Overview
Part 4262148MG is the Monster Green version of the Baer Brakes Pro Plus 13.0 Inch rear brake system, a kit for Ford 9 Inch rear axles with Early Big bearing housing ends. Its six-piston, 6P fixed caliper clamps a 13.0 inch vented, slotted, drilled and zinc plated two-piece rotor.
The kit targets the 5×4.50/5×4.75 five-lug pattern and suits wheels of 17 inches and up. Wheel designs differ, so test your own wheel against the Q082H template before ordering.
Key features
- Six-piston 6P fixed caliper finished in Monster Green
- Staggered pistons designed to limit uneven pad wear
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plate rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Backing plate doubles as caliper mount and holds a one-piece park brake shoe assembly
- CNC machined from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum, made in Phoenix, AZ
Parking brake checks
The park brake on a rear disc kit is built into the backing plate, so its function is part of the same installation as the service brake. The shoes need to contact their friction surface evenly, and the adjuster should move freely. Testing the parking function in a quiet, flat area before normal driving confirms that the shoes are seated and the lever holds.
Parking brake shoes wear slowly, but they are often neglected because the service brake does most of the work. Check the lining for uneven wear and the springs for fatigue each time the rear is serviced. A worn shoe that will not hold on a grade should be replaced before the vehicle is used off road, where hill stops are more common.
Off-road use places greater demand on any rear brake, since slow crawling on steep terrain relies heavily on the park function. Keep the adjuster clean and lightly lubricated, and recheck it after the first few trail outings.
- Test the park brake before normal road use
- Check shoe lining for uneven wear
- Keep the adjuster clean and free moving
- Recheck adjustment after early trail runs

Vehicle fitment
This kit is defined by the rear axle, a Ford 9 Inch housing with Early Big bearing housing ends. Match your vehicle’s year, model and trim to the kit before ordering, and confirm the bearing type against your axle first.
Housings with a different bearing style need a different kit, so match the bearing type to your axle first. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Because the park brake shoe assembly is part of the backing plate, test the parking function after installation and before normal road use. Rotor hardware arrives pre-assembled with stainless fasteners. Hydraulic work, including bleeding the lines, should be handled by someone experienced with performance disc brakes.
What’s included
Six-piston caliper, two-piece rotor with billet hat and NAS high grade stainless hardware, backing plate with the one-piece park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: park brake cables, which the kit does not contain.
