Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262097MG is an Extreme Plus rear brake kit in Monster Green, built around a 1-piece Monoblock 6-piston, 6S caliper and a 14 inch, 2-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor. It is laid out for rear ends with a Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) bearing housing end and a 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt pattern.
Baer machines each caliper from US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging in Phoenix, Arizona, and finishes it with a powder coat. The backing plate serves as the caliper mount and also houses a modern 1-piece park brake shoe assembly, so the parking function sits inside the same package. Rotors arrive pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, and stainless braided hoses are included. Anyone comparing Ford 9 inch rear disc brake kits will find the axle flange, template and wheel requirements listed below.
Key features
- 1-piece Monoblock, 6-piston, 6S caliper in Monster Green powder coat
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals guarding against dust, weather and pressure
- 2-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Park brake shoe assembly housed in the backing plate
- Stainless braided hoses and NAS hardware included
Checking the rear axle first
Rear disc conversions depend on the axle housing ends more than on the caliper itself. Before ordering, inspect the flange, bearing housing end and bolt pattern on the existing axle, and note whether the vehicle uses a cable-operated park brake. Rear hubs wear over time, so look for bearing play and for a cracked or scored hub face before fitting anything new.
Park brake function is often overlooked during a rear upgrade. When the park brake is part of the rear system, the shoe assembly and any cables should be checked together, since a seized cable can prevent the shoes from releasing even when the hydraulics are sound. Rubber lines that have been in service for years are usually replaced at the same time as the calipers, and the bleeding sequence should be followed carefully.
- Inspect hubs and bearings for play before mounting
- Check cable condition if the park brake uses cables
- Replace pads together with the rotor set
- Bed in new pads before heavy braking

Vehicle fitment
It is built for the Ford 9 Inch Torino (Late Big) bearing axle flange and the 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt pattern, so match your axle housing ends to those figures. Use Baer’s N085P template to confirm clearance before installing.
Fit cannot be assured for every wheel style, so compare template N085P with the wheel you intend to run. Before ordering, confirm fit against your vehicle’s year, model and trim.
Installation notes
The rotors come pre-assembled, so the main setup check is wheel clearance against the 18.0 inch minimum wheel diameter. Park brake cables are not included, so a cable-actuated park brake will need its own cables. Rear brake work should be finished by someone who can bleed the hydraulic lines and confirm the park brake holds.
What’s included
The kit includes the Monster Green 6S caliper, the pre-assembled 2-piece rotors, the backing plate with its park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
