Review of Kodiak Trailer Brakes - Disc Brake Kit - K2HR35DKG Video

To get the best braking power for your boat trailer you would want to have disc brakes on both axles. If you happen to be limited to one axle then you would want the rear outfitted. With a 5,000lb boat you likely have two 3,500lb torsion axles. The…

I believe you meant UFP A-75 with a Fulton swing-away tongue, and the reason I say that is there isn't a Fulton A75 brake actuator. So if you were indeed referencing a UFP A-75 actuator, we do have the correct replacement shock absorber: -…

The Dexter Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator #T47457007K does not have an access hole to insert a screwdriver to bleed the master cylinder. You will have to use the old method with a 2x4 and the safety chains. While the trailer is disconnected from the…

Thank you for all of the photos and information! From what I can see it looks like you have a #84 spindle but that inner bearing blew out so you should be able to remove that inner sleeve that looks like it's still on the spindle (next to where…

The first step to bleed the brakes is to have the Carlisle HydraStar Electric-Hydraulic Actuator #HBA16 activate so that hydraulic pressure is being made in your brake system. You can do this by having somebody step on your tow vehicle brakes while…

Yes the Kodiak disc brake kit part #K2HR35DKG that you referenced will fit 13 inch wheels and larger. We verified this with Kodiak.

There really isn't a particular maximum trailer weight that is used to determine when brakes need to be added to both axles of a tandem axle setup. While I do still recommend checking your local laws, I am also not aware of any general laws that…

Typically trailers will carry more of their weight on the front of the trailer, so you would want to put the brakes on the front axle as it will most likely carry more weight while braking. Also, when braking, weight will shift forward from the…

Yep, you got it, the bolt hole dimensions are 3" x 2-1/2" for the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator For Disc Brakes #DX29FR. This fits over a 3" x 4" tongue and the ball to opposite end length you stated does not matter, no.

That's a really good question, and there is a difference between the 7,500 lb Dexter DX7.5L A-60 actuators for disc brakes; the differences are both in what they fit, as well as their length. - 14" Long & Top-Mounted For 3" Wide…

In terms of capability the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout - Bolt On - Disc - 2" Ball - Zinc - 7.5K #DX89FR is a good replacement option. The problem is the design of your old TDE LP7000 which was installed inside the tongue…

What a lockout on a hydraulic brake coupler does is prevent the brakes from applying when you back the trailer. An electric lock out is tied into the reverse lamp circuit on the vehicle so that when the vehicle is shifted into reverse the solenoid in…
