Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262093MG is an Extreme Plus rear brake kit in Monster Green for rear ends with a Ford 8 inch/9 inch small bearing axle flange. It centers on a 14.0 inch vented two-piece rotor squeezed by a 6-piston 6S monoblock caliper, and Baer houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly inside its backing plate.
Baer manufactures the caliper in Phoenix, Arizona, CNC machining it from US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging and finishing it in powder coat. The kit uses the D1247 pad type and comes with stainless braided hoses. Matching the axle flange and bolt pattern is the first step before choosing this kit.
Key features
- Monoblock 6-piston 6S caliper machined from US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons designed to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals guarding against dust, weather and pressure
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Rotors pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware
- Backing plate serves as the caliper mount and houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly
- Powder coated finish in Monster Green
Inspecting a rear disc brake setup
Rear disc brakes do less of the stopping than the fronts on most vehicles, but they carry load on every stop and see heat during long descents or towing. Over time the pads wear, the outer edge of the rotor can develop a lip, and caliper pistons or slide pins can stick. Checking pad thickness and the rotor surface at each tire rotation makes these changes easier to spot early.
Parking brake function deserves its own check. On a park brake shoe assembly like the one housed in this backing plate, lining wear changes the adjustment over time, so a lever with extra travel is worth inspecting. Look over hydraulic lines and fittings for seepage, and keep the fluid at its proper level.
After any pad or rotor change, bed the new pads with a series of moderate stops so the friction layer transfers evenly. Torque the wheel fasteners in a star pattern and recheck them after the first few drives.

Vehicle fitment
This kit is built for rear axles with a Ford 8 inch/9 inch small bearing axle flange and a 5×4.50/5×4.75, 5 lug wheel pattern. Those two points are the main fit checks to make before ordering.
Rear ends with a different axle flange or a different bolt pattern are not covered by the flange and pattern stated here. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are not included, so the park brake cabling must be sourced separately. Rotors arrive pre-assembled with their hardware, and Baer’s N085P template is the tool for checking wheel clearance before mounting. Rear brake work should be left to a builder or shop experienced with hydraulic brake systems.
What’s included
The kit includes the 6S monoblock caliper, the 14 inch two-piece rotors with billet aluminum hats and stainless hardware, the Baer backing plate with its park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: Park brake cables.
