Overview
The Baer Brakes Pro Plus 13.0 Inch rear brake system in Fire Red, part 4262148FR, is a rear disc kit for Ford 9 Inch rear axles with Early Big bearing housing ends. Its six-piston fixed caliper works with a 13.0 inch vented, two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor.
Target hubs use five lugs on a 5×4.50/5×4.75 pattern. Wheel clearance depends on the individual wheel, so measure it against the Q082H template before mounting the rotor.
Key features
- Six-piston 6P caliper in Fire Red
- Two-piece rotor, slotted, drilled and zinc plated, with billet aluminum hat
- Staggered pistons for more even pad wear
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure
- Park brake shoe assembly built into the backing plate
- CNC machined from billet or forged aluminum, manufactured in Phoenix, AZ
Hub and rotor fit
Rotor hat fit depends on the hub face and wheel mounting surface, which is why the kit’s bolt pattern and minimum wheel diameter should both be checked against your axle. Clean the hub face and rotor hat contact area before mounting, since rust or debris can cause runout and vibration. A runout check with a dial indicator is a common step on performance installs.
Wheel spacers and hub-centric rings change how the wheel sits relative to the caliper. Any change in offset alters caliper clearance, so repeat the template check after adding spacers. Tighten lug nuts to the specification for your wheel style and recheck them after the first few drives.
Stainless braided hoses should be routed so they cannot rub on the suspension or the wheel. Look along each hose at every service for chafing, and replace it if the outer braid is frayed.
- Clean the hub face before mounting
- Recheck runout if spacers are added
- Confirm caliper clearance after offset changes
- Inspect braided hoses for rub points

Vehicle fitment
The kit is for the Ford 9 Inch rear axle with Early Big bearing housing ends, so identify your axle housing and bearing type before buying. Kits for other housing styles are sold separately.
Kits built for other housing or bearing styles are sold under separate part numbers and should not be assumed to match. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Clearance against your wheel should be confirmed with the Q082H template before mounting. The stainless hardware on the rotor comes already assembled. The stainless braided hoses and hydraulic connections need a qualified technician to fit and bleed, because brake work is safety-critical.
What’s included
Six-piston caliper, the two-piece rotor with billet hat and NAS high grade stainless hardware, the backing plate with its one-piece park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: park brake cables, which the kit does not supply.
