Overview
The Baer Brakes Pro Plus 13.0 Inch rear brake kit in Hugger Orange, part number 4262148HO, is designed for the Ford 9 Inch rear axle with Early Big bearing housing ends. A six-piston, 6P caliper works with a 13.0 inch vented two-piece rotor that is slotted, drilled and zinc plated.
Kits in this family are matched to 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt patterns with five lugs. Baer advises comparing your wheel with the Q082H template, because the company cannot promise clearance for every wheel design, even though the Pro Plus is said to suit most wheels 17 inches or larger.
Key features
- Six-piston 6P fixed caliper painted Hugger Orange
- Dual seals protect against dust, weather and pressure
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons help even out pad wear
- Slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Park brake shoe assembly housed inside the backing plate
- CNC machined from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum, made in Phoenix, Arizona
Rear axle compatibility
Matching the axle to the kit is the step most often skipped. The Early Big bearing housing style determines how the backing plate and caliper bracket line up with the axle flange, so a Late Big housing should not be assumed to match this kit. Identify the housing before ordering, and keep the axle code or tag as a reference.
Painted calipers hold their finish best when they are kept clear of road salt and mud. A mild soap and water rinse after wet runs removes grime that can dull paint over time. Avoid abrasive pads on painted surfaces, and clean the rotor face separately with a brake cleaner made for that purpose.
Off-road builds see heavier mud and rock debris than street cars. Check the caliper mounting bolts and hose clearance after each season of hard use, since vibration can loosen fasteners and move lines against the suspension.
- Identify the bearing housing before ordering
- Rinse the caliper after wet or muddy driving
- Use non-abrasive cleaners on painted surfaces
- Inspect hose clearance after hard use

Vehicle fitment
The kit is designed around the Ford 9 Inch rear axle with Early Big bearing housing ends, an axle type rather than a specific make, year, model or trim. Verify that your vehicle’s year, model and trim fit before you buy.
Axles with other bearing housing styles are covered by different part numbers. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Confirm wheel clearance with the Q082H template before the wheels go on, because Baer does not guarantee fit across wheel styles. The rotor hardware is supplied pre-assembled. Have a qualified technician install the hydraulics and bleed the lines, since brake faults are difficult to notice until the vehicle is moving.
What’s included
Calipers, 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 their hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
