Video Transcript for Review of Hydrastar Trailer Brakes - Disc Brakes - HYD92FR

Hi, everyone. Steve here with etrailer. Let's take a look at our Hydrastar disc brake kit with included actuator for a single axle trailer. Folks, this is gonna give you 10-inch rotors. The lug pattern is a five on 4 1/2 inch lug pattern, so make sure you're double-checking your lug pattern, or reach out to us if you need assistance on how to figure that out. Now, this is rated for 3,500 pound axles.

And they do include the inner and outer bearings. The seals, the races are already pressed inside of the units themselves, so you don't have to worry about that part. And of course you get your calipers, all your bolts needed for installing the calipers, brake lines, your flexible brake hoses, and of course, your short and long brake lines as well. So they're gonna give you enough brake line to go from the actuator all the way back to the axle beam, and then cross left and right to reach both assemblies for braking. Now, this is the actuator here.

It's an electric over hydraulic actuator. It's pretty beefy. And of course, they got the caps on here just for shipping to keep those threads nice and safe. And on the top here, you can see it does have a nice red one label. It says use .3 or four brake fluid from a new sealed container.

So make sure you're following all the instructions. Again, you have all the wiring. There's a bag full of clips and little screws and bolts here. I left them in there just so I didn't lose them, but you get all of that as well. So let's talk about the assembly here.

So the rotor assembly hub, rotor assembly all in one piece here. It does have a nice decrement coating, so that's why it kinda has that shine, if you will, but that's gonna give you superior protection against rust, corrosion, those kinda things, so these are gonna be great for you for longevity. And with this kit, it's gonna improve your braking capability, your stopping power, so you're gonna have shorter stopping distances versus, like, your electric drum brakes that you probably are used to if you've never used disc brakes. And these are gonna be super effective at highway speeds, heavier loads. These are just by far, a much, much more reliable, better, smoother braking than your traditional electric brakes that you're probably used to. Now, if you've used these before and you're getting this kit 'cause you know just how great they are, great. As I said, you get everything here included with the kit.
