Overview
The Baer Brakes 4261559R is an 11.9-inch front rotor kit with a red caliper color, made for Ford Bronco wheels 16 inches and larger. It fits the 1966–1975 Ford Bronco in Custom, Northland, Ranger and Sport trims, with a 5×5.50 wheel bolt pattern.
The kit is a pre-assembled set of directional rotors with dust and weather seals and NAS hardware. It is designed for off-road use, and the Pro+ front setup works with stock drum spindles only.

Choosing the right setup
Rotor and pad choice affects how a brake system feels on pavement and on the trail. Off-road driving puts extra heat into the braking surfaces, especially on long descents, so the rotor and pad should be chosen to work together. Pairing a heavy-duty rotor with a pad built for light street use can leave the pedal inconsistent once the brakes get hot.
A rotor swap is also a good time to inspect the hub, wheel bearings and any drum-era hardware that stays in service. Worn bearings or a loose hub can cause pulsation that feels like a rotor problem. Check the friction surface for scoring, cracks and uneven wear before reinstalling, and replace pads that are near their wear limit.
- Check rotor runout after installation
- Bed in new pads with moderate stops
- Replace fluid that is old or contaminated
- Look for grooves, heat cracks or a lip at the rotor edge

Vehicle fitment
Baer’s manufacturer fitment list covers the 1966–1975 Ford Bronco in Custom, Northland, Ranger and Sport trims.
It does not cover the 1976–1977 Ford Bronco, which uses Baer’s separate disc-spindle Pro+ systems, or any other Ford model. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The Pro+ front setup requires stock drum spindles, so confirm your spindle type before fitting. Brake hoses are not included, so check that your existing hoses suit this installation. Brake work calls for a jack, stands and a torque wrench, and a qualified technician should check the finished installation.
