Overview
Part 4262150FR from Baer Brakes is a 14.0 inch Pro Plus rear brake system finished in Fire Red for Ford 8 inch/9 inch small bearing housing ends. A six-piston fixed caliper clamps a 2-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor, and Baer’s listed minimum wheel diameter is 18.0 inch.
Baer’s backing plate doubles as the caliper mount and holds a one-piece park brake shoe assembly. The rotors arrive pre-assembled with stainless hardware, and the set adds stainless braided hoses.
Key features
- Fire Red six-piston caliper with powder coated finish
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons help minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Caliper machined in Phoenix, Arizona from U.S.-sourced forged or billet aluminum
- 2-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Steel braided hoses, DOT approved, with high grade stainless hardware
Pads and bedding in
Pad material determines how the rotor wears and how quickly the caliper warms up. Semi-metallic compounds handle heat well but can be noisier, while ceramic compounds run quieter with a lighter dust load. Choose a pad that matches how the vehicle is driven, and replace pads before the backing plate contacts the rotor.
Bedding in new pads and rotors takes a set of moderate stops that transfer an even layer of friction material. Skipping this step can leave uneven deposits that cause vibration. Once the new set is seated, a steady stop without fade confirms the pads are working properly.
- Replace pads in axle pairs
- Clean the caliper slide pins during pad service
- Use a light lubricant on the pad contact points only

Vehicle fitment
The kit is made for Ford 8 inch/9 inch small bearing axle flanges with a 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt pattern and 5 lug count. Match the axle and wheel bolt pattern to your vehicle before ordering.
Baer does not guarantee fit into every wheel style, so compare the Q082P template to your wheel. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are not supplied, so existing cables are required or must be purchased separately. Confirm wheel clearance for the 14.0 inch rotor and the 18.0 inch minimum wheel diameter before mounting. A qualified technician should bleed the hydraulic system after the braided hoses are installed.
What’s included
Fire Red calipers, pre-assembled 2-piece rotors, the backing plate and park brake shoe assembly, plus stainless braided hoses and hardware.
