Will Kodiak Stainless Steel Brake Calipers Fit a 2011 EZ Loader Trailer EZB17-20 3100

Question

Question:

I am looking to replace the calipers on my EZ loader trailer. I am interested if you have a replacement for this trailer? Will the Kodiak Stainless steel calipers work on my trailer. My hubs are oil bath. I bought this boat new in 2013 so it has 4 seasons on the trailer and it has been used in salt water and always rinsed with Salt-Away after. One of the calipers is hanging up and most likely I need to rebuild at minimum so interested in upgrading them if possible.

You could most likely use Kodiak stainless steel calipers. However they have different options depending on the trailer capacity.

For 9K to 10K use # KDBC338SS
For 7K to 8K use # KDBC250S
For 3.5K to 6K use # KDBC225S
