Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262093HO is a complete Extreme Plus rear brake system kit in Hugger Orange, built for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch rear ends with the small bearing axle flange and a 5×4.50/5×4.75 wheel bolt pattern. Each kit centers on a 1-piece Monoblock, 6-piston, 6S caliper that clamps a 14 inch, 2-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor. The 14 inch system fits most 18 inch or larger wheels.
The backing plate serves as the caliper mount and also houses a modern 1-piece park brake shoe assembly. The kit uses the popular D1247 pad type. The caliper is manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona, from CNC machined US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging.
Key features
- 1-piece Monoblock, 6-piston, 6S caliper with powder coated finish
- CNC machined from US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- 2-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Rotors pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware
- Stainless braided hoses and hardware included
Pads, rotors and wear
A rear big brake kit works as a system. The caliper clamps the rotor, and the pads take the wear, so pad choice and rotor condition affect how the brakes feel on the road and on steep trail descents. Keep pads matched to the caliper and check them at every wheel service, since uneven wear often shows up first on one side of the rear axle.
Rotors with slots and drilled faces help shed heat and water, but they also add surface area that can wear the pads faster when driven hard. Inspect the rotor face for cracks around the drilled holes and for a lip at the outer edge. Replace the rotor if the surface is grooved beyond what a light resurfacing can clean up.
- Check the pad thickness on both sides of each caliper
- Look for heat cracks around drilled holes
- Re-torque lug nuts after the first few drives

Vehicle fitment
Fitment is defined by the rear axle: the kit is matched to the Ford 8 Inch/9 Inch Small Bearing axle flange with a 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt pattern. Wheel styles vary, so compare the included template N085P with your wheel before installing.
Because the kit is matched to an 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 check how the parking brake will connect before the install begins. Brake work is safety-critical, so support the vehicle on jack stands before removing any wheel. Use template N085P to check clearance on the wheel you plan to run before the rotor goes on.
What’s included
The Hugger Orange 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.
