Diagram

Constructed of tough, weatherproof extruded aluminum, the Hydrastar electric-over-hydraulic brake actuator will give you years of trailer-stopping performance. The actuator installs on your trailer, then splices into its wiring and connects to its hydraulic brake line. Reacting to electric signals sent from your in-cab electric brake controller when you apply the brakes in your tow vehicle, the Hydrastar applies pressure to the hydraulic system, thus activating the trailer's brakes. You get responsive hydraulic braking, which you control conveniently from inside your vehicle with your electric brake controller. The Hydrastar actuator meets all Department of Transportation regulations and complies with CFR-393 federal braking requirements.


Not all electric brake controllers work with this hydraulic brake actuator. See the following table to determine compatibility with common models of electric brake controllers. Certain models require the Hydrastar control adapter module (HBA-CAM; sold separately) to work with the Hydrastar electric-over-hydraulic brake actuator. For best performance, it is recommended that you use an aftermarket electric brake controller rather than an OEM factory-installed controller.

As of now I'm very excited to put this new product on my trailer.



by:

These are the pics I took when I was done. Took two days to do but we'll worth it. I took pics after first load and now it feels good to actually stop with out wondering if the magnets were going to fail. I appreciate the fast shipping . The only thing I had to pick up was 25 feet of brake line,15 feet was not going to be anough . Other then this. I love it. Thank you very much and God bless



by:

Absolutely amazing. All the precision control of electric brakes with the advantages of hydraulic disc brakes. It was a relatively straight forward installation. I paired the Hydrastar actuater with Kodiac 4 wheel disc brakes. My boat and trailer weigh about 9,500 pounds. I've never had braking in a trailer this good before. I actually had to turn the sensitivity down on the cab controller. Totally worth it. I highly recommend the Hydrastar actuater, especially when paired with Kodiac 4 wheel disc brakes.



by:

Installed on my 2009 Keystone Fuzion FZ302. I was very impressed by the fit and finish. What a difference in braking!! I don't think I will ever own a trailer with electric drums again. I was able to install all four in about 6 hours. This was taking my time to ensure all clearances were exact. The only thing I ran into was the sticky weights on my 16" wheels just touched the caliber. I had the wheels rebalanced with clip weights on the inside and we are now all good.



by:

In the video the last box is the one with the hydraulic pump, the only one that had no damage because it was well packed, good job



by:

Installation went easy after watching their installation video brake lines were easy to install had to purchase extra fittings (purchased through E TRAILER) to make it fit the way the way needed



by:

Great Product, I installed a four disc brake system in one afternoon and the pump works great. Now my 40ft. trailer stops my truck.



by:

Parts look good only 2 bolts missing



by:

very easy to install , well build . But need to by extra fluid lines, 40 feet trailer will need more fluid line.

Pretty easy installation

  • Cushioned Suspension Equalizer and Disc Brake Kit Recommendation for 2016 Sequoia 38QRE w 7k Axle
    The Lippert Equa Flex system like the part # LC279688 would be a great choice to help smooth out the suspension of your trailer. You would need to match the equalizer to the dimensions of the equalizer you currently have. I attached a picture of the equalizer dimensions. Yours should match this since this kit is designed to work with axle capacities like yours but I would still recommend you measure first. The important dimensions are the vertical (5 inches) and the horizontal (7-1/2 inches). Disc...

  • Parts Needed to Convert 5,200 lb Trailer Axles of 2006 Karavan Trailer to EOH Disc
    While we don't have a kit that includes everything for a tandem 5,200 lb trailer we do have all the components separately like the part # K2HR526D for the hubs and rotors. Then for the rest of the components you'd just need the part # CAR-HBA16-2. The HydraStar kits have the best actuators due to how quick they respond as well as the most reliable.

  • Converting From Drum to Disc Brakes On a 2020 Grand Design Momentum with 7K Axles
    In order to convert the electric drum brakes on a 2020 Grand Design Momentum to hydraulic disc you can indeed use the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit part # K2HR79 which have oil bath lubrication. That said, you will need a list of other components which I have attached for you. Disc Brakes: part # K2HR79 (1 Per Axle) Inner Bearing: part # 25580 (2 Per Axle) Outer Bearing: part # 02475 (2 Per Axle) Seal: part # 9103309 (2 Per Axle) Brake Actuator and Lines: part # CAR-HBA16-2 (1) part # 9579-01...

