Overview
Part 4262197HO is a Pro Plus rear brake kit for Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) Bearing axle ends. The Hugger Orange 6P caliper clamps a 14 inch two-piece, slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor, and D0731 pads are the pad type.
A single backing plate carries the caliper and houses a 1-piece park brake shoe assembly, which keeps the parking function inside the rear package. Baer’s template reference for this kit is Q082P. Fit with every aftermarket wheel style cannot be guaranteed, so check the template against your wheel before ordering.
Key features
- Six-piston 6P caliper with stainless pistons and abutments.
- Hugger Orange powder coated finish.
- Stainless noise suppression clips.
- Staggered pistons to minimize uneven pad wear.
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure.
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat.
- Rotors come pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware.
- Brake hose DOT approved; braided hoses and hardware are included.
Caring for the caliper
A fixed six-piston caliper stays in place on the backing plate, so its pistons, seals and bleeder need periodic attention. Keep the caliper body clean of road grime and check the dust seals when pads are changed. Powder coated finishes can chip from stones, so touching up exposed metal helps slow corrosion.
Caliper and rotor life depends on how the brakes are used. Frequent heavy stops, towing and long descents load the pads and rotor more, so inspect them more often in those conditions. Stainless hardware and clips should be checked for free movement whenever the pads come out.
- Inspect dust seals whenever pads are replaced
- Look for fluid seepage around the pistons
- Check the braided hoses for chafing or bulging
