Overview
The Baer Brakes Pro Plus 13.0 inch rear brake kit in Monster Green, part number 4262177MG, is a complete rear disc setup for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch axles with small bearing housing ends. A 6-piston fixed caliper grips a 13-inch two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor, and the kit ships as one sold set.
Each backing plate doubles as the caliper mount and contains a modern one-piece park brake shoe assembly. Baer rates the 13.0 inch Pro Plus for wheels 17 inches and larger. Baer makes the caliper in Phoenix, Az, from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum that is CNC machined and powder coated.
Key features
- Six-piston caliper with staggered pistons that help even out pad wear
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals rated for dust, weather and pressure
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Rotors pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware
- Steel braided hoses that carry DOT approval
- One-piece park brake shoe assembly housed in the backing plate
Before you buy
Start with the axle. Ford 8 inch and 9 inch rear axles share a small bearing housing style, but axle identification is still the first step, because the backing plate and rotor mounting depend on it. Once the axle is confirmed, look at the wheels you plan to run, since rotor diameter and caliper clearance decide whether a given wheel will clear the assembly.
Think about the parking brake as well. This kit carries its park brake shoe inside the backing plate, so a vehicle that uses a cable-operated parking brake will need cables from another source. Brake fluid, hoses and pad material are worth reviewing during installation, since they are easier to renew while the rear is already apart.
- Identify the rear axle housing first
- Compare wheel diameter with the rotor size
- Source parking brake cables if needed
- Inspect hoses for chafing during install

Vehicle fitment
Fit is set by the rear axle rather than the model year. The kit is designed for Ford 8 inch or 9 inch axles with small bearing housing ends. Measure or inspect your axle housing before ordering.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. Wheel fit varies by style, so compare the Q082H template with the wheel you plan to run.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are not part of this kit, so vehicles using cable-operated parking brakes need cables sourced separately. Check wheel clearance with template Q082H before mounting. Brake installation calls for experience with rear disc conversions and the right tools.
What’s included
The set contains a 6-piston caliper, 13.0 inch two-piece rotors pre-assembled with stainless hardware, a backing plate with park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
