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 brake pads will naturally wear down, so eventually you'll have to replace them. But these pads are also way easier to replace than drum brake shoes. The caliper - where the pads are housed - is located on the outside of the brake assembly. This means you just have to remove that one part to replace the brake pads rather than having to remove the entire assembly like you would with drum brakes.

This particular kit can save you time and money over other disc brakes on the market as well. A slip-on rotor may be easier to install initially, but water can find its way between the rotor and your existing hub, causing uneven rotor wear or runout. With a 1-piece hub-and-rotor assembly, water and debris can't get in to cause any corrosion or contamination.


In addition, vented rotors, like these, disperse heat faster than non-vented rotors. When brakes retain heat, they are more likely to experience brake fade, or loss of braking power. So even if you take your boat or camper out every weekend, these trailer brakes will continue to offer excellent performance throughout their long life.


mounting bracket supporting disc brake

Kodiak disc brakes have a unique caliper mounting bracket as well. The side-support design 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.


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.


diagram showing how to measure odd bolt pattern

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.

Video Transcript for Review of Kodiak Trailer Brakes - 13" Hub/Rotor - Dacromet - 7,000 lbs - Disc Brakes - KOD34VR

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're going to take a quick look at this Kodiak 13-inch hub and rotor disc brake assembly set. This is going to allow you to upgrade your trailer from drum brakes to disc brakes so that you can experience the superior performance that comes along with having the disc brakes. Having the two brake assemblies is going to allow us to upgrade a single Dexter axle with an 8,000 pound capacity and the number 42 spindles. Our rotors are 13 inches in diameter, and as you can see, we've got the eight on 6 1/2" bolt pattern, so these are going to work for your wheels that are 16 inches and larger. Our hub and rotors, as well as our calipers and our mounting brackets, are all E-coated, so they're going to resist rust and corrosion with a 250 to 350-hour salt spray rating.

So that's going to provide adequate rust protection for your campers, car haulers, or utility trailers. If you're looking to upgrade to disc brakes for a saltwater boat trailer, or a trailer that's going to be in a lot of contact with road salt throughout the year, this probably isn't the best set for you. I would recommend more of a Dacromet finish or a stainless steel construction. Those are going to hold up better in those sort of environments. But if your trailer's not going to be experiencing a lot of contact with salt, these are going to do a good job for you.

And upgrading your trailer from drum brakes to disc brakes is going to have several different benefits. It's going to dramatically shorten your stopping distance, and it's also going to provide a smoother more controlled ride for you, so you're not going to have that pushing and pulling feeling that you're probably used to with your drum brakes. These do have the ceramic brake pads that are going to increase your stopping power. They also have a large 2 1/2" diameter stainless steel piston that provides fast responsive braking for you, so this is going to be a major improvement in performance over your drum brakes. And you're also going to have less maintenance with these, 'cause they have the one piece hub and rotor assembly.

It's going to help reduce the chance of uneven rotor wear. On the side here, we do have a vented design that's going to help dissipate your heat faster to prevent premature brake pad wear, and these are a high quality automotive-grade construction, so they are going to be very long lasting, so it's going to help save you time and money over the long run, not having all those small components that need to be replaced like your drum brakes do. The one caveat with disc brakes is that they do require a higher line pressure, so you're going to need to make sure you have a brake actuator and brake lines that are rated for 1,500 psi or higher in order to activate these disc brakes. That's pretty uncommon for trailers that have drum brakes currently, so it is going to take a little bit of effort to upgrade your whole setup if you are upgrading. And so make sure that you have those.

We do have them available here at etrailer.com. They are sold separately and so they're not included in this kit, but this kit will include two of these E-coated, cast iron hub and rotor assemblies with the eight pre-installed 5/8" inch wheel bolts on each one. You're also going to get 16 of these 5/8" zinc-plated steel lug nuts to hold your wheel in place. You'll get the two E-coated cast iron calipers, as well as the two E-coated ductile iron caliper mounting brackets back here. So as you can see, these mounting brackets do have the four-bolt brake flange configuration, so it is going to be very easy to get mounted on your axle. I do want to point out that I've got these displayed on top here just for balance, but when you go to install them you'll actually be installing them on the side. That side support design puts all the weight on the mounting bracket instead of on your mounting bolts, so it's going to help your bolts last longer for you. You are going to get four of these stainless steel caliper mounting bolts as well. You're also going to get your inner and outer races that are pre-installed in the system, as well as your inner and outer bearings to make sure that everything's rotating properly for you. This system is oil lubricated, so you're going to get your two oil seals for the inside, your two oil caps for the outside, and one eight ounce bottle of synthetic bearing oil to make sure that everything stays lubricated, and is moving around properly. So like I said, not a great solution if you are going to be experiencing a lot of contact with salt. We do have other setups that have the Dacromet or the stainless steel construction, but if your trailer doesn't come in contact with salt a whole lot, this is going to be a great upgrade over your drum breaks, giving you better performance, less maintenance. So, great overall upgrade for you. That completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Thanks for watching.
