Review of Kodiak Trailer Brakes - 8 Inch Hub and Rotor E-Z Lube Disc Brakes - KOD87FR Video

Thanks for reaching out, Sam! The Kodiak Disc Brakes #KOD59FR with the Dacromet/KodaGuard are definitely a solid choice, but the hub-rotors and brackets only have a 300- to 400-hour salt spray rating and the calipers have a 500- to 600-hour salt…

Thank you for all of the photos and information! From what I can see it looks like you have a #84 spindle but that inner bearing blew out so you should be able to remove that inner sleeve that looks like it's still on the spindle (next to…

There is only a single difference between the two 3,500 lb Kodiak disc brake hub and rotor kits you asked about, and that's the protection given to the calipers. - KodaGuard-Coated Cast Iron Calipers: Kodiak Disc Brakes #KOD59FR -…

You do not need to add additional grease to a Dexter trailer axle hub that came pre-greased. It has the correct amount in it and is ready to be used. Adding additional grease will most likely blow out the grease seal.

That's a really good question, and there is a difference between the 7,500 lb Dexter DX7.5L A-60 actuators for disc brakes; the differences are both in what they fit, as well as their length. - 14" Long & Top-Mounted For…

There are exceptions to some rules, generally speaking 13 inch trailer wheels will not work with 10 inch hub and drums. Your wheels might be manufactured differently than most and there isn't a clearance issue like on most. I would imagine the…

Normal operating temperatures for drum brakes range from 150-400 degrees F. During certain stopping conditions the brake heat can exceed 600 degrees. The effectiveness and stopping power of the brakes is significantly reduced at these higher…

It sounds like the initial manual adjustment to your Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit #23-464-465 may have no been preformed correctly. What you can try and do is, preform a couple of braking attempts to properly adjust your brakes.…

The #84546UC3 and #84546UC3-EZ Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly are identical with the exception of the grease cap. Each is a single hub with an integrated drum. They use the same bearings, races, and grease seals. The #84546UC3-EZ has an EZ-Lube…

We do have a set of Dexter 3,500 electric brake assemblies that are designed for use with parking brakes as part #K23-086-087-00 that you referenced. It's hard to see since it blends in but the lever is built into the top of the assemblies that…

I attached a diagram that shows how the BrakeRite Actuator part #T4813100 gets wired to a trailer. If you have only one battery on your trailer you'd need to run all of the battery connections to the single battery and you'd be set. The…

There are a few different diagrams for the Titan BrakeRite EHB Electric-Hydraulic Actuator depending on which model you have. For example, if you have the RF model then you will use the diagram (see photo 1) with a 4-way as that is all that is…
