Overview
The Baer Brakes Extreme Plus rear kit, part number 4262205HO, is a 14.0 inch disc brake system with a 1-piece monoblock 6S caliper in Hugger Orange. The rotor is a 2-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated design. The kit is intended for Ford 9 Inch Early Big Bearing housing ends on a 5×5.00 bolt pattern.
Six pistons press the pads from the monoblock body, and a 1-piece park brake shoe assembly is housed in the backing plate. The rotors come pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware. Because Baer cannot promise fit to every wheel style or manufacturer, run the N085P template against your wheels before selecting them.
Key features
- 1-piece monoblock 6S caliper with six pistons, powder-coated in Hugger Orange.
- Pistons and abutments are stainless steel, and the noise suppression clips are stainless as well.
- Staggered pistons help limit uneven pad wear.
- Dual seals guard against dust, weather and pressure.
- Machined from US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging, manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona.
- 2-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat.
- Rotors pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware.
- Stainless braided hoses supplied.
Keeping big rear brakes working
Larger rotors and monoblock calipers carry more heat, and stainless hardware helps keep fasteners from seizing as that heat cycles. Torque the caliper and rotor fasteners to the level given in the service manual for your axle, and recheck them after the first few drives, when new pads and rotors settle in.
Six-piston calipers with stainless pistons are less prone to sticking, but the slide pins and boots still need periodic cleaning and lubrication with brake-rated grease. Staggered pistons should wear pads evenly from side to side, so uneven wear points to a binding piston or sliding component that needs attention.
- Replace worn pads in matched axle sets
- Inspect braided stainless hoses for chafing at brackets
- Keep the rotor hat free of mud and road salt
- Check park brake shoe adjustment during routine service

Vehicle fitment
Fitment is limited to the Ford 9 Inch Early Big Bearing axle flange on a 5×5.00 bolt pattern. Before buying, check your vehicle’s year, model and trim against that flange.
Ford 9 inch axles with another bearing flange fall outside the fitment of this kit. Measure your rear axle flange and bolt pattern before ordering.
Installation notes
Check the 18.0 inch minimum wheel diameter against the N085P template before selecting wheels. Park brake cables are not supplied, so a cable set has to be obtained separately for the park brake shoe assembly. Brake work of this kind is best left to a qualified technician.
What’s included
The kit contains the Hugger Orange 6S monoblock caliper, the 14.0 inch 2-piece rotors with billet aluminum hats, the backing plate with its park brake shoe assembly, and braided stainless hoses with hardware.
