Kodiak Trailer Brakes - K2R526DS
Highlights
- Stop Shorter and Smoother: Disc design gives consistent braking and dramatically shorter stops, even at highway speeds.
- Fights Rust and Salt: Dacromet-plated rotors, brackets, and stainless calipers resist corrosion in freshwater or saltwater use.
- Bolts Right On: Slip-on 12" rotors fit over standard idler hubs with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern for easy conversion.
- Runs Cooler on Long Grades: Vented cast iron rotors dissipate heat to prevent fade or heat damage.
- Built for Heavy Loads: Rated for 5,200-lb to 6,000-lb axles with 15" and larger wheels for strong braking torque.
- Stays Smooth Over Time: Self-adjusting stainless calipers retract farther to reduce drag and deliver even braking.
Features to know about
Upgrade Old Drum Brakes to Reliable Disc Performance: Slip-On 12" Rotor Design
If you’re replacing worn drums or want stronger, smoother braking, this Kodiak Disc Brake Kit makes it easy. The 12" cast iron rotors slip over standard idler hubs and are held in place by your wheel bolts, so there’s no need to change the hub. Each assembly fits 5,200-lb to 6,000-lb axles with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and works with 15" or larger wheels. The result is shorter stopping distances and dependable braking even at highway speeds.
Corrosion Protection That Handles Freshwater or Saltwater: Dacromet and Stainless Steel Build
Rust can ruin brake performance fast, especially around water. These rotors and brackets are Dacromet-plated for superior corrosion resistance with a 300- to 400-hour salt-spray rating. The calipers and pistons are stainless steel for complete protection in freshwater or saltwater use. It’s a setup built to last season after season without seizing or surface damage.
Smooth, Equal Braking Every Time: Self-Adjusting Stainless Steel Calipers
The stainless steel calipers are self-adjusting for consistent braking on both wheels. Their low-drag design retracts the piston farther than most models, helping the brakes run cooler and reduce wear. With a 2-1/4" stainless steel piston—30 percent larger than many others—you get more braking torque and smoother response with every stop.
Built Strong for Heavy Loads: Durable Brackets and Smart Mounting Design
Each Dacromet-plated mounting bracket uses a side-support angle that carries the load on the bracket instead of the bolts. Extra embossing adds thread strength for a secure fit between the caliper and bracket. The vented rotor design dissipates heat effectively to prevent fade and heat damage during long downhill runs or heavy towing.
Complete Kit for One Axle: Ready for Hydraulic Activation
This kit includes two full brake assemblies—each with a Dacromet-plated cast iron rotor, stainless steel caliper, Dacromet-plated mounting bracket, and caliper bolts. It’s designed for axles with a 5-bolt brake flange configuration (flange sold separately). A hydraulic brake actuator and lines rated to at least 1,500 psi are required to activate the brakes. A 3-year warranty backs the setup for dependable use over time.

Installed this new Kodiak Disc Brake kit to replace a Tie Down Engineering set. The performance of these new brakes is phenomenal. I only have one season on them in and out of the salt water. I'm hoping that the Stainless Steel calipers will stand up over time.

The Stainless calipers and disc brake set are still functioning great after 2 years. I also installed an Electric over Hydraulic brake actuator to replace the surge brake actuator

Easy install on to my double axel EZ-Loader boat trailer. I replaced the factory oil bath hubs with new hubs and the brake drums/backing plate units with this disc brake kits. It all works really good! My boat & trailer sees a lot of salt water/Puget Sound. I've very happy with this set-up! Smooth stops!

I HAVE THIS SET UP WITH FULL STAINLESS ON MY BOAT AXLE #1, BUT FOR AXLE #2 I FIGURED I WOULD TRY THE STAINLESS/DACROMET SET UP. NOT INSTALLED YET BUT ALL LOOKS GOOD. I ONLY HOPE I DONT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ONE OF THE CALIPERS LEAKING WHERE THE BRAKE LINE FITTING SCREWS IN LIKE THE 1ST SET OF STAINLESS CLIPERS!

After one year and many trips to salt water, these are holding up about as well as you can expect them to. Way better than the cheap sets. No rust on the calipers at all. I do rinse trailer in fresh water after every trip.

- What Kodiak Disc Brake Kit will Replace My Brake Set-Up with Slip On Rotor Stamped 46247?Hello Bill, Thank you for the information and the pictures, they are most helpful. Yes, the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 12" Rotor - 6 on 5-1/2 - Dacromet and Stainless Steel - 6,000 lbs # K2R526DS is a great replacement for your old Tie-Down Engineering brake set-up with 46247 rotor. What is your favorite lake to go out on?
view full answer... - How To Determine The Correct Disc Brakes For Triple Axle Aluminum Boat TrailerHello Justin, thanks for reaching out. If you are needing to replace just one hub or rotor, I would need to know exactly what brand of brakes you have currently. Replacement brake parts are brand specific, and there would be no way to look up your trailer to know what you have. For a hub I would also need to know your inner and outer bearing sizes, since the 5,000 lb axles do not really have a standard for that. If you are looking to replace everything on all 3 axles I would mainly need...

I couldn't really find an information on a 2008 Airstream Classic Limited, so I would need more info to make sure. Do you know the capacity of your axles? There should be a tag/sticker at about the mid point of the axle with that info. If the tag/sticker is gone, which does happen, I can also figure it out with the GVWR of your camper. Next, are your current disc brakes the kind that slide onto a 6 on 5.5 bolt patter idler hub, like the # DE96VR? If you can get me those,...

- Does The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R526DS Come With Stainless Steel Calipers? The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R526DS will come with Dacromet coated slip on rotors and caliper mounting brackets. The calipers/pads are stainless steel. The product video linked below will show the correct parts and thank you for pointing out the error as I sent in an update to have this fixed.
view full answer... - Replacement Rotors And Brake Calipers For A 2015 Load Rite Boat Trailer Hey Douglas, Load Rite unfortunately doesn't list the part numbers that they used so we'll have to determine the bearing/grease seal combination, wheel bolt pattern, and axle capacity to determine the correct replacements. For the bearings/seal you can either remove them from the hub or remove the hub and measure the spindle at points B, C, and D with a digital caliper # PTW80157. I've attached a guide below for determining your wheel bolt pattern. The axle capacity isn't as necessary...
view full answer... - Compatibility of Kodiak # K2R526DS Disc Trailer Brake Kit with New EZ-Loader AxleAs long as your new axle has a 5-bolt brake mounting flange, the Kodiak # K2R526DS should work fine for you. You'll also need a brake line kit like part # DM5424 and an actuating coupler like part # 099-175-20 for a 2 inch trailer ball. I've linked you to an FAQ article that shows everything you'll need to think about when you're adding hydraulic disc brakes to a trailer.
view full answer... - Recommended 12 Inch Rotor for Idler Hubs with 6 LugsI have a couple rotor kit options for you. We have the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 12" Rotor - 6 on 5-1/2 - Dacromet and Stainless Steel - 6,000 lbs # K2R526DS or the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 12" Rotor - 6 on 5-1/2 - Dacromet and KodaGuard - 5,200 to 6,000 lbs # K2R526DKG. If you just want the rotor, I recommend the Kodiak 12" Rotor - 6 on 5-1/2 - Dacromet - 5,200 lbs to 6,000 lbs # KR12D. This rotor has bolt holes for 1/2 inch studs.

Before we can determine whether the Kodiak rotor # K2R526DS will fit your existing Tie Down hub, we'll need a little more information about your trailer setup.
