Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262181MG is a Pro Plus 14.0 inch rear brake system kit in Monster Green for Ford 8 Inch/9 Inch small bearing rear axle housing ends with a 5×5.00 bolt pattern. It suits owners whose axle flange is the small bearing type and whose wheels are at least 18.0 inch in minimum diameter.
A 6-piston fixed caliper clamps a two-piece, slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor that rides on a billet aluminum hat. Baer’s backing plate carries the caliper and houses a modern one-piece park brake shoe assembly. The system uses the popular D0731 pad type, and stainless braided hoses and hardware come with it.
Key features
- Monster Green powder coated 6P caliper with fixed six-piston design
- Staggered piston layout cuts down on uneven pad wear
- Pistons, abutments and noise clips are stainless steel
- Seals guard against dust, weather and pressure with dual protection
- Two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated 14.0 inch rotor
- Each rotor comes with NAS high grade stainless hardware already fitted
- Forged or billet US-sourced aluminum, CNC machined for the caliper
Small bearing axle basics
Small bearing axle housings carry a smaller wheel bearing than the early big bearing style, so the flange and hub design differ between the two. That difference is why the axle flange should be identified before any rear brake kit is chosen. Measuring the bolt pattern and checking the hub face against the kit are simple steps that prevent wasted returns.
A 14 inch rear system on a small bearing housing also has to clear the wheel. Larger rotors leave less room behind the spokes, so the wheel style and the template check go together. The park brake shoe in the backing plate is worth inspecting during any rear service, because it works in the same area as the caliper.
- Identify the axle flange type before ordering
- Match the bolt pattern to the wheel before mounting
- Inspect the park brake shoe during rear service
- Replace pads and rotors together to keep braking even

Vehicle fitment
It is built for the Ford 8 Inch/9 Inch small bearing axle flange, with a 5×5.00 bolt pattern and an 18.0 inch minimum wheel diameter. Those details define what it can match, so confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
This is the small bearing flange, so it is not the Ford 9 Inch early big bearing version. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Compare the Q082P template against the wheel you intend to use, since wheel styles vary and the template is the reference Baer provides. The rotor arrives already assembled with its stainless hardware, and the park brake shoe assembly is seated inside the backing plate. Park brake cables are not part of the kit, so plan to source them if the parking brake will be used.
What’s included
Included are the 6P fixed caliper, the pre-assembled 14.0 inch two-piece rotor, the backing plate with its one-piece park brake shoe assembly, stainless braided hoses and the stainless hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
