• What Rotor Sizes Does Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper Fit
  The Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper - Dacromet - 3,500 lbs to 6,000 lbs # KDBC225DAC is only designed to fit 10" or 12" rotors, and it looks like the Tie Down 46304 may be for 9.6" rotors, so the fit may be off due to that. There isn't any type of new mounting bracket available, and the best option we have is for you to get a new hub and rotor assembly, as we don't carry Tie Down parts and this may not be an exact fit otherwise. For that you need to know the weight rating of your axle, your...

• Replacement Disc Brake Caliper for Reliable CL-1000
  The specs listed for the # KDBC225DAC Kodiak caliper I found online match up with those of the Reliable CL-1000. Either would be compatible with a 3500 to 6000 lb axle but because it hasn't been officially tested, If I were in your shoes I'd replace both calipers to ensure you're getting the exact same braking on each side for the sake of safety. We don't have a rebuild kit known to be compatible with the Reliable CL-1000 caliper.

• Bleeding Trailer Brakes After Installing Kodiak 225 Disc Brake Calipers
  When you bleed the brakes on your trailer after installing the Kodiak Calipers # KDBC225DAC, you will want to start with the brake that is furthest away from the actuator. Of the two bleeder valves, you will want to use the bleeder valve that is on the top. If you are manually bleeding the brakes, it is easiest to use a clear jar to collect the brake fluid in so it is easier to see when there are no more bubbles in the fluid. Be sure to open the top bleeder valve when you are bleeding...

• Replacement Brake Calipers for EZ Loader TIAB 27-31
  I contacted EZ Loader and got some information on your trailers. They could narrow down that you have 12 inch rotors, but they could be from two different manufacturers, Kodiak or UFP.

• How to Determine Right Hand and Left Hand Brake For Disc Brake Caliper Installation
  Yes, you would look at the trailer from the rear to determine right hand or left hand. The terms right hand and left hand come from right turn and left turn. The right hand brake is on the right side as if you were making a right turn. The Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper, # KDBC225DAC, can be used on either side. Kodiak designed the caliper so that there are multiple bleeder valves allowing you to switch them depending on which side you need the caliper on. .

• Troubleshooting Trailer Disc Brakes that Won't Activate Although Actuator Moves Fluid
  First step I would try is bleeding the brakes. It sounds like you have an air bubble that needs to just be worked out of the lines and then the brakes should start working again. I attached a help article on bleeding trailer brakes too. First top off the master cylinder with appropriate fluid. Next you will want to pump the fluid from the master cylinder. You can do this by unbolting the plate that holds the lever in place and then use that lever to actuate the master cylinder and...

• Which Brake Assembly to Start with When Bleeding Trailer Hydraulic Brakes
  Sounds like your question is related to the trailer brake bleeding process where you are supposed to pick the assembly that is the furthest from the actuator to start with. Basically if you have more than one trailer axle you pick the rear-most axle and then start with the assemblies there. Once you've bled either assembly on that axle you then move to the one in front of it. Of the two bleeder valves, you will want to use the bleeder valve that is on the top. That's because air bubbles...

• Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper Replacement Parts

The 225 calipers are more prominent than the 204 calipers but they are not directly interchangeable. I reached out to my contact at Dexter (who bought out Kodiak) and he said the mounting locations are slightly different and the piston size is different with the 204 model being roughly a 2 inch diameter piston and the...

• Troubleshooting Surface Rust on Trailer Brake Rotors
  Theoretically if you just have some surface rust on your rotors it would be knocked off after a drive that included a couple solid braking events. If you still notice rust on the rotors after towing the trailer then this could indeed be an indication that there's an issue with the brakes or simply that the rust you found is a bit deeper than surface level. If the rotors are badly rusted then your best option is just to replace them completely. I have attached a link that will take you...

• Replacement Parts for Wheels and Disc Brakes Getting Too Hot on Boat Trailer
  A stuck caliper will absolutely cause the brakes/hubs to heat up like you described as it's going to be constantly engaged during travel even when you aren't hitting the brakes. This is the most likely cause of the excessive heat so it's definitely where I recommend starting. We do have a large selection of replacement caliper parts available such as the Kodiak # KDBC225DAC, which I have linked below, however I'm unable to track down the exact brand or capacity for the rotors used on...
