Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262654MG is a rear SS4 brake system in Monster Green for Ford 8 Inch/9 Inch small bearing housing rear ends, pairing a 12-inch one-piece rotor with a four-piston S4 caliper. It is built for a 5×5.00 inch bolt circle with five lugs, and it includes a park brake shoe assembly.
Baer’s backing plate does two jobs: it mounts the caliper and carries the park brake shoe assembly, so one rear bracket handles both. Braided brake hoses are supplied, and the slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor is sized by Baer for wheels 16 inch and larger.

Park brake and backing plate
The backing plate is the mounting point for the caliper and the park brake shoe assembly, so the rear brake and parking function share one bracket. Keeping that plate clean and free of corrosion helps the shoes seat correctly and keeps the caliper aligned with the rotor.
Shoe adjustment is an important part of setup because worn or misadjusted shoes reduce parking hold. Parking brake cables must be sourced separately, so measure the existing cable routing and length before disassembly to avoid surprises at installation. Ford 8 and 9 inch rear ends are common in trucks and older cars, so this backing plate approach applies across many setups.
- Clean the backing plate surface before mounting
- Check shoe adjustment after the first parking brake test
- Inspect cables for stretch, fraying or sticking
- Confirm the brake line routing before bleeding the system

Installation notes
The backing plate carries the park brake shoe assembly, so the parking brake shoes come with the rear kit. Compare template S113E against your wheels first, because the 12-inch rotor is sized for wheels 16 inch and larger. Have a qualified mechanic bleed the system and test the brakes before the vehicle returns to the road.
