Review of Hydrastar Trailer Brakes - Disc Brake Kit - HSE7K-S1SO Video

Thank you for including images, this was a great help to me understanding what you will need to do to equip your trailer with electric brakes. The best thing for you to do is to immobilize the surge coupler. To do this you can weld the inner part of…

Since only the left side brake on your trailer brakes is damaged there is nothing wrong with just using the left side assembly included with the Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-7-SA you purchased and leaving the original right side assembly alone.…

All of that is not necessary. All you have to do is lock out the surge coupler so it cannot move in and out or disconnect the brake lines. By removing the old coupler you would have to remove the brake lines any way. A surge coupler can still be used…

Your bolt pattern is a standard 4 bolt pattern which the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit part #K2R35D does work with. We should add that but basically if a brake flange is 4 bolt it's going to be what this was designed for.

Yes, Ford's integrated brake controller in the 2018 model will work with the HydraStar Vented Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes #HS381-8067. You will be able to you use a 7 way connector with this actuator and will probably…

I did not see where you mentioned what electric over hydraulic actuator you are using but if it is the HydraStar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator part #HBA16 that you referenced then the first thing I recommend you check is that you are using…

We don't offer an all-inclusive kit that offers everything you listed but I'd be happy to recommend some parts for you that would come pretty close, you'd need to get the brake controller and it's wiring harness separately. For a…

Yes, the Hydrastar Vented Marine EOH Actuator kit part #HS481-8067 can be used on an equipment trailer that has 2 10k Dexter axles. While the actuator has features that allow it to work on boat trailers it would still function just as well on a…
