Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262147MG is a 13.0 inch rear disc brake kit for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch rear ends with small bearing housing ends, finished in Monster Green. Its 6-piston 6P fixed caliper clamps a 2-piece vented rotor, and the backing plate also carries a park brake shoe assembly.
Shoppers checking fit should start with the Ford 8 inch/9 inch small bearing axle flange, the 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt pattern and the 17.0 inch minimum wheel diameter.
Key features
- Six-piston 6P fixed rear caliper in a powder coated Monster Green finish
- Pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips are all stainless steel
- Staggered pistons designed to reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual seals guard against dust, weather and pressure
- Slotted, drilled and zinc plated two-piece rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Rotors come pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware
- DOT approved steel braided hoses included
- Caliper made in Phoenix, Arizona from U.S. sourced forged or billet aluminum
Matching the axle and wheel
Rear axle flanges come in several bearing and housing styles, and the flange is the first thing to match when buying a rear disc kit. Measuring the housing ends and counting lugs before ordering avoids a return. The wheel is the second check: the backing plate and caliper sit inside the wheel, so spoke or center designs can affect clearance even when the bolt pattern is right.
Once the axle matches, consider how the rest of the brake system is set up. Pads, rotor and hoses are often replaced together during a brake job, especially when the old rotor is worn or grooved. Keep the caliper slides clean and lubricated so the pads release fully. Inspect the park brake shoe adjustment periodically, and replace the cables if they stick or feel stretched.
- Measure the rear axle housing before choosing a kit
- Check wheel clearance with a template before mounting
- Replace worn pads and rotors together when possible

Vehicle fitment
The kit is built for the Ford 8 inch/9 inch small bearing axle flange. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. The Ford 9 inch early big bearing flange is a different axle flange and is not the one this kit lists.
Installation notes
Run template Q082H against the wheel you plan to use, since wheel fit can vary by style. Park brake cables are not part of the package, so plan that hardware separately if your setup calls for it.
