Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262148CY is a rear disc brake kit for Ford 9 Inch Early Big Bearing rear ends. It pairs a 6-piston fixed caliper in Comp Yellow with a 13.0 inch, 2-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor, and it is sold as a complete kit with braided hoses and a park brake shoe assembly.
Baer designed the backing plate to act as the caliper mount while also housing a modern one-piece park brake shoe assembly. The rotors come pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware. Wheel styles vary widely, so Baer recommends checking template Q082H against the wheel you plan to run.
Key features
- Six-piston, 6P fixed caliper with stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips.
- Staggered pistons help minimize uneven pad wear across the pads.
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure.
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat.
- CNC machined from U.S. sourced forged or billet aluminum with a powder coated finish.
- Stainless braided hoses and hardware are included, and the brake hoses are DOT approved.
Before you buy
Brake upgrades on a rear axle work as a system. The caliper, rotor, backing plate and hoses all have to match one another and the axle flange, so it helps to review the whole assembly before ordering. Measure your current housing ends and bearing style, then compare them with the flange this kit is built around. The park brake layout also depends on how the shoe and cables connect, so study your existing park brake setup before removing the old parts.
Wheel clearance is the other common surprise. Caliper bodies sit close to the spokes of many aftermarket wheels, and changes in offset can move the inside face of a wheel toward the caliper. Test fit a wheel with the template or a mock-up before final assembly, and recheck clearance after any suspension or tire size change.
- Confirm the axle flange type before ordering
- Check wheel offset against caliper clearance
- Plan for park brake cables if your setup uses them
- Replace hoses alongside the rest of the system during a rear conversion
