Overview
The Baer Brakes Extreme Plus rear brake set, part number 4262205GB, uses a 6S 6-piston monoblock caliper finished in Grabber Blue alongside 14.0 inch two-piece rotors. The kit is for Ford 9 Inch Early Big Bearing housing ends on a 5×5.00 bolt pattern, which means five lugs per wheel.
Park brake hardware is part of the design: a 1-piece park brake shoe assembly sits inside the backing plate, which also mounts the caliper. Rotors come with NAS high grade stainless hardware already fitted. Baer cannot guarantee wheel fit for every style, so use the N085P template when comparing wheels.
Key features
- Monoblock 6S caliper, one piece, six pistons, in Grabber Blue.
- Staggered pistons aimed at reducing uneven pad wear.
- Powder-coated caliper finish, with dual seals for dust, weather and pressure.
- Machined from 2618 aluminum forging sourced in the US, made in Phoenix, Arizona.
- Slotted, drilled, zinc-plated two-piece rotor with billet aluminum hat.
- Stainless hardware comes pre-assembled on the rotors.
- Braided stainless hoses are part of the kit.
Rear brake care and checks
Rear brake upgrades change how the axle handles braking load, so the rest of the rear end should be checked as a set. A larger two-piece rotor and a multi-piston caliper move more heat into the hub, bearings and seals, which makes a regular inspection of those parts worthwhile after installation. Rotor faces and slots collect debris and should be looked at during every brake service.
Park brake function depends on the shoe, cable and adjuster working together. Because cables are sold separately with this kit, plan to source a matching cable set before the rear end returns to service. Worn park brake shoes show up as weak hold on a grade, uneven rotor contact, or a lever that travels further than it used to.
- Inspect hub bearings and seals after the first heat cycles
- Check brake fluid for moisture and replace it on schedule
- Re-torque lug nuts after the first wheel removal
- Look for scoring on the rotor face and slots

Vehicle fitment
Fit is set by the Ford 9 Inch Early Big Bearing axle flange on a 5×5.00 bolt pattern. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
This kit is made for the Early Big Bearing flange, so other Ford 9 inch flange types do not match it. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Confirm the wheel diameter is at least 18.0 inch and run the N085P template against it. Park brake cables are not part of the kit, so the park brake shoe assembly will need a separate cable set. Work this involved calls for a qualified technician.
What’s included
This kit covers the Grabber Blue 6S caliper, the 14.0 inch two-piece rotors, the backing plate with its park brake shoe assembly, plus the braided stainless hoses and hardware.
