Overview
Baer Brakes part 4262193GB is a Grabber Blue rear brake kit with a 13-inch two-piece rotor, sized for Ford 9 Inch Torino (late big) bearing housing ends on a 5×5.00 inch bolt pattern. A six-piston fixed caliper clamps the slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor, and the grade is Performance.
The backing plate holds a one-piece park brake shoe assembly. Braided hoses ship in the box, and NAS high grade stainless hardware comes already assembled on the rotor. The 13 inch Pro Plus is intended for wheels 17 inches or more, but fit cannot be confirmed for every wheel design, so the Q082H template is the check to run before mounting.
Key features
- Six-piston caliper with staggered pistons to limit uneven pad wear
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure
- Caliper CNC machined from forged or billet aluminum, made in the US and powder coated
- Slotted, drilled and zinc plated two-piece rotor with billet aluminum hat
- NAS high grade stainless hardware supplied with the rotor
- One-piece park brake shoe assembly housed in the backing plate
Setup and upkeep
A rear kit like this changes how the axle carries braking load, so the setup should be looked at as a whole. The backing plate that holds the park brake shoe assembly needs to sit square before the rotor is torqued down, and the parking brake should be adjusted once the unit is in place. Pads should be seated against the new rotor before the vehicle is driven hard, since the friction surfaces take a short time to match.
Routine checks are simple. Look at the rotor surface for scoring, heat marks and thickness close to the minimum, and replace worn pads in matched sets. Inspect the braided hoses for chafing or bulges, and keep the fittings snug without overtightening them. Pedal feel that turns soft or spongy is a sign to bleed the system and check for leaks.
- Confirm the park brake holds before regular use
- Inspect hoses and fittings at each service
- Replace pads and rotor surfaces as a matched pair

Vehicle fitment
The rear axle reference is the Ford 9 Inch Torino (late big) bearing housing end, an axle design rather than a model year. Confirm that the axle on the vehicle matches before choosing this kit.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. Compare the Q082H template with your wheel, since Baer cannot confirm fit with every wheel design.
Installation notes
- Measure wheel clearance against the Q082H template before the rotor is mounted, since the minimum wheel is 17.0 inch.
- Braided hoses come with the kit; bleed the brake system once the lines are routed and connected.
- Have a qualified technician test the park brake after the backing plate is installed.
