Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262264CY is a rear disc brake system kit in Comp Yellow, built around the S4 4-piston caliper and a 12 inch one-piece slotted, drilled rotor. It fits the Ford 9 Inch Torino/Late Big Bearing axle flange with a 5×5.00 wheel bolt pattern.
The backing plate carries the caliper and houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly, a separate friction mechanism that gives the parking brake its own function. Braided brake hoses come with the kit. The 12 inch rotor suits wheels 16 inch or larger, but fit to every wheel style is not guaranteed, so compare the S113E template with your wheel before mounting.
Key features
- S4 4-piston caliper with hard anodized aluminum pistons and stainless steel abutments
- Caliper body CNC machined from U.S. sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Powder coated caliper finish in Comp Yellow
- Dual seals protect against dust, weather and pressure
- Noise suppression clips are part of the caliper design
- One-piece slotted, drilled, zinc plated rotor
- Park brake shoe assembly built into the backing plate
- Braided brake hoses included
Setting up the rear kit
A rear disc kit replaces the stock setup at the axle, so the caliper, rotor and backing plate have to work together as one assembly. On a Ford 9 inch rear, the axle flange, bearing housing and wheel bolt pattern decide whether the rotor bolts on at all, so those dimensions come first. Heavier braking loads push heat into the rotor and pads, which is why slotted, drilled rotors and multi-piston calipers are often chosen for vehicles that see hard stops, towing or spirited driving.
Brake hoses, pads and the parking brake are often replaced at the same time as the calipers, since mixing old and new hardware can change pedal feel and bite. Check the rotor for scoring, cracks and wear below the minimum thickness stamped on it at each service, and inspect the pads for uneven wear. After the first few drives, re-check lug nut torque and caliper bolts, and bed in the pads as the pad maker advises.
- Check wheel clearance before buying
- Inspect the rotor face at every pad change
- Replace pads and hoses as a matched set when worn

Vehicle fitment
Fitment is set by the axle flange rather than by vehicle: the Ford 9 Inch Torino/Late Big Bearing flange, a 5×5.00 bolt pattern and a 16.0 inch minimum wheel diameter. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering, and use the S113E template against your wheel.
An axle flange name alone does not identify a vehicle, so no model or year range is claimed here. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The park brake shoe assembly sits inside the backing plate, but this kit does not include park brake cables, so plan to source cables separately if your setup needs them. Because Baer cannot guarantee wheel fit, lay the template against the wheel first. A qualified brake technician should handle the rear caliper mounting and hydraulic connections.
What’s included
Included: the S4 4-piston caliper mounted to a 12 inch one-piece rotor, the backing plate with its park brake shoe assembly, and braided brake hoses.
Not included: park brake cables.
