• Are Kodiak 225 Brake Pads Interchangeable With the Kodiak 204 Brake Calipers?
  According to Kodiak the 225 and 204 calipers and pads are not interchangeable. As they have discontinued the 204 calipers you will want to upgrade to the 225 Caliper # KDBC225DAC. This particular caliper is Dacromet coated for corrosion resistance. We also have a Stainless # KDBC225S if you will be using around salt water. These will use either the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads # K225CP and we also have them in Stainless # K225CPSS for better corrosion resistance as well to match with the...

• Can Dot 5 Brake Fluid Be Used with Rebuilt Kodiak 225 Brake Calipers?
  The Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs # KDBC225S and similar finishes will require the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper Rebuild Kit for 3,500 lb to 6,000 lb Trailer Brakes # KDBC225KIT which will give you all the seals, bolts, bushings, and piston needed.

• How to Convert a Kodiak Over-the-Hub Brake Kit to a Stainless Kit for a 3,500 lb Axle
  For a stainless steel caliper to match what you currently have you would want the part # KDBC225S. For the stainless rotor with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, part # KR10S. For the stainless mounting bracket part # KCMB10RS. All of these components have the same dimensions as your current setup so they would clear your 13 inch rim.

• Preventative Maintenance for Disc Brake Calipers in Salt Water to Prevent Piston From Sticking
  The best maintenance you can do is to keep them rinsed like you are doing. Unfortunately there is nothing else that can be done to prevent them from sticking when it comes to salt water since they are carbon steel and a magnet for corrosion. According to Kodiak, the best thing you can do to prevent them from sticking is to get the stainless steel calipers like the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper - Stainless Steel - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs # KDBC225S.

• Parts Needed to Add a Third Brake Axle to a Trailer
  To tee into your current brake setup you would need the part # T0778500. This would need to get added to the main brake feed line of your trailer. From there you would want to use a single axle trailer brake line kit like the part # DM5402. Basically everything from this kit would get used minus the long brake line. Basically the tee that you add in will go to the new brake assemblies and then using a flex line like part # BH-3MFS-1 back to the original axle lines. For stainless rotors...

• Troubleshooting Disc Brakes Heating Up Axle When Used
  Typically having air in your brake lines will cause poor braking. It sounds like you have poor braking since you mentioned the pads are only touching a small bit but as they are heating up the hub it sounds like the brakes are also dragging when they should not be. These issues could be caused by either a faulty Actuator # T43397007K or issue with a Caliper # KDBC225S. If you are only experiencing the issue on one of the hubs then the issue is likely to do with the caliper and could be...

• Will a Kodiak 250 Disc Brake Caliper Fit in Place of a Kodiak 225 Caliper
  You should not have any problem fitting the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper, # KDBC250S, in place of the # KDBC225S. The major difference is the piston size (1/4 larger on the 250). The 225 is designed for 3,500 to 6,000 pound axles whereas the 250 is designed for 7,000 to 8,000 pound axles. If the actuator you are using is not rated high enough then it could have problem pushing the piston to apply the brakes.
