Overview
The Baer Brakes SS4 11.0-inch rear brake system in Hugger Orange, part 4262773HO, is a complete rear disc brake kit for Ford 9 Inch Torino (late big) bearing housing ends. Its S4TL four-piston caliper clamps an 11-inch one-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor, and the backing plate carries a compact park brake assembly.
Baer designed the backing plate to serve as the caliper mount while leaving room for that park brake, a layout the company credits with improved wheel fitment. The kit is set up for 5 lugs on a 5×4.50/5×4.75 wheel bolt pattern, and the caliper carries a Hugger Orange powder-coated finish.

Before you buy
A rear disc conversion changes how the axle handles braking, so check the whole system before buying. The caliper, rotor and backing plate work as one assembly, and the wheel, hub and housing ends must all match. Measure your housing ends and wheel clearance before ordering, since a kit that looks right on paper can still rub against a suspension arm or spoke.
Park brake cables are often the part that needs replacing during a conversion. Old cables stretch or corrode, and a new park brake assembly will not hold well with worn or mismatched cable. Inspect the parking brake lever travel and the cable routing before choosing a cable set, and budget for new brake lines if the old ones show chafing or rust.

Vehicle fitment
The kit is built for rear axles with Ford 9 Inch Torino (late big) bearing axle flanges. Match it to your housing ends rather than to a model year.
No specific car or truck is named for this kit, and fit to every wheel cannot be guaranteed. Use the ST217A template to compare it with your wheel of choice.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are not included, so you will need to supply cables that match the park brake assembly in the backing plate. The braided hoses and mounting hardware are included. Check wheel clearance with the template before mounting the wheel. Rear disc conversions should be handled by someone experienced with rear brake systems.
What’s included
The kit includes the S4TL caliper, the 11-inch rotor, the backing plate with its park brake assembly, and stainless braided hoses and hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
