Disc Brake Kit Recommendation to Convert 10k Dexter Drum Brakes to Disc
Question:
I have an a 2006 Easy Haul car carrier with Dexter 10 K torsion axles, dual wheels 8 bolt 6.5 circle. It presently has the two piece hub and brake drum set up on it. My question is this. Can I use these hubs for mounting my rotors to after I remove the drums? Or do I need to purchase idler hubs for the axles? What disc brake kit do I need for this application? Thanks for your help Regards

Helpful Expert Reply:
For your Dexter 10k torsion axles we have the Kodiak disc brake kit part # K2R1058D13. This is specifically designed to fit Dexter 10k torsion axles like what you have so it would be the exact part number you need.
This will attach to the hubs you have now once you remove the drum from them.
For an actuator kit that includes lines and a breakaway setup we have the part # CAR-HBA16-2 which would work well.
