Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262151CY is a Pro Plus 14.0 inch rear brake kit in Comp Yellow, made for Ford 9 inch early big bearing housing ends. It pairs a six-piston fixed caliper with a 2-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor, and Baer lists 18.0 inch as the minimum wheel diameter.
Baer’s backing plate serves as the caliper mount and also houses a modern one-piece park brake shoe assembly. Rotors come pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, and stainless braided hoses are included with the kit.
Key features
- 6-piston fixed caliper in Comp Yellow, manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona
- 2-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals guard against dust, weather and pressure
- CNC machined from U.S.-sourced forged or billet aluminum, with powder coated finish
- Stainless braided hoses and stainless hardware included
Rear rotor wear signs
A rear rotor wears through repeated pad contact, and the slots and drilled holes on a performance rotor can gradually lose their edges as heat cycles build up. Check the rotor face for deep grooves, blue discoloration, or a lip at the outer edge when you change pads. Measuring thickness against the minimum stamped on the old rotor tells you whether it can be reused.
On a rear axle, uneven wear often points to a sticking caliper slide or a seized park brake adjuster rather than the rotor itself. Pulling the caliper and checking that pistons move freely helps separate a hardware problem from a worn disc. Replace rotors and pads as a matched set so the new friction surface beds in evenly.
- Look for blue heat marks or cracks around the hat
- Feel for a pulsing pedal after a steady stop
- Check pad backing plates for uneven wear patterns

Vehicle fitment
The kit is made for Ford 9 inch early big bearing housing ends with a 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt pattern and 5 lug count. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Baer cannot guarantee fit into every wheel style, so compare the Q082P template to the wheel you plan to run. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are not included, so reuse your existing cables or source them separately. The minimum wheel diameter is 18.0 inch, and the 14.0 inch rotor must clear the wheel face, so run the Q082P template before mounting. After the braided hoses are fitted, have a qualified technician bleed the hydraulic system.
What’s included
Comp Yellow 6-piston calipers, 2-piece rotors pre-assembled with stainless hardware, the backing plate with its one-piece park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
