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are sold separately and are not part of this kit, so the integral park brake will not work until they are obtained and routed.
Lay the V107I template on the wheel you plan to run before mounting, because fit into every wheel style cannot be guaranteed. After installation, bleed the hydraulic system and check the pedal before driving.
What’s included
One Classic caliper with integral park brake, 11.65 inch rotors, brackets, hardware, stainless braided hoses and fittings.
Not included: Park brake cables, sold separately.
