Overview
The Baer Brakes Pro Plus 14.0 inch rear brake system, part number 4262181CY, is a complete rear disc kit for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch rear axles that use small bearing housing ends. It pairs a 6-piston fixed caliper finished in Comp Yellow with a 14-inch two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor, and it is sold as a kit.
The backing plate serves as the caliper mount and houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly, so the same kit covers service braking and parking braking at the rear. The 14.0 inch Pro Plus is meant for wheels 18 inches or larger. The caliper is made in Phoenix, Az, from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum that is CNC machined and powder coated.
Key features
- Six-piston caliper with staggered pistons to reduce uneven pad wear
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals that guard against dust, weather and pressure
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat
- Rotors come pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware
- Stainless braided brake hoses that are DOT approved
- Park brake shoe assembly built into the backing plate
Choosing rear brake setup
A rear disc conversion changes more than the rotor. The axle housing, backing plate, park brake hardware and wheel clearance all have to work together, so it helps to look at the whole rear assembly before buying parts. Owners who run larger wheels often find that caliper clearance is the first thing to check.
Parking brake design is worth planning early. With the park brake shoe housed in the backing plate, an older cable-operated parking brake will not connect directly, so cables and any linkage need sorting before installation. Pads and hoses are often replaced alongside rotors, and checking them during the install keeps the job to one visit.
- Confirm the axle housing type before ordering
- Check wheel clearance with the template
- Plan parking brake cables if the vehicle uses them
- Replace rotors and pads as a matched set when wear is uneven

Vehicle fitment
It is designed for rear axles with Ford 8 inch or 9 inch small bearing housing ends, so the axle type decides fit rather than a model year. Check your axle housing before ordering.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. Baer cannot guarantee fit on every wheel style, so compare the Q082P template with your wheel.
Installation notes
The park brake cables are not included, so a vehicle that uses cable-operated parking brakes needs compatible cables sourced separately. Baer recommends checking wheel clearance with the Q082P template before mounting. Brake work should be handled by someone experienced with rear disc conversions.
What’s included
The kit includes the 6-piston caliper, the 14.0 inch two-piece rotors pre-assembled with stainless hardware, the backing plate with its park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
