Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262106 is an IronSport rear disc brake kit for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch small bearing rear axles. It is a full feature drum to disc conversion, and the kit includes calipers, rotors, brackets, hardware and braided brake hoses with fittings.
The IronSport fits some 15 inch wheels and most 16 inch or larger wheels, and it suits owners who want a modern brake for smaller wheels. The rear set uses 11.65 inch vented rotors and a single piston floating caliper with an integral park brake.
Key features
- Single piston floating caliper with an integral park brake
- Silver zinc-plated caliper finish
- Vented 1-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor
- Braided brake hoses and fittings included
- Brake hoses are DOT approved.
- Minimum wheel diameter of 15.0 inch
Caliper and rotor care
Single piston floating calipers slide on pins, and those pins need to move freely for the pads to release evenly. Dust and road grime can build up around the slide area, so cleaning and light lubrication during pad changes helps prevent drag. Vented rotors dissipate heat well but still wear, so measure thickness whenever pads are replaced.
Braided hoses protect the line but still age, so inspect the fittings for seepage at each service. Parking brake function relies on the caliper mechanism, so test it on a slope after any work. Keep a simple log of pad and rotor changes so wear trends are easy to follow.
- Clean slide pins and boots during pad service
- Inspect braided hoses and fittings for seepage
- Bed in new pads with gentle stops
- Replace rotors that show deep scoring

Vehicle fitment
The kit fits the Ford 8 inch/9 inch small bearing rear axle flange, with a general fit of Ford 9 inch small bearing axles and 5 on 4.5 and 5 on 4.75 bolt patterns. Match the axle flange and bolt pattern before ordering.
Wheel fit cannot be assured for every wheel style or make, so compare the V107I template with the wheel you plan to use. The fit covers only the rear axle flanges above. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The park brake is integral in the caliper, but park brake cables are not included, so plan for cable hardware separately if your setup uses them. Check the caliper and rotor against your wheel with the V107I template before mounting. Brake work should be completed by a qualified installer and tested before the vehicle is driven on the road.
