Perfect for Boat Trailers
If you tow a boat trailer, live in a coastal area, or experience a lot of snow, slush, and salt on the roads, you know how corrosive salt can be. Because disc brakes last longer than drum brakes, you should consider how things like rust might impact your trailer over time.
The Maxx coating on these brake kits offers great corrosion protection, even with frequent use in freshwater and saltwater. DeeMaxx brakes are coated with a proprietary zinc-flake coating to provide a level of rust and corrosion resistance thats comparable to traditional Dacromet. You can expose these brakes up to 1,000 hours of salt spray before noticing signs of rust. The strength of Maxx coating is one reason why DeeMaxx disc brakes are preferred by law enforcement agencies such as Texas State Patrol, U.S. Border Patrol, and U.S. Coast Guard.
The aerated design allows any water and moisture to escape and evaporate from the rotor, further reducing the risk of moisture causing rust and corrosion.
More Heat Dissipation
When brakes retain heat, they are more likely to experience brake fade, or loss of braking power. DeeMaxx addresses this problem by providing more ventilation near the center of the hub. Combining these with the conventional vented rotor design, this allows the brakes to disperse heat faster. DeeMaxx brakes will continue to offer excellent performance throughout their long life because they work to reduce burn spots on the rotors.
Get a Safer, More Comfortable Ride
Say goodbye to the days of your truck being pushed and pulled by your trailer. Disc brakes provide a safer, more comfortable ride than drum brakes. They offer shorter stopping distances and deliver consistent braking - even at highway speeds. So, you won't have to worry about things crashing around in your trailer or camper next time you reach unexpected traffic on the highway or debate if you can actually stop before that yellow light turns red.
Save Time and Money
More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes. Not only do disc brakes provide more controlled braking than drum brakes, but they also save you money by having fewer parts to maintain.
Unlike drum brakes, which have springs, magnets, and shoes that may need to be continually adjusted or replaced, disc brakes are virtually maintenance-free. There are no springs, cables, or other little components that you'll need to worry about failing.
The side-support design of the caliper mounting bracket puts all of the weight on the mounting bracket instead of on the bolts. This reduces premature wear and extends the life of the bolts, further ensuring optimal performance.
DeeMaxx provides simple instructions laser etched on the back of the calipers. These instructions offer guidance for installing the calipers and bleeding the brakes.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
If you want to remount your existing wheels after installing these brakes, you'll need a kit that offers the same bolt pattern. To determine the bolt pattern, count the number of bolt holes (or lug nuts) on your trailer's wheel. This will give you the first number in the pattern. To find the second number, just measure the distance between a bolt hole and the bolt hole across from it.
For example on wheels with an even number of bolt holes: 6 on 5-1/2" means 6 bolt holes with 5-1/2" from the center of 1 hole to the center of the hole across from it.
And with an odd number of bolt holes: 5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" from the center of 1 hole to the farthest edge of one of the 2 farthest bolt holes.
All-in-one Brake Replacement
DeeMaxxs integral brake kits combine the brake hub and rotor into a single cast iron piece. Unlike a slip-on assembly, the one-piece setup makes installation easier since the hub and the rotor are combined. However, this can lead to some extra costs when replacing parts. If either the hub or the rotor needs to be replaced further down the road, the entire piece will be replaced.
Generally, we recommend replacing the brake pads and the rotors at the same time. When you mix and match new parts with used ones, you may save money in the short term, but this has been known to cause problems in the long term, such as uneven stopping power, brake bedding and hot spots. Always confirm that your rotors are in good condition with no rust, corrosion, or grooves before deciding to replace only the brake pad or only the rotor. And always replace parts on both sides of the same axle for balanced braking power.

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a quick look at this D-Max Brake Assembly. This is going to allow you to replace one brake for your trailers 7000 pound capacity axle. Our rotor here is 13 inches in diameter, and you can see we have the 8 on 6 and a half inch bolt pattern with the half inch wheel stud diameter on this. So those dimensions are typical for assemblies that work on your 16 inch and larger wheels. These do have the integrated hub and rotor assembly as well as the brake caliper and our caliper mounting brackets here on the back side.
You can see, these are going to have your 5 bolt brake flange configuration, so that you can get it mounted onto your axle pretty easily. We do also have the races pre-installed on the front, the inside, and the outside. We're also going to get the bearings and the seal as well as the cap. If you're needing any of the details on those races, bearings, or seal and cap, those are available, as you can see on the screen there. So, to make sure that this is going to work for you, this is also going to include the lug nuts for your half inch studs there, so you can hold your wheel assembly in place, as well as hardware to get this mounted onto your axle.
This does have a matte coat finish on the hub and rotor as well as the caliper and caliper mounting brackets, and that's going to offer excellent rust and corrosion resistance. It's got a salt spray rating of over 1000 hours, so it is going to be comparable to your tactical matte finish. These are going to be great for your boat trailers or trailers used in coastal areas or on heavily treated roads where there's going to be a lot of contact with salt and other corrosive materials. And you can see these, this does have these drain holes here on the side that's going to allow water to drain more easily. So it's going to be especially great for your boat trailers and that sort of thing.
So, obviously, these brakes are going to be a great option for you, especially with the single option. Definitely going to be a great replacement for a brake assembly on your 7000 pound capacity axle. So if you are looking just to replace a single one, this is going to be a great way to go. Of course, it is always better to replace them in pairs so that both sides are going to be braking equally. And we do have kits available that give you two brake assemblies, so one for each side.
So if you are looking to replace both, I would recommend going with that route. That completes our look for today. Thank you, and I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.
