Kodiak Trailer Brakes - KOD27FR
Highlights
- Stops Smooth and Fast: Disc design delivers shorter stopping distances and consistent braking, even at highway speeds.
- Fights Rust and Salt: Dacromet coating withstands 300–400 hours of salt spray for long-lasting corrosion resistance.
- Saves Time and Money: 1-piece vented hub-and-rotor reduces wear, needs minimal maintenance, and resists brake fade.
- Bolts Right On: Complete kit includes hub-rotor assemblies, calipers, bearings, seals, and hardware for 1 axle.
- Built for 2,000-lb Axles: Works with 10"–13" wheels, 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, and 1/2" wheel bolts.
- Keeps Brakes Running Cool: Vented rotors disperse heat quickly to protect pads and maintain braking power.
Features to know about
Upgrade from Drums to Smooth, Confident Braking: Dacromet-Coated Disc Design
If your trailer’s old drum brakes are dragging or fading, this Kodiak 8" disc brake kit delivers a big improvement in stopping power and control. The 1-piece hub-and-rotor assemblies provide short, consistent stops while eliminating the uneven wear common with slip-on rotors. Ceramic pads and a large stainless steel piston give fast, responsive braking that feels smooth and steady at any speed.
Built for Salt, Snow, and Spray: Dacromet Finish Resists Corrosion
Frequent launches or travel on treated winter roads can eat through uncoated parts fast. These cast iron components use a Dacromet finish rated for 300 to 400 hours of salt spray protection—comparable to galvanized steel. That means they stand up to freshwater and saltwater use without rusting or seizing up, keeping your brakes working reliably season after season.
Keeps Cool Under Load: Vented Rotors Prevent Fade and Pad Wear
Even small trailers can build serious heat when braking downhill or hauling gear. The vented 8" rotors on this setup move air through the core to shed heat quickly, helping prevent brake fade and extending pad life. The result is dependable braking performance every time you tow, even on long grades or stop-and-go drives.
Ready-to-Install Kit for One Axle: Complete Hub-and-Rotor Assemblies
This kit includes everything needed to upgrade brakes for one 2,000-lb axle with wheels from 10" to 13" and a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. Each assembly comes preloaded with L44649 inner and outer bearings, matching races, grease seals, E-Z Lube caps, wheel bolts, and lug nuts. The side-support caliper bracket design puts the load on the bracket instead of the bolts, helping prevent premature wear for long-lasting performance.

Seams to be quality product.Does NOT come with mounting bolts for the caliper bracket mounts so make sure you have 8 -7/16 nuts and bolts on hand if you are switching from factory brake setup.

Dexter works well but sadly these come with china bearing. I order Timken instead. Wish you could get the best with the best in one package. Probably should be an option. Maybe it is and I missed it.

Nothing new which is good news, although I will replace the bearings sometime this winter with Timken. This is the stock brake for Morryde IIS and it work well enough. The China bearing are what it comes with, but in an effort to not have to worrywonder, Timken is my choice. Not sure about some of the complaints but other than cardboard not holding up to heavy metal mine were new and good. I believe sometimes returns and part get put in a box a second time and that screws everyone up. Not being an upgrade, I am not sure there is another choice even if I wanted it.

One caliper failed (broke from flange) after 2000 miles. Had to reach out to Dexter for prompt warranty replacement. etrailer was very helpful in getting me in touch with the manufacturer.

I decided to go with the Kodiak set up and we couldn’t be happier with the service with them. I feel that the trailer stops around 40 better.

I bought the brake kit to repair the Kodiak brake kit that I installed over 10 years ago. I am very pleased with the kit. I lost a caliper and it damaged the rotor. I had a service teck grease my wheel bearings and I suspect he did not use lock tight on the caliper pins and did not thoroughly tighten the pins on one side. Shipping is an issue. The box is very heavy and was badly damaged during shipping. I was sent the wrong kit and received a correct kit a week later. Both shipping boxes were destroyed. Cannibalized one box to fix the other box (lots of packing tape) to return the initial kit.

I'm so glad I swapped out these old drums. Installation was a breeze. Yes, I painted the calipers to match the Brembos on my Jeep SRT.

Package box had a lot of damage. Bearings were not sealed in any packaging and were loose in the box. Not of the items had damage but I am not use to this type of quality from etrailer. etrailer is a very good company.

I replaced my drum brake system last year
I was very impressed with the additional stopping power.
I paid extra for the Dacromet material so that I wouldn't have to deal with them rusting during periods of non use.
When I opeed the trailer for the season, this is what I found.
Not happy!

