Highlights

  • Upgrade for Stronger Stops: Electric-over-hydraulic disc brakes deliver faster, smoother, and more consistent braking than drum setups.
  • Bolt On and Go: Slip-on, dacromet-coated rotors fit over existing idler hubs—no need to replace the whole assembly.
  • Handles Heavy Loads: Rated for 6,000-lb axles with 12" rotors and a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern for dependable control.
  • Built to Resist Rust: Dacromet-coated rotors and corrosion-resistant hardware stand up to water and road grime.
  • All-in-One Kit: Includes actuator, rotors, calipers, hydraulic lines, and fittings for tandem axles.
  • Smooth Highway Braking: Vented cast-iron rotors dissipate heat to prevent fade during long or repeated stops.

Features to know about

Upgrade Old Drum Brakes for Real Stopping Power: Electric-Over-Hydraulic Disc System

Tired of sluggish or uneven braking? This Hydrastar Disc Brake Kit with electric-over-hydraulic actuator delivers smooth, consistent stops even at highway speeds. The system creates fast, even brake response through your existing in-cab brake controller, so you get confident control every time you hit the pedal. The complete kit upgrades your tandem-axle setup to disc performance, cutting your stopping distance compared to drum brakes.

Simple Slip-On Rotors Make Installation Easy: Over-the-Hub Design

No need to replace entire hub-and-rotor assemblies. The 12" cast iron rotors slip right over your existing idler hubs and are held in place by your current wheel bolts. That design makes it easy to convert your setup or replace just one part later without junking a full assembly. The rotors meet SAE specs and include venting that helps move air through the core to shed heat and reduce fade on long grades.

Built for 6,000-lb Axles with Reliable Components Included

Every part in this kit is matched for 6,000-lb axle capacity and a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. You get four dacromet-coated disc brake end kits with calipers, mounting brackets, and hardware. The package also includes a hydraulic line kit for tandem axles with pre-fitted inverted flare nuts, brass fittings, nylon hose clamps, and self-tapping screws—everything sized to connect the system securely.

Ready for the Long Haul: Durable Coatings and Backed Warranties

Each rotor and caliper is dacromet coated to resist rust and corrosion, keeping performance solid in wet or humid conditions. The actuator carries a 2-year warranty, while brakes and components are backed for 1 year. With fewer moving parts than drum setups and corrosion protection built in, this kit is designed for reliable braking season after season.

  • Recommended Suspension and Disc Brake Upgrade for a Tandem Trailer w/ 4,400 lbs Axles
    Hey Ken thanks for all the information! I can help you with your suspension upgrade but i have no way to add disc brakes to a 4,400 lbs axle and keep your 6 lug pattern wheels. You would need to upgrade your axle or find a 4,400 lbs idler hub with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. You could use the Hydrastar Disc Brake Kit item # HYD24VR which is a slip-on rotor if you do find an idler hub. We only have a hub and drum assembly left for 4,400 lbs axles item # 8-407-5UC3-EZ. As far as suspension...
