Overview
Part number 4261084CY is the Baer Brakes Extreme Plus front brake kit in Comp Yellow, built for 2WD Ford F-150 and Ford Expedition trucks and the Lincoln Navigator from 1997 to 2003. Its brake assembly pairs a 1-piece Monoblock 6-piston, 6S caliper with a 14 inch, 2-piece slotted and drilled rotor.
The caliper is CNC machined from US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging in Phoenix, Az, and carries a powder coated Comp Yellow finish. The 14 inch rotor is designed for most wheels 18 inch or larger, but wheel fit cannot be guaranteed for every wheel style. Check the N045P template against the wheel before mounting.
Key features
- Comp Yellow powder coated 1-piece Monoblock caliper
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons that help minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure
- Slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Pre-assembled NAS high grade stainless rotor hardware
Brake fluid and line bleeding
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point and can soften pedal feel. Any time a caliper is removed or a line is opened, the system needs a complete bleed to remove trapped air. A spongy pedal after installation usually means air is still in the lines.
Bleeding order and technique matter with a fixed caliper. Work from the wheel farthest from the master cylinder and keep the reservoir topped up so air is not drawn back in. Dispose of old fluid properly and never reuse fluid that has been drained from the system.
- Use fresh fluid of the type the master cylinder requires
- Bleed from the farthest wheel toward the closest
- Keep the reservoir full during the bleed
- Check the pedal firmness before driving
