Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262186HO is a Pro Plus rear disc brake kit for Ford 9 inch early big bearing axle housings with a 5×5.00 wheel bolt pattern. It combines a 6-piston, 6P fixed caliper with a 13 inch two-piece rotor finished in Hugger Orange.
Baer built this kit for buyers who want a larger rear brake package on a 9 inch axle. The backing plate acts as the caliper mount and houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly. Rotors arrive pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, and the rotor has a billet aluminum hat.
Key features
- 6-piston, 6P fixed rear caliper in a Hugger Orange powder coated finish
- Two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons designed to limit uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- CNC machined parts made from US sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Uses the D0731 FMSI brake pad type
- Dust and weather seals described by Baer as T compliant
Things to check
Rear disc conversions often reveal clearance issues that are easy to miss on the bench. Tire width, wheel backspacing and suspension travel all affect how close the caliper sits to the wheel face. Mock up the wheel and tire with the caliper in place, and confirm the hose has room to move through full suspension travel without rubbing.
Slotted and drilled rotor surfaces help shed debris and gas, yet they can also wear pads faster in some conditions. Expect a short bedding period, and avoid hard stops right after pad replacement. Watch the rotor surface for cracks near the drilled holes, which signal that the rotor needs attention.
- Check hose clearance at full steering lock
- Recheck lug torque after the first drive
- Keep brake dust off the caliper seals during cleaning
- Replace stretched or cracked hoses rather than patching them
- Look for fluid seepage at each caliper fitting

Vehicle fitment
The Ford 9 inch early big bearing axle flange is the rear axle requirement for this kit. Template Q082H is used to check wheel clearance against the 17.0 inch minimum wheel diameter.
Before purchase, verify the vehicle year, model and trim against the axle flange and housing.
Installation notes
The park brake shoe assembly sits inside the backing plate, so the rear brake hardware goes on as one unit. Check wheel clearance with the Q082H template before mounting the rotor, since fit with every wheel style cannot be guaranteed.
What’s included
Pre-assembled rotors with NAS high grade stainless hardware, a backing plate with one-piece park brake shoe assembly, a 6P caliper, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: Park brake cables.
