Overview
The Baer Brakes Pro Plus 13.0 inch rear brake kit in Hugger Orange, part number 4262177HO, is a rear disc brake system for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch axles that use small bearing housing ends. Its 6-piston fixed caliper clamps a 13-inch two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor, and the kit is sold as a single set.
The backing plate is the caliper mount and holds a one-piece park brake shoe assembly, so parking braking sits inside the same rear package. The 13.0 inch Pro Plus is intended for wheels of 17 inches or larger. The caliper is produced in Phoenix, Az from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum, CNC machined and powder coated.
Key features
- Six-piston caliper with staggered pistons for more even pad wear
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Rotors pre-assembled using NAS high grade stainless hardware
- Steel braided brake hoses with DOT approval
- Park brake shoe assembly built into the backing plate
Keeping rear brakes working
Rear disc brakes do most of their work through the pads and rotor, so the surfaces deserve regular attention after installation. Look for uneven pad wear, scoring on the rotor face and any change in pedal feel. A caliper with staggered pistons can help spread pressure across the pad, but the pad itself still wears and needs checking.
Hoses and seals are the other parts that age. Stainless braided hoses resist abrasion, yet they should still be inspected for kinks, chafing and seepage. When the parking brake is cable-free, make sure any linkage or actuator is free to move so the shoe engages fully when applied.
- Inspect pads and rotor surfaces at each service
- Look for leaks at hose fittings
- Check that park brake linkage moves freely
- Bleed the system after any hose change

Vehicle fitment
No vehicles are listed in the fitment data for this kit. It is intended for rear axles fitted with Ford 8 inch or 9 inch small bearing housing ends, so axle type decides compatibility rather than a model year. Inspect your axle housing before choosing this kit.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. Because wheel styles vary, compare the Q082H template against your intended wheel.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are not supplied, so cable-actuated parking brakes need separately sourced cables. Use template Q082H to check wheel clearance before fitting. Work on rear disc brakes should be left to someone experienced with this type of conversion.
What’s included
Included are the 6-piston caliper, two-piece 13.0 inch rotors pre-assembled with stainless hardware, the backing plate with park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
