Bearing, Race and Seal Information
More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes, and with good reason. Disc brakes deliver consistent braking - even at highway speeds - unlike drum brakes, which often show a substantial drop in braking torque at higher speeds. In addition, disc brakes offer a substantially shorter stopping distance than drum brakes. Disc brake calipers have only one moving part, rather than the many found in drum brakes. This means that there are fewer parts to maintain, fewer parts to get damaged and fewer parts to have to repair or replace, thus reducing maintenance costs.
The integral hub-and-rotor is made from cast iron, matching SAE specifications. Cast iron is ideal for high-temperature operations and offers a favorable friction coefficient to ensure adequate stopping power. Kodiak's rotors are vented to effectively dissipate heat, dramatically reducing the incidence of heat-related damage. Furthermore, machined disc brakes minimize the chance of contamination between the hub and rotor, resulting in excellent performance and long life.
Kodiak calipers are constructed of cast iron to prevent flexing. Less flex means more braking torque, resulting in smooth, even braking every time. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel piston is 30 percent larger than standard pistons, ensuring shorter stopping distance and increased torque. In addition, the unique low-drag design of Kodiak's calipers allows the piston to retract farther than in most standard models, giving you a cooler-running brake.
Designed for axles with 5-bolt brake flange configurations, the included mounting brackets are made of heavy-duty ductile iron that is embossed to provide additional threading for guide bolts. The added thread strength ensures a tighter, more secure connection between the caliper and bracket. Another unique feature of Kodiak's brackets is the side-support angle, which guarantees that the load is carried by the bracket, rather than the bolts.

The 13" rotor features an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern.Converted my 2010 Raptor 3912lev tri-axel toyhauler to disc brakes with the kodiak kit and hydrastar actuator. Install was very straightforward and the e-trailer folks were extremely helpful in confirming that this kit would work for my trailer and helping with questions while I was installing. Stopping power is excellent, glad I invested in this upgrade --- the fifth wheel really stops the truck now.
Installed on my 2009 Keystone Fuzion FZ302. I was very impressed by the fit and finish. What a difference in braking!! I don't think I will ever own a trailer with electric drums again. I was able to install all four in about 6 hours. This was taking my time to ensure all clearances were exact. The only thing I ran into was the sticky weights on my 16" wheels just touched the caliber. I had the wheels rebalanced with clip weights on the inside and we are now all good.
I had finally decided after much research to upgrade to hydraulic brakes on my 38' Montana Fifth Wheel. Etrailer provided some much useful information and instruciton along with their quality products. I replaced all wheel/hub assemblies with new bearings and seals. Installed the Kodiak disk brakes and hydraulic lines.
I purchased a different controller than the one they offered but the job went reasonably well because everything fit as it should. We traveled South last Winter to Arizona from Washington and I was very impressed by the performance of my new brakes. if I bought another rig I wouldn't hesitate to install these brakes they work so much better than standard electric.
Brian G - 10/17/2017Works great
The product is good, what I expected from Kodiak. Everything else about the transaction terrible. Purchase your parts someplace else. Ridiculous wait times when I called in, was given incomplete and not correct answers. Specifically asked to speak to a specialist or technician was refused. Purchased most the parts I needed from a competitor. Decided since etrailer had the Kodiak parts in stock, with the delivery quick I would try one more time. Huge mistake, parts not in stock as shown. A simple phone call could have resolved a question, nope an email was sent delaying delivery.
etrailer is local for me, was always recommended by me as I traveled across the country. NO MORE.
Super fast shipping and items received in good condition. Items are 100% as described and although I have not installed them yet I am sure they will work just fine. So happy with etrailer that I have already placed another order.
David M - 02/22/2018Having hydraulic disc brakes on my trailer is awesome smooth consistent stopping much safer than electric drum brakes
Installed complete kit with rotors and actuator ,system works great only had issue with not receiving full order but customer service took care of issue and got the rest of the order out to me.
very good product high quality I would recommend to anyone looking for a good braking system at a fair price
Finally received this disc brake kit for 1 axle after 2 weeks and it appears to be as advertised.
Perfection
