Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262262FR is an SS4 Plus rear brake system in Fire Red with a 13.0 inch vented rotor and a four-piston S4 caliper. It is designed around the Ford 9 inch early big bearing axle flange and a 5×5.00 wheel bolt pattern.
Each kit includes its own backing plate, which acts as the caliper mount and holds a one-piece park brake shoe assembly. The Fire Red caliper, pre-assembled rotor and braided hose set make up the rest of the kit. The grade type is Performance.
Key features
- Four-piston S4 caliper machined from forged or billet aluminum in the US.
- Rotor is two-piece, slotted, drilled and zinc-plated, carried on a billet aluminum hat.
- Hard anodized aluminum pistons with stainless steel abutments.
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals.
- Powder coated Fire Red finish.
- Braided hoses that are DOT approved.
- Caliper manufactured in Phoenix, AZ.
Lining up the park brake
A park brake that works through a shoe assembly in the backing plate depends on correct adjustment. After the service brake is set and the wheel is mounted, adjust the parking brake so the lever or pedal engages at a sensible point and holds the vehicle on a slope. Adjustment that is too tight can drag the shoes, while one that is too loose will not hold.
Cables are a separate purchase with this kit, so choose them to match the routing on your vehicle. Keep cable housings secured away from exhaust heat and sharp edges, and check the cable ends for wear each time the parking brake is adjusted. Braided hoses should be routed so they cannot rub moving suspension parts, since chafing can cause sudden leaks.
- Adjust the park brake after the service brake
- Route cables clear of exhaust heat
- Check cable ends for wear
- Keep braided hoses clear of springs and links
- Test the park brake on a slope before driving

Vehicle fitment
Match your rear end’s axle flange and wheel bolt pattern to the Ford 9 inch early big bearing flange and 5×5.00 pattern this kit is built for.
Wheel compatibility is not guaranteed for every wheel style, so use the S135H template with the wheel you intend to run.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering, and measure the axle flange against the early big bearing description first.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are not included, so arrange cables separately for the parking brake. Lay the S135H template over the wheel to check clearance before mounting. Rotors are pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware.
A qualified technician should verify the rear brake and park brake setup before the vehicle is used on public roads.
What’s included
The kit includes the Fire Red S4 caliper, two-piece rotors with stainless hardware, the backing plate with its park brake shoe assembly, and braided hoses with hardware.
