Overview
The Baer Extreme Plus front brake system in Hugger Orange, part number 4261084HO, is a front disc brake kit for 2WD Ford F-150 and Ford Expedition trucks and the Lincoln Navigator, model years 1997 to 2003. Its core is a 1-piece Monoblock 6-piston, 6S caliper clamping a 14 inch, 2-piece slotted and drilled rotor with zinc plating.
Baer machines the caliper body in Phoenix, Az, from US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging and applies a powder coat in the Hugger Orange finish. The 14 inch rotor suits most wheels 18 inch or larger, though wheel styles vary widely, so check the wheel against the N045P template before buying.
Key features
- Monoblock 6-piston 6S caliper machined from 2618 aluminum forging
- Staggered pistons aimed at reducing uneven pad wear
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure protection
- 2-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Hugger Orange powder coated finish
Caring for the caliper finish
The powder coat on this caliper protects the aluminum body from road salt, moisture and grit. Brake heat can slowly dull a painted finish, so keep the area near the caliper clean and avoid harsh solvents. A soft brush and mild soap are usually enough for routine cleaning.
Small chips in the coating should be touched up before they spread. Once bare metal is exposed, corrosion can start under the finish and lift the coating. Keep brake dust cleaners and wire brushes away from the caliper face so the color stays even over time.
- Rinse wheels and calipers regularly during winter driving
- Use mild soap instead of strong degreasers
- Touch up chips with a matching coating
- Avoid abrasive pads on the caliper body
