Video Transcript for Review of Kodiak Trailer Brakes - Disc Brake Kit - KD87FR

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Kodiak by Dexter disc brake kit with the 11" rotors, has the eight on 6 1/2" bolt pattern for 10,000 to 12,000 pound axles. Now, this is a complete disc kit for 10,000 pound to 12,000 pound axles. You can see it'll include everything shown on the table here. Basically, when you're hauling serious weight, you're gonna need breaks that don't flinch.

So this Kodiak by Dexter kit is gonna bring full disc braking to one 10,000 pound to 12,000 pound axle with 11" rotors and a strong eight on 6 1/2" bolt pattern. It'll deliver a nice, smooth, consistent braking under heavy loads, giving you control and confidence every time you stop. As we mentioned, everything on the table's included, so it'll come with the rotors right here, the calipers, the brake pads, the spacers, the mounting brackets, and all the necessary hardware for both wheels on one axle. Now, moisture, grime, and road salt can eat through unprotected metal fast. So the GAL-DEX coating that's on these rotors here, and then the E-coat that's on the calipers and the brackets will help stand up to the corrosion for a long service life.

So whether your trailer lives outdoors or sees constant use, these coatings are gonna help keep everything moving smoothly and looking clean. This kit is made to fit the standard seven-bolt brake flanges with 5/8" studs and an eight on 6 1/2" bolt pattern. So the installation's gonna line up without modifications. It is designed to work with both 16" dual wheels and 17 1/2" single wheel setups, letting you keep your current wheels and tires without upgrading to modern disc performance. Also offers you a flexible maintenance setup that's compatible with grease or oil hubs, so there's no need to change how you service your hubs.

The Kodiak system's gonna work with either grease or oil lubrication, so you can stick with the maintenance routine that you already know. Now, this item itself can be installed by an experienced DIY-er.
