Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262197FR is a Pro Plus rear disc brake kit for Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) Bearing housing ends, bolt pattern 5×5.00. The 6-piston 6P caliper is Fire Red and works with a 14 inch rotor that is vented and two-piece.

- Staggered piston layout meant to limit uneven pad wear.
- Dual seal design for dust, weather and pressure.
- Two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat.
- Rotor and stainless hardware arrive pre-assembled.
- DOT approved brake hose, plus braided hoses and hardware in the kit.
Park brake and cable planning
A rear park brake built into the backing plate gives a second holding method, but it depends on correct cable routing and adjustment. Plan the cable path before mounting the backing plate so the cable does not rub against the axle, suspension links or the rotor. Keep cable ends protected from water and grit, since corrosion can make the lever feel stiff or cause the brake to hang up.
When the parking brake feels worn or sluggish, the cause is often shoe adjustment or a seized cable rather than the pads. Check lever travel and hold on a slope in a safe spot. Replace cables as a matched pair on the same axle so both sides pull evenly, and recheck the adjustment after the first few drives.
- Route cables away from heat sources and moving parts
- Protect cable ends and pivots from water and grit
- Replace worn cables as a matched pair
- Recheck park brake hold after the first few drives
