Overview
The Baer Brakes Pro Plus 14.0 Inch rear brake system, part number 4262181FR, is a 14-inch rear disc kit built for Ford 8 inch/9 inch small bearing rear axle ends with a 5×5.00 wheel bolt pattern. Its 6-piston, 6P fixed caliper is finished in Fire Red and clamps a 2-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor. Confirm axle flange, bolt pattern and wheel clearance before ordering.
Inside the Baer backing plate sits a modern 1-piece park brake shoe assembly, which gives the rear system a parking brake function alongside the caliper. Stainless braided hoses and hardware come with the kit. The Pro Plus suits most 18 inch or larger wheels, with a minimum wheel diameter of 18.0 Inch, and the Q082P template helps you test that clearance on your own wheel.
Key features

- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure
- 2-piece slotted, drilled, zinc plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat
- Rotors pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware
- Backing plate houses a 1-piece park brake shoe assembly
- Powder coated caliper finish in Fire Red
- Components CNC machined from US sourced forged or billet aluminum
Rear brake service basics
Caliper slide pins and dust boots are a common cause of uneven pad wear on rear disc systems. When pins seize, one pad drags while the other wears quickly, and the rotor can heat unevenly. Clean the pins during pad changes, use a suitable high-temperature lubricant, and make sure the boots seal fully after reassembly.
On trail vehicles, rear brakes take water, mud and grit. Rinsing the caliper and backing plate after deep crossings helps keep the friction surfaces working. Stainless hoses resist chafing better than rubber, but they still need checking for kinks, rubbing or damage at the fittings. A rotor with heavy rust on the friction face should be cleaned or replaced before the pads are bedded in.
- Slide pins moving freely
- Dust boots intact and seated
- Hoses free of kinks and rubbing
- Pads bedded in after replacement

Vehicle fitment
The kit is built for Ford 8 inch/9 inch small bearing rear axle ends with a 5×5.00 wheel bolt pattern. The Q082P template is used to check wheel clearance.
Baer cannot guarantee that every wheel style will fit, so test the template against your wheel. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Rotors arrive pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, so the rotor and hat are ready to mount. With an 18.0 Inch minimum wheel diameter and a 1.15 rotor thickness, the wheel clearance check with the Q082P template comes first. Park brake cables are not included, so account for that if your park brake setup uses cables. Have the rear assembly installed by someone experienced with this caliper and backing plate design.
What’s included
The kit includes the Fire Red 6-piston 6P caliper, the 2-piece rotor with NAS stainless hardware, the backing plate with its 1-piece park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with their hardware.
Not included: Park brake cables.
