Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262147HO is a Pro Plus 13.0 inch rear brake system kit in Hugger Orange, built for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch small bearing axle housing ends with a 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt pattern. It pairs a 6-piston fixed caliper with a 13.0 inch two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated vented rotor, and it is sold as a complete kit.
Baer’s backing plate serves as the caliper mount and also houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly. The rotors arrive pre-assembled with NAS high-grade stainless hardware, and stainless braided hoses are included. The axle flange type is the main compatibility point to check.
Key features
- 6-piston, 6P fixed caliper with staggered pistons to minimize uneven pad wear
- Two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals that guard against dust, weather and pressure
- CNC machined from U.S. sourced forged or billet aluminum, powder coated finish
- D0731 pad type with steel braided, DOT approved brake hoses
- Park brake shoe assembly built into the backing plate
Pad choice and wear
Pad material affects how the brakes feel, how quickly the rotor wears and how much dust the wheels collect. A pad type matched to the caliper and rotor keeps the pressure even across the friction surface. Staggered pistons on a fixed caliper help the pads wear evenly, but they do not remove the need for periodic inspection. A rotor that is worn below its minimum thickness can cause vibration and reduced stopping power.
When replacing pads, inspect the rotor face for grooves and check that the hat and hardware are tight. Many installers replace the pads and rotor together to keep the surfaces matched. Brake fluid should be fresh and the hoses free of cracks or bulges. Test the brakes at low speed before driving normally, and check the caliper bolts after the first few stops.
- Bed in new pads gradually
- Check hardware tightness after installation
- Flush brake fluid on a regular service schedule

Vehicle fitment
The kit is designed for rear axles with Ford 8 inch and 9 inch small bearing housing ends and a 5×4.50/5×4.75 wheel bolt pattern.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. Check the axle flange type on your rear axle against the Ford 8 inch and 9 inch small bearing description, and compare the Q082H template with your wheel because Baer cannot guarantee fit for every wheel style.
Installation notes
Baer recommends the Q082H template to confirm clearance with the wheel you plan to use, since the Pro Plus 13.0 inch system is stated to fit most wheels 17 inch or larger. The park brake shoe assembly is part of the backing plate and does not need a separate shoe kit. Brake work affects stopping performance, so have the completed installation checked before driving.
What’s included
The kit includes the rear brake system components described above, with pre-assembled stainless hardware on the rotors, stainless braided hoses and hardware, and the park brake shoe assembly.
Not included: Park brake cables.
