Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262149HO is a Hugger Orange Pro Plus 13.0 Inch rear disc brake kit for Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) bearing housing ends. The kit pairs a 6-piston fixed caliper with a 13.0 Inch vented two-piece rotor.
The 6P caliper mounts to a rotor that is slotted, drilled and zinc plated, and the backing plate that holds the caliper also carries a one-piece park brake shoe. Pads use the D0731 FMSI type. Owners of Ford 9 Inch axles with the Late Big bearing flange are the target audience, especially those who want service and parking brakes in one assembly.
Use the 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt pattern and the Ford 9 Inch Torino/Late Big Bearing flange as your check points before buying. Those two details decide whether the kit suits your rear axle.

- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips under a powder coat finish
- Staggered piston layout reduces uneven pad wear
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals
- Pre-assembled rotor with NAS high grade stainless hardware and a billet aluminum hat
- DOT approved stainless braided hoses included
Keeping the rear brakes in service
Rear brakes on a Ford 9 Inch axle work hard during towing and in hilly driving, and the vented rotor helps move heat away from the pads. Regular checks keep that heat management working as designed, including looking for scoring, blue discoloration and uneven pad wear.
Park brake function sits inside the rear assembly, so the shoe adjustment should be checked as part of routine service. A shoe that is out of adjustment can make the parking brake feel weak even when the service brakes are fine.
Bleed the hydraulic system after any hose or caliper work, and inspect braided hoses for abrasion each time the wheels come off.
- Look for blue or glazed rotor surfaces
- Check park brake adjustment at each service
- Bleed the system after hose changes

Vehicle fitment
The kit is built for a rear axle with a Ford 9 Inch Torino/Late Big Bearing flange, a 5 Lug 5×4.50/5×4.75 pattern and wheels of at least 17.0 Inch diameter.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. The kit is built for the Late Big Bearing flange, so other flange styles fall outside its coverage.
Installation notes
Rotors come pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, and the braided hoses are supplied with hardware. Template Q082H is the reference for checking your wheel against this system before mounting. A qualified brake technician should handle the install with the rear axle properly supported.
