Recommended Kodiak 225 Caliper Rebuild Kit With Dust Boot
Question:
Hi there, I am in the process of rebuilding my Kodiak 225 Calipers. I am struggling to remove the old dust seals...they seem to be adhered to the caliper...maybe melted on? Is there a trick to removing them?

Expert Reply:
There is not any melting that is done to keep the dust seals on, but they may have used an adhesive of some sort. Normally they are just a tight fit and a small flat head screwdriver can be used with a rubber mallet to remove it.
Most of the time you have to replace the seals because of wear anyway, so I recommend using the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper Rebuild Kit for 3,500 lb to 6,000 lb Trailer Brakes # KDBC225KIT or # KDBC250KIT if you have the 7 or 8K axles and brakes.
