Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262189MG is a Pro Plus rear brake kit for Ford 9 inch rear axles fitted with early big bearing housing ends. It places a 6-piston, 6P fixed caliper in Monster Green over a 14.0 inch, 2-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor on a 5×5.00 bolt pattern, suited to owners who run wheels 18 inch or larger.
The caliper is manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona, and the caliper body is CNC machined from US sourced forged or billet aluminum. Rotors come pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware. The backing plate serves as the caliper mount and holds a one-piece park brake shoe assembly, so the parking brake shares that plate with the service brake.

Parking brake on a shared plate
On a rear disc setup with an integrated park brake shoe, the service brake and parking brake share the backing plate. That shared design keeps the mounting compact, but the plate, shoe and hardware all need periodic attention. Hold strength depends on the shoe lining, its adjustment and clean contact surfaces.
Park shoes usually wear more slowly than pads, yet a worn or misadjusted shoe can reduce how well a vehicle holds on a grade. Before each season of hard use, check lever travel and confirm the vehicle stays put when the parking brake is applied on a safe incline. Keep oil and grease away from the shoe lining at all times.
- Check lever travel after the first few drives
- Look for fluid or grease on the shoe surfaces
- Confirm backing plate bolts are tight to the specified torque
- Replace worn lining rather than shimming it

Vehicle fitment
It is built for Ford 9 inch rear axles with early big bearing housing ends, so the axle flange is the match point. Compare your axle flange to this kit before ordering, and confirm the model year before buying.
This kit is for the early big bearing flange, not the late big bearing (Torino) version. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Use template Q082P to check clearance against your wheel before mounting, because Baer cannot guarantee fit with every wheel style. Since the rotors are pre-assembled, handle the rotor and hub as a single unit. Have a qualified technician install the system.
What’s included
The kit includes the 6P caliper system with 14.0 inch 2-piece rotors pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, the backing plate with its one-piece park brake shoe assembly, and braided brake hoses with hardware.
