Overview
The Baer Brakes Pro Plus 14.0 inch rear brake kit, part number 4262152FR, is a rear disc brake package in Fire Red for the Ford 9 inch Torino (late big) bearing housing. The system pairs 6-piston fixed calipers with 14.0 inch two-piece rotors and D0731 pads, and its backing plate both mounts the caliper and encloses a one-piece park brake shoe.
Rotor surfaces are slotted, drilled and zinc plated, and Baer grades the kit as Performance. No vehicle fitment is listed, so verify your rear axle and wheel before installing. Baer indicates that wheels of 18 inch and up generally clear without spacers.
Key features
- Fire Red powder coated finish on the six-piston caliper
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons designed to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals rated for dust, weather and pressure
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat
- Rotors pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware
- Backing plate that houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly
- Caliper manufactured in Phoenix, AZ
Caring for the caliper finish
Powder coated calipers resist chips and road grime better than bare aluminum, but the coating can still scratch or flake when rocks strike the caliper or a wheel rubs against it. Inspect the finish after trail runs and touch up exposed metal before corrosion starts under the coating.
Clean the caliper body with mild soap and water rather than harsh solvents, which can dull or soften powder coat. Wheel cleaners can also strip finish, so rinse the wheel area after using them. Keep the rotor face and pad surfaces free of cleaning residue, and avoid overspray from degreasers near the friction surfaces.
- Rinse mud from the caliper after trail use
- Avoid aggressive wheel cleaners near the caliper
- Touch up chips before corrosion spreads
- Keep solvents off the pads and rotor face

Vehicle fitment
It is built for the Ford 9 inch Torino/late big bearing axle flange, which is a rear axle design rather than a specific vehicle. Match the flange and wheel before choosing this kit, and use the Q082P template to check wheel clearance.
Look up your vehicle’s year, model and trim, then match them to the axle flange before buying.
Installation notes
Run template Q082P against the wheel you plan to use, since Baer cannot guarantee wheel fit for every style. The minimum wheel diameter is 18.0 inch. Park brake cables are not part of the package, so arrange them separately if your park brake requires them. Rear brake work calls for experience with disc systems, so proceed carefully.
What’s included
The package has 6-piston Fire Red calipers, two-piece rotors with billet aluminum hats pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, the backing plate with its park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with mounting hardware.
Not included: Park brake cables.
