Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262093GB is an Extreme Plus rear brake system kit finished in Grabber Blue for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch rear axles that use the small bearing flange and a 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt pattern. The core of the kit is a 1-piece Monoblock, 6-piston, 6S caliper clamped onto a 14 inch, 2-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor, which Baer says fits most wheels of 18 inch or larger.
Baer designed the backing plate to act as the caliper mount and to house a 1-piece park brake shoe assembly. The pads are the D1247 type, and the caliper is manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona, from CNC machined US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging.
Key features
- Powder coated 1-piece Monoblock, 6-piston, 6S caliper
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons designed to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals protecting against dust, weather and pressure
- Billet aluminum hat on the 2-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor
- Rotors pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware
- Stainless braided hoses and hardware included
Brake fluid and hose care
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air over time, and that moisture lowers the boiling point of the fluid. Replacing a caliper and hose set is a practical point to bleed the whole system, so the pedal feels firm and consistent from the first stop.
Stainless braided hoses resist abrasion better than standard rubber lines, but the inner tube can still age. Inspect each hose for bulges, cracks near the crimped ends and any seepage, and replace a hose that shows damage rather than waiting for a leak to appear.
Use the fluid type the vehicle’s brake system requires, and never mix fluid grades. Bleed from the farthest caliper toward the master cylinder and keep the reservoir topped up during the process so air does not return to the lines.
- Check hoses for bulges and crimp fitting seepage
- Bleed the system after any caliper or hose change
- Keep the reservoir topped up while bleeding
- Replace fluid at the interval the vehicle requires

Vehicle fitment
The kit is matched to the Ford 8 Inch/9 Inch Small Bearing axle flange and a 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt pattern rather than to particular vehicles. Fit with every wheel style is not guaranteed, so compare the N085P template with the wheel you plan to run.
Because fitment follows the axle flange rather than a model year, check your axle housing and bolt pattern against these specifications. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are not included, so line up the parking brake hardware before the install starts. Brake work is safety-critical, so support the vehicle securely on jack stands before removing any wheel. Use the N085P template to check clearance on the wheel you plan to run before the rotor is mounted.
What’s included
The Grabber Blue kit includes the 6S caliper, 14.0 inch rotors pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, the backing plate with its 1-piece park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
