Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262186GB is a Pro Plus rear disc brake kit for Ford 9 inch early big bearing rear ends. A six-piston 6P caliper in Grabber Blue clamps a 13 inch two-piece rotor, and the 5×5.00 bolt pattern with 5 lug nuts is the mounting reference.
The Baer backing plate is both the caliper mount and the housing for a one-piece park brake shoe assembly, so one kit handles service and park braking. Staggered pistons aim to reduce uneven pad wear, and dual seals guard the caliper against dust, weather and pressure. Vehicle fitment is described separately below.
Key features
- Six-piston 6P fixed caliper with stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons designed to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- 13.0 inch vented two-piece rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor surface
- Powder coated finish on CNC machined parts of US-sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Steel braided hoses, DOT approved
Care and maintenance
Caliper seals keep dust, water and brake fluid where they belong, so a quick look at the caliper body after driving in mud or sand is worthwhile. Look for fluid weeping near the piston area, cracked boots or dirt packed around the pistons. A caliper that sticks can overheat one wheel and wear the pad unevenly on one side.
Two-piece rotors have hardware that should be checked at regular service. Retighten fasteners to the specification for your vehicle and check for play in the hub. Park brake shoes wear slowly, but their adjustment can drift, so test the park brake on a slope after the first few trips and adjust as needed.
- Clean the caliper and pad area after off-road use
- Inspect braided hoses for abrasion and bulging
- Check the rotor surface for deep grooves or cracking
- Test the park brake before relying on it
- Keep pad backing plates free of corrosion

Vehicle fitment
No vehicle year, make or model is given for this kit. It is intended for Ford 9 inch early big bearing rear axle housing ends, so match the axle flange and bolt pattern to your vehicle. Use template Q082H to confirm the wheel will clear the caliper.
Fit should be checked against your vehicle’s year, model and trim before buying. Verify the axle and wheel requirements against your setup.
Installation notes
Rotors are pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, which simplifies the rotor side of the job. Because the rotor suits wheels of 17 inch or larger, check clearance with template Q082H before mounting. Have a qualified technician perform rear brake work.
What’s included
The kit covers the Grabber Blue 6P caliper and backing plate, the pre-assembled 13.0 inch two-piece rotor, the one-piece park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with their hardware.
Not included: Park brake cables.