  • Disc Brake Kit Recommendation for a 2006 Landmark Fifth Wheel Trailer
    The races are included with the # K2HRCM1337-9DAC, but the bearings and seals are sold separately. For bearings you would need the # 25580 and # 14125A and for seals you would the part # RG06-090 that you said that you have. This would work well with the Hydrastar Kit part # CAR-HBA16-2 as well.

  • Trailer Axles and Electric Over Hydraulic Disc Trailer Brakes that Offer Best Ride for 14K Trailer
    For a 7,000 pound trailer axle I recommend a Timbren system, # TASR7KS01. This is actually an axle-less system with its own built in suspension. Since there is no axle beam connecting one side to the other it creates independent suspension at all the wheels. For 2 axles you would need 2 kits. For compatible disc brakes I recommend Kodiak dacromet disc brake kit # K2HRCM1337-9DAC. This kit is for 1 axle so to put brakes on both axles you would need 2 kits. For as much weight as you are...

  • Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator For Disc Brakes to Replace Surge Brake Actuator
    There is not a direct replacement for the LP7000 actuator for disc brakes, and to answer your question, electric over hydraulic braking is better in really every single way. While hydraulic brakes give better stopping power than electric brakes, electric brakes are more responsive, so what an EOH actuator does is combine the two, giving you the best possible stopping power. So I always recommend going electric over hydraulic if possible, and for disc brakes you can use the following: -...

    For a Kodiak disc brake kit confirmed as a fit for the 7k axles of your 2017 Montana 3000RE you would want the part # K2HR712D which will fit the axles. For an electric over hydraulic setup you then would want the part # HS381-9067 which comes with all of the wiring as well.

    Since you have Dexter 7,000 lb axles the Kodiak Disc Brake kit part # K2HR712D is the correct kit. You'd need a kit for each of your axles that you want disc brakes on. This kit is also Dacromet coated which means it will resist corrosion for a very long time. You'll also need bearings part # 25580 and # 14125A as well as the seals part # RG06-070.

These fit the industry standard number 42 spindles. For this you will need the inner bearing # 25580 and outer bearing # 02475 along with oil seal # 10-63. I recommend you check the bearing diameters to make sure they match your spindles. For your disc brakes you will need a different actuator capable...

    You can certainly switch from electric drum brakes to disc brakes on your trailer. You will want to confirm the weight capacity of your axles. It is likely that they are 6,000 pound axles, but you will want to double check. In addition to disc brake kits with hubs and rotors, you will also need an actuator and to run brake lines on your trailer.

  • Recommended Disc Brake Conversion for AL-KO 5,200 Lb Axle
    The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit part # K2HR526D will work great on AL-KO 5,200 Lb Axles, you'll just need one kit per axle. The HydraStar Electric-Hydraulic Actuator part # CAR-HBA16-2 and Bearing Kit for Trailer Brakes with 12" Hub/Rotor part # DBRKHW6 would then finish out the parts requirements. The brakes will be a bolt-on swap, you'll just have to run lines from the assemblies to the actuator and wire this up but aside from that it should be pretty straight forward.

  • Can Larger Electric Brake Assemblies be Used on 7K Trailer Axle
    None of the drums offered that are compatible with the wheel bearings used by a 7K axle would work with a 12-1/2 x 3.375 brake assembly, which is usually used on a 8 or 9K axle. I'm assuming your trailer is a tandem axle. Do both axles have brakes? If not, you could add brakes to the second axle which would dramatically increase your braking performance. You would indeed experience more reliable braking action if you went with disc brakes. In order to make a recommendation, I'd need to...

It is compatible ONLY with one specific hub, the Dexter hub 8-288 built between February 1990 and August 2009. What you can do is take off your hubs and measure the diameter of the spindle where the bearings and seal rides. If where the bearings ride is 2.250 and 1.750 and for the seal 2.875 this hub will fit. If your trailer already has disk brakes then you...
