Overview
Baer Brakes’ Extreme Plus front brake kit in Grabber Blue, part number 4261084GB, is built for 2WD Ford F-150 and Ford Expedition trucks and the Lincoln Navigator from 1997 to 2003. The kit centers on a 1-piece Monoblock 6-piston, 6S caliper that squeezes a 14 inch, 2-piece vented rotor with slots, drilled holes and zinc plating.
Each caliper is CNC machined from US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging in Phoenix, Az, then powder coated in Grabber Blue. The 14 inch rotor fits most wheels 18 inch or larger. Wheel fit cannot be guaranteed for every wheel style, so compare the N045P template with the chosen wheel.
Key features
- Fixed 6-piston Monoblock caliper, model 6S, with stainless steel pistons
- Staggered piston layout to limit uneven pad wear
- Stainless abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals
- Slotted, drilled, zinc-plated 14 inch rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Powder coated Grabber Blue caliper
Rotor and hat maintenance
The rotor is a two-piece design with a billet aluminum hat, so the hat and rotor ring should be checked as a set. Inspect the mounting faces for corrosion or debris before each install, since even small particles can cause runout and pulsing. Clean hub faces make a more reliable mount.
Hardware that holds the rotor should be checked after a short break-in drive. Settling can change clamp load, and a quick re-check helps keep the rotor square to the hub. Zinc plating helps resist surface rust, but moisture trapped between rotor and hat can still cause corrosion over time.
- Clean hub faces and rotor mounting surfaces before assembly
- Recheck hardware after the first short drive
- Look for rust rings between the rotor and hat
- Replace hardware that shows stretched or damaged threads
