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.
The integral hub-and-rotor is made from cast iron, matching SAE specifications. Cast iron is ideal for high-temperature operations and offers a favorable friction coefficient to ensure adequate stopping power. Kodiak's rotors are vented to effectively dissipate heat, dramatically reducing the incidence of heat-related damage. Furthermore, machined disc brakes minimize the chance of contamination between the hub and rotor, resulting in excellent performance and long life.
Kodiak calipers are constructed of cast iron to prevent flexing. 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 ductile iron 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.

These brakes work very good, I feel much safer with these disc brakes than I did with the old drum type. I’m having trouble getting pictures but hopefully this from your work.
I have been wanting to put discs on a tandem axle 16k gooseneck tilt bed trailer we use to haul a 10k tractor and 9k skid steer. i have been wanting to put these on for years. Tired of the electric brakes not working after they repeatedly fail and when they do work, it is only for a couple of weeks. They require frequent adjusting to have piss pour performance. I am looking forward to having dependable brakes, no more adjusting and the trailer brakes actually participate in stopping the trailer. They appear well built and are heavy duty, substantial metal.
I have a 10 ton dump and 30ft 10 ton flatbed that I will do next.
Fits well. Should be nice upgrade. Verified lug pattern was correct
One of the hubs shipped to me actually had larger and longer studs which differed from the rest of them. I had to purchase other ones locally and replace them to make them work. Otherwise, the order was great. Just wish the boxes would come more intact as they were mostly broke even inside the bigger boxes, the smaller boxes inside were broken.

I will have our customer service team reach out to you.
Everything was complete and easy to follow instructions. Single person job, took me 2 days to install the complete system. 1st day was the four rotors/calipers, 2nd day was the pump, lines, and bleeding the system. Easily could have been a 1 day job if all the tools were in place and a bit more dedication. Road test hasn't been completed as yet but experience with disk brakes on a previous trailer give me great confidence that it will be better than the electric I removed.

Excellent product. Made a world of difference in the braking power with this new system
