Bearing, Race and Seal Information
More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes, and with good reason. Disc brakes deliver consistent braking - even at highway speeds - unlike drum brakes, which often show a substantial drop in braking torque at higher speeds. In addition, disc brakes offer a substantially shorter stopping distance than drum brakes.
Disc brake calipers have only one moving part, rather than the many found in drum brakes. This means that there are fewer parts to maintain, fewer parts to get damaged and fewer parts to have to repair or replace, thus reducing maintenance costs.
Kodiak calipers are constructed of stainless steel to prevent flexing and rust. Less flex means more braking torque, resulting in smooth, even braking every time. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel piston is 30 percent larger than standard pistons, ensuring shorter stopping distance and increased torque. In addition, the unique low-drag design of Kodiak's calipers allows the piston to retract farther than in most standard models, giving you a cooler-running brake.
Designed for axles with 4-bolt brake flange configurations, the included mounting brackets are made of heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant stainless steel that is embossed to provide additional threading for guide bolts. The added thread strength ensures a tighter, more secure connection between the caliper and bracket. Another unique feature of Kodiak's brackets is the side-support angle, which guarantees that the load is carried by the bracket, rather than the bolts.

Trailer disc brake kit includes a single, rustproof hub-and-rotor assembly with stainless caliper and mounting bracket. Assembly fits 14" and larger wheels and axles with 4-bolt flanges.I purchase a set of these disc brake conversions for a boat trailer. The instructions were almost not needed, that's how easy the kit went together. I would recommend these to anyone looking to upgrade to disc brakes. I also replaced the master cylinder.
The break flange bolts and nuts are not stainless or galvanized. They are zinc coated carbon steel which will be greatly degraded by rust if used in saltwater for just a season or 2 not to mention that you must take everything off in order to change these bolts of you find them to be less than par. Personally I think it would be better to include at least a step up to galvanized bolts and nuts especially at this price. Nonetheless it seems to be a well built product so far. Only time will tell though.

I agree. I purchased stainless hardware from my local Ace Hardware when I installed my kit.
A year later and still working great, still no corrosion issues. Much better than before!

It has been a year since I installed the disc brakes. They are working awesome still. My only complaint is I didnt install them sooner.
