Overview
The Baer Brakes 4261558R is an 11.9 inch front Pro Plus brake system in red, sold as a kit for the 1976–1977 Ford Bronco. It combines a six-piston (6P) caliper with a two-piece rotor, meant for owners who want a front disc upgrade on a stock disc spindle, as detailed in the fitment section below.
Baer Brakes calls the Pro Plus its best-selling system. Every rotor is delivered pre-assembled, with a 6061 T-6 billet aluminum hat fastened to the friction ring by high grade NAS (aircraft) hardware. The red caliper has a powder coat finish, and Baer Brakes also offers custom colors and finishes on request.

Vehicle fitment
Fitment is listed for the 1976–1977 Ford Bronco in Custom and Sport trims. The product note says stock disc spindle only, so confirm your truck uses that spindle design before buying parts for it.
This kit is not listed for other Ford trucks, later Bronco generations, or Bronco models outside the Custom and Sport trims. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Hoses are not part of this kit, so buy banjo-fitting brake hoses separately, since the caliper design uses no pipe thread. The stock disc spindle requirement should be checked before any work begins. A loose or mismatched connection can cause brake failure, so have a qualified installer complete and test the system.
What’s included
