Overview
Fire Red 4262205FR is Baer’s Extreme Plus rear brake package with a 6S six-piston monoblock caliper and a 14.0 inch two-piece rotor. It is built for Ford 9 Inch Early Big Bearing housing ends on a 5×5.00 bolt pattern and suits a 5-lug axle.
The caliper mounts to a backing plate that also houses a 1-piece park brake shoe assembly. The rotors arrive pre-assembled with stainless hardware. Wheel fit varies by style, so run the N085P template against your wheels first.
Key features
- 6S six-piston monoblock caliper finished in Fire Red with a powder-coated surface.
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips.
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure.
- Staggered pistons to minimize uneven pad wear.
- Caliper CNC machined from 2618 aluminum forging; manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona.
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat.
- Stainless braided hoses and hardware are included.
Setting up a new rear brake
A caliper change at the rear is a good time to review the whole braking system. Front and rear balance matters, so a stronger rear setup can change how the car stops under load. Check the front pads and rotors for wear before the new rear parts go on, rather than after the first trip.
Six-piston calipers rely on clean, smooth slide surfaces. Remove dirt and old grease from the caliper mounting area, lubricate contact points with brake-rated grease, and confirm the pistons retract evenly when the pads are reinstalled. Pads should be bedded in gradually so an even layer transfers to the rotor.
- Inspect the front brakes before finishing the rear
- Clean caliper mounting surfaces before installing pads
- Bed in new pads using a gradual stop sequence
- Use the stainless hardware supplied with the rotors

Vehicle fitment
The fitment reference is the Ford 9 Inch Early Big Bearing axle flange with a 5×5.00 bolt pattern. Compare that flange with your rear axle before choosing this kit.
Ford 9 inch axles with a different flange fall outside the fitment of this kit. Before buying, match your vehicle’s year, model and trim to the flange.
Installation notes
Park brake cables are not supplied, so cables for the park brake shoe assembly must be obtained separately. Use the N085P template to check the 18.0 inch minimum wheel diameter against your wheels. Brake work like this suits an experienced installer.
What’s included
The package includes the Fire Red 6S caliper, the 14.0 inch two-piece rotors with billet aluminum hats, the backing plate and park brake shoe assembly, and braided stainless hoses with hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
