Bearing 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 5-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.

9/16" Wheel bolts are included with this 2-assembly brake kit. Dacromet-plated rotors, calipers and mounting brackets fit 7,000-lb axles and 16" and larger wheels. The 13" rotor features an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern.These items were ordered to convert an older boat trailer from air over hydraulic drum to electric over hydraulic disk on a triple axle set-up. Great stopping power, oil bath hub, 9/16” studs, and dacromet coated. This set-up is for a speed boat that goes in and out of salt water as well as fresh water all the time. Choose oil bath huds because they seem to keep water out better than regular grease huds plus also seem to hold up better and provide greater mileage between bearing service than grease bearings.
I purchased most all my materials to put Disc Brakes on my 2011 Heartland Big Country from etrailer.com.
I ordered Rotors, Calipers,Brake Hose's, Bearings, Seals and Spare Brake Parts from them.
What a wonderful experience that was.
The customer service was unbelievable.
If I had a question I always received the correct answer.
I had a couple returns because of mistakes I had made in ordering, and they were handled quickly and courteously.
I highly recommend etrailer.com
If your smart, you will explain to the customer representative what you are trying to do, and they will lead you down the right path the first time.
Enjoy the experience, I did.
This is a first class company with first class employees.
Don't be afraid to order from this company.

Replaced my electric drum brakes with E/H disc, what a difference. I had to turn the brake controller way down. One year later: still very happy with my switch to disc brakes.

Great
these were installed on my Landmark fifth wheel. you have to know what you are doing to install the hydraulic brake actuator and hydraulic lines. But WOW what a difference. I think that my Landmark has more braking power than my pickup truck now. thanks
I installed this product on my fifth wheel RV about a year ago. I tow with a f350 drw truck and was always concerned with the way it stopped. Now there are no issues. Best upgrade I have ever made. Product was excellent. Product arrived as promised. customer service was great. Thanks etrailer
Great Disc Brake System replacing electric magnetic drum brakes on my triple axle Toy Hauler.
Great customer service while ordering to ensure I received the correct product. Brakes seem to be great quality
