Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262265MG is a rear SS4 Plus 13-inch brake system for Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) bearing axle ends, finished in Monster Green with a 5×5.00 bolt pattern. It combines a four-piston S4 caliper with a 13.0 inch two-piece rotor and a park brake shoe assembly.
The rotors come pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware. The backing plate serves as the caliper mount and houses the one-piece park brake shoe assembly. Stainless braided hoses and hardware are included. The 13 inch SS4 Plus fits wheels of 17 inch or larger, and the S135H template helps check wheel fit before assembly.
Key features
- Two-piece four-piston S4 caliper manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona.
- Backing plate doubles as the caliper mount and houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly.
- CNC machined from U.S.-sourced forged or billet aluminum.
- Hard anodized aluminum pistons with stainless steel abutments and noise suppression clips.
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals.
- Slotted, drilled, zinc-plated 13 inch rotor with a billet aluminum hat.
- Stainless braided hoses and hardware included.
Park brake upkeep
A park brake built into the backing plate works only as well as its shoe, cable and adjuster. Pull the lever through its full travel during routine service and note whether it holds the vehicle firmly on a slope. Clean dust from the backing plate and confirm the shoe assembly moves freely without binding.
Cables should be checked for fraying, stiff sections and corrosion at the anchor points, since a sticking cable can hold the shoe partly applied. When the park brake pulls unevenly or feels weak, inspect the shoes before adjusting the cable. Replace worn shoes as a set so both sides grip the same way.
- Check lever travel at each service
- Inspect cables for fraying or stiffness
- Keep the backing plate free of debris

Vehicle fitment
Because Baer cannot guarantee fit with every wheel style, compare the S135H template with your wheel before assembly.
Installation notes
The one-piece park brake shoe assembly sits in the backing plate, so the park brake portion is part of the mounting hardware rather than a separate bracket. Park brake cables are not included, so arrange cable routing before installation. A qualified technician should install this kit and test the brakes before driving.
What’s included
The kit contains the S4 calipers, the 13 inch two-piece rotors with pre-assembled stainless hardware, the backing plate with park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: Park brake cables.
