The DeeMaxx Difference
When brakes retain heat, they are more likely to experience brake fade, or loss of braking power. DeeMaxx addresses this problem by incorporating drainage holes in the hat section of each rotor to provide even more ventilation than other brands. Combining these holes with the conventional venting design allows DeeMaxx brakes to disperse heat faster. They're also able to shed moisture better, leading to less internal corrosion. The result is cooler-running, longer-lasting brakes that offer consistent performance.
DeeMaxx brakes are the only trailer brakes to satisfactorily pass the high standards of the SAE J2681 brake test. This test is designed to evaluate the friction performance of automotive brakes, so DeeMaxx's passing grade should tell you just how well made these products are.
The patented design of the caliper mounting bolt and sleeve makes installation easier while ensuring that the sleeves stay in place within the caliper. In addition, the side-support design of the caliper mounting bracket puts all of the weight on the bracket instead of on the bolts. This reduces premature wear and extends the life of the bolts, further ensuring optimal performance.
DeeMaxx brakes perform well even in the most demanding environments, which is one of the many reasons why they are preferred by law enforcement agencies like the Texas State Patrol, U.S. Border Patrol, and U.S. Coast Guard.
Great for Campers and Boat Trailers
If you own a trailer, you know that rust and corrosion will eventually creep up no matter where you tow, especially if your equipment doesn't have any kind of protective coating or plating. But if you tow your camper or trailer in the Midwest during the winter, or if you ever launch your boat in brackish water, you'll need even more protection because of the salt you'll likely encounter.
The Maxx coating on the rotor, caliper, and bracket in this assembly helps to ensure that this brake won't end up looking like the one pictured above. It offers great corrosion protection, even with occasional use in saltwater. Rust-resistant coatings are graded according to a salt spray rating. Basically, this rating shows the amount of time it takes for a material to show signs of corrosion when exposed to pure, continuous salt spray. Zinc plating typically begins to deteriorate after about 100 hours. Dacromet usually lasts for around 300 to 400 hours. DeeMaxx's Maxx coating lasts for more than 1,000 hours in the salt spray test.
The environment this test creates is much harsher than anything you'll ever experience in your journeys, but it provides a testament to how well DeeMaxx brakes resist rust and corrosion.
If you're living the salt life full-time or you live right on the coast, you'll probably want to invest in something that offers even more protection, like an assembly that includes stainless steel components for the ultimate in corrosion resistance.
Get a Safer, More Comfortable Ride
Say goodbye to the days of your truck being pushed and pulled by your trailer. Disc brakes provide a safer, more comfortable ride than drum brakes. They offer shorter stopping distances and deliver consistent braking - even at highway speeds. So, you won't have to worry about things crashing around in your trailer or camper next time you reach unexpected traffic on the highway or debate if you can actually stop before that yellow light turns red.
Save Time and Money
More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes. Not only do disc brakes provide more controlled braking than drum brakes, but they also save you money by having fewer parts to maintain.
Unlike drum brakes, which have springs, magnets, and shoes that may need to be continually adjusted or replaced, disc brakes are virtually maintenance-free. There are no springs, cables, or other little components that you'll need to worry about failing.
The brake pads will naturally wear down, so eventually you'll have to replace them. But these pads are also way easier to replace than drum brake shoes. And the caliper - where the pads are housed - is located on the outside of the brake assembly. This means you just have to remove that one part to replace the brake pads rather than having to remove the entire assembly like you would with drum brakes.
This particular kit can save you time and money over other disc brakes on the market as well. A slip-on rotor may be easier to install initially, but water can find its way between the rotor and your existing hub, causing uneven rotor wear or runout. With a 1-piece hub-and-rotor assembly, water and debris can't get in to cause any corrosion or contamination.
DeeMaxx also has simple instructions for bleeding the brakes laser-etched on the back of the calipers. This convenient time saver means you'll always have the guidance you need on hand when the time comes for maintenance.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
If you want to remount your existing wheel after installing this brake, you'll need an assembly that offers the same bolt pattern. To determine the bolt pattern, count the number of bolt holes (or lug nuts) on your trailer's wheel. This will give you the first number in the pattern. To find the second number, just measure the distance between a bolt hole and the bolt hole across from it.
For example, on wheels with an even number of bolt holes: 6 on 5-1/2" means 6 bolt holes with 5-1/2" from the center of 1 hole to the center of the hole across from it.
And with an odd number of bolt holes: 5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" from the center of 1 hole to the farthest edge of one of the 2 farthest bolt holes.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this DeeMaxx 13 inch hub and rotor assembly with the eight on 6 1/2 inch bolt pattern and the 9/16 inch diameter bolts, and it has the MAXX coating and it's for 7,000 pound axles. Now this kit here will let you upgrade your trailer from drum to disc brakes for superior performance. It'll include everything shown here on the table. It has this single piece hub and rotor assembly with the pre-installed bearing races in it. It has the inner bearing, which goes in the back here.
It has the grease seal, which will go over that bearing in the back once it's installed, has the outer bearing, which will go in the front here, and then has the easy lube grease cap that would go over there once the bearing's installed. Also, if you notice it comes with eight of the 9/16 by 18 size lug nuts. Comes with the caliper right here with the brake pads already installed, and over here the caliper mounting bracket with the mounting hardware. Now a hydraulic brake actuator rated at 1,500 PSI or above in your brake lines are required to activate your brakes. Those items are sold separately.
Now this kit is great for towing and launching your boat in fresh or brackish water, and it uses the corrosion-resistant MAXX coat finish on the hub and the rotor, the caliper, and even the bracket. And that means they have a salt spray rating of over 1,000 hours. If you notice on the single piece hub and rotor right here, these holes, these are drainage holes that are in the hat section and allows any water to drain easily to further minimize any corrosion. Now this kit will offer dramatically shorter stopping distances and smooth controlled braking. We mentioned the caliper comes with pads.
They are ceramic brake pads. They do increase the stopping power, just to show you the pads right there. And the piston on this is a 2 1/4 inch diameter stainless steel piston, so it provides fast, responsive braking. This kit requires minimal maintenance, saving you time and money, and one of the unique features on this, I'm even gonna zoom in closer. If you look on the caliper, they do laser-etched instructions on this caliper, and that takes any of the guesswork out of installing it or bleeding the brakes.
Now this is a one piece hub and rotor assembly, so it reduces the chance of uneven rotor wear. It is a vented design. We turn it, you can see the vents right here, it goes all the way around. These are designed to dissipate heat faster to prevent premature brake pad wear. And these parts are a high quality automotive grade construction, which makes them long lasting. Again, the fit for this kit is fits an axle capacity of 7,000 pounds. Bolt pattern of eight on 6 1/2 inches. Rotor diameter is about 13 1/8 inches. The brake flange configuration, you can see the five bolts, so it is designed to fit on a five-bolt brake flange. And the wheel bolts we had mentioned on this one is 9/16 of an inch. But that should do it for the look at the DeeMaxx 13 inch hub and rotor assembly with the eight on 6 1/2 pattern, a 9/16 diameter bolt, and the nice MAXX coating.
