Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262189HO delivers a rear Pro Plus brake setup in Hugger Orange for Ford 9 inch rear ends that use early big bearing housing ends. The package centers on a 6-piston, 6P caliper and a 14.0 inch, 2-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor, set on a 5×5.00 bolt pattern. It is intended for owners who run 18 inch or larger wheels and want a bigger rear rotor.
The caliper is manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona, and its body is CNC machined from US sourced forged or billet aluminum. The rotors ship assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware. A one-piece park brake shoe assembly sits inside the backing plate, which also serves as the caliper mount.
Key features

- 14.0 inch vented 2-piece rotor, slotted, drilled and zinc plated, with billet aluminum hat
- One-piece park brake shoe assembly built into the backing plate
- Braided brake hoses and hardware included
- Powder coated Hugger Orange finish
- D0731 pad type
Choosing wheels for a larger rotor
A larger rear rotor only helps if the wheel can clear the caliper and rotor with room to spare. Wheel backspacing, offset and inner barrel shape all change clearance, so the wheel should be checked with the actual caliper in place rather than judged by diameter alone. Template checks catch most problems before the vehicle is driven.
Clearance is also affected by tire width and suspension height. A tire that fits the wheel may still rub the caliper at full steering or spring compression, especially on a lifted or loaded vehicle. Recheck clearance after any change to wheels, tires or ride height, and inspect the rotor edge for contact marks after the first drives.
- Measure inner barrel clearance around the caliper
- Check tire sidewall clearance at full steering lock
- Recheck after changing ride height
- Confirm lug seat type matches the wheel

Vehicle fitment
It is built for Ford 9 inch rear axles that use early big bearing housing ends, so the axle flange determines the match. Check the axle flange on your housing against this kit before you order.
The early big bearing flange is the match here; the late big bearing (Torino) flange is a different fit. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Compare template Q082P with your wheel before mounting, since Baer cannot guarantee fit for every wheel style. The rotors are pre-assembled, so treat the rotor and hub as one unit while fitting. A qualified technician should handle the installation.
What’s included
The kit includes the 6P caliper system with 14.0 inch 2-piece rotors pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, the backing plate with its one-piece park brake shoe assembly, and braided brake hoses with hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
