Overview
This rear Pro Plus brake kit is built for the Ford 9 inch early big bearing axle flange. It combines a 6-piston fixed caliper in Fire Red with a 14 inch, 2-piece slotted, drilled, zinc plated rotor. The kit includes a park brake shoe assembly and comes as a complete set.
The Pro Plus is intended for most 18 inch or larger wheels. The kit uses the D0731 pad type and a 5×5.00 wheel bolt pattern.
Key features
- 6-piston, 6P fixed caliper in Fire Red, manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona
- 14 inch, 2-piece slotted, drilled, zinc plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- CNC machined from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum with a powder coated finish
- Stainless braided hoses and hardware included
- One-piece park brake shoe assembly housed in the backing plate
Rotor care after installation
A two-piece rotor with a zinc plated finish needs a short break-in period so the pads can transfer an even layer to the friction surface. Gentle stops during the first few drives help bed in the new pads and rotor together. Hard stops from speed before the pads have settled can cause uneven wear or brake judder.
Slotted and drilled faces help shed heat and gas, but they also collect dust and debris. Clean the hat and rotor surface when pads are changed, and check the hub face for rust or runout before fitting new parts. Any pulsing in the pedal under light braking should be looked at before further driving.
- Keep hub and rotor mating surfaces clean
- Check lug nut torque after the first drive
- Inspect the rotor edge for lips or heat cracks
- Plan park brake cables separately

Vehicle fitment
Fitment covers the Ford 9 inch early big bearing axle flange, with a 5×5.00 wheel bolt pattern and a minimum wheel diameter of 18.0 inch. Compare these details with your axle and wheels, and confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Fit with every wheel style is not guaranteed, so compare the Q082P template to your wheel before mounting.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are not included, so plan to source cables separately for the park brake assembly. Pre-assembled rotors come with NAS high grade stainless hardware, and Baer recommends using the Q082P template against your wheel before mounting. Brake work on a rear axle should be done by someone experienced with disc brake systems.
What’s included
The kit includes the 6-piston fixed caliper, the pre-assembled 2-piece rotor with stainless hardware, the backing plate with a one-piece park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses and hardware.
Not included: Park brake cables.
