Overview
The Baer Brakes Pro Plus 13.0 Inch rear brake system, part number 4262149CY, is a rear disc brake kit for Ford 9 Inch rear axles equipped with Torino (Late Big) bearing housing ends. It pairs a six-piston, 6P fixed caliper finished in Comp Yellow with a 13.0 inch vented, two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor, which suits builders who want more rear braking capacity than a stock setup.
The kit is built for 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt patterns with five lugs. The Pro Plus suits wheels 17 inches or larger, but wheel designs vary, so check clearance against the Q082H template before buying.
Key features
- Six-piston 6P fixed caliper in Comp Yellow
- Two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plate rotor with a billet aluminum hat
- Staggered pistons designed to minimize uneven pad wear
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals guard against dust, weather and pressure
- Backing plate serves as the caliper mount and houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly
- CNC machined from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum and manufactured in Phoenix, AZ
Choosing the right setup
Rear disc conversions on a Ford 9 Inch axle depend on the bearing housing style more than anything else. Late Big and Early Big ends use different axle flange arrangements, so identify your housing before buying. A mismatch means the rotor hat and caliper bracket will not seat correctly, which is why bearing style is the first thing to check on any rear kit.
Wheel clearance is the next check. A larger rotor and six-piston caliper take more space behind the spokes than a drum setup. Test-fit a wheel with the intended width and offset against the caliper and rotor, and confirm it clears before starting the job. Brake lines routed along the axle tube also need room to move with suspension travel.
Many builders replace the rear lines, pads and fluid at the same time as the rotors, since older lines and fluid tend to wear alongside new hardware. Inspect the park brake shoes and adjuster at the same visit.
- Confirm bearing housing style before ordering
- Test-fit wheels against the caliper and rotor
- Replace rear lines and fluid during the job
- Inspect park brake shoes and adjuster

Vehicle fitment
This kit is built around the Ford 9 Inch rear axle with Torino (Late Big) bearing housing ends, an axle type rather than a specific make, year, model or trim. Make sure the year, model and trim suit your vehicle before you order.
Housings with other bearing styles, including Early Big ends, need a different Baer part number and should not be assumed to match. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The one-piece park brake shoe assembly sits inside the backing plate, which also acts as the caliper mount, so the park brake is not a separate bracket. Rotor hardware comes pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless fasteners. Have a qualified technician fit the brakes and bleed the hydraulic system, since this kit is a braking component.
What’s included
The kit includes the six-piston caliper, the two-piece rotor with billet aluminum 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, which the kit does not supply.