Your plastic caps are terrible
They heat up and fall off
It’s a disgrace that you would offer them
The set set should be sold with metal caps

Quality is absolutely terrible. The Castings look like rejects. There is massive pitting of the metal. There are sharp edges where the part was cut from the casting trees. The caliper mount bracket is a casting that makes the caliper sit much further inboard than most of the other style brackets. When I tried to mount the caliper to the bracket, after the bracket was bolted to the axle flange. The Rotor inside of the rotor dragged on the caliper bracket. I had to grind away some of the metal of the bracket so that the hub/rotor would rotate freely. Where the rotor is bolted to the adapter, None of the bolts are recessed or set in the preformed holes as they should be. This is obviously very poor China or elsewhere manufacturing. Kodiak(DEXTER) should be ashamed of themselves for selling this junk.

My parts seem to be old inventory that have been moved around in the warehouse for a while. Parts came loosely packaged in a kodiak factory box. Hub/rotor and brackets banging into each other causing scratches on surfaces. The races and bolts that hold the hub/rotor have a bit of surface rust. It's nothing to affect the performance of the parts but it is what it is. A little scotch brite and good as new.

See what our Experts say about this Kodiak Trailer Brakes
- Disc Brakes For ShoreLand'r Boat Trailer Hey Gene! Those don't quite look like 10" brake assemblies but I can't say for sure from the picture. If you have a 3,500 lb axle with # L68149 inner and # L44649 outer bearings than the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE66YR will work. If that is a straight spindle with # L44649 inner and outer bearings you need the Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD27FR instead. These are designed for 2k axles and have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern with an 8" rotor diameter. Bearings and seals are included with both, and...
view full answer... - Availability of Self-Adjusting 7" Brake Assemblies Hey Kevin! As far as I know nobody makes self-adjusting brakes in that size. If you need replacement brakes you can use the etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes - 7" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 2,000 lbs # AKEBRK-2 but they're going to be manual adjust just like you have now. What kind of trailer are you working on?
view full answer... - Availability of Disc Brake Kit for Triton WC2-2Hey Nicolas I wasn't able to get the axle capacity that your trailer has. With that I can see what parts you'd need to convert to electric over hydraulic disc brakes. I'd also need to know the wheel bolt pattern as well.
view full answer... - EOH Actuator and Brake Lines For Nucamp Tag XL Boondock Adding Disc BrakesHey Scott! I recommend using the Hydrastar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes # HS381-8067. Hydrastar is a reliable, proven brand so it will serve you well. Then for brake lines you can use the Hydrastar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Single Axle - 15' Long, 1/8" Main Line # HS496-151. If you haven't already, make sure your 2k axles have a BTR spindle using # L44649 bearings to match the Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD27FR. If you have a true 1" spindle with # L44643 bearings...
view full answer... - Recommended Disc Brakes for a 10" WheelI am sorry the Kodiak Disc Brakes item # KOD27FR can not be converted to fit your spindle. In order for this to work on your trailer you would need to replace your spindles with item # TRU44FR. The only option I have that fits your spindle is the Kodiak Disc Brakes item # KOD59FR but it won't work with wheels smaller then 13".
view full answer... - Will 12" Wheels Fit Disc Brakes on TrailerThe only way you're getting a 12" wheel like # AM20153 on there is if you have a 2,000 lb axle and an 8" hub/rotor like the # KOD27FR. More than likely you have a 10" hub/rotor with a 3,500 lb axle. If that is the case, it will still depend on the style and brand of disc brakes that you have. For example, the Kodiak # KOD67FR can fit a 13" wheel like the # AM20245. The Dexter # T2HRCM10DAC works with 14" and 15" wheels. The Kodiak # K2R35D with a slip-on rotor also only works with 14"...
view full answer... - Do You Have Disc Brake Assembly for a 4-Lug Wheel?I am sorry but we do not. Our smallest is the Kodiak Disc Brakes - 8" Hub/Rotor item # KOD27FR, which has a 5 on 4-1/2 lug pattern. It fits wheels from 10" - 13". In order for this to work on your trailer you would need to replace your spindles with item # TRU44FR.
view full answer... - How to Determine Correct Disc Brake Hub & Rotor Kit For Boat TrailerThere is a lot of information you'll need to know in order to get hubs, rotors, and caliper disc brake kits for your boat trailer, as we don't have a list of fits for any model year Ranger boat trailers. So you need to know your axle capacity as well as the bearing numbers. You will need to take apart your current hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them,...
view full answer... - Which Surge Brake Actuator Works w/ 2,000 lbs Disc Brakes?For a set of 2,000 lbs disc brakes, you will want to use the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator w/ Electric Lockout item # T4745720. This is our lowest capacity disc brake actuator and even though it is rated for a 6,000 lbs trailer it will work perfectly with a lower weight.
view full answer... - How Much Back Spacing Is Required For The Disc Brake Calipers On The Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD27FR?The distance from the brake flange to the back of the caliper on the Kodiak Disc Brakes # KOD27FR is 2.4". This measurement is the maximum extension with worn brake pads so do note when you receive and install on your trailer the new pads will give you a slightly smaller number.

- Will the Kenda 10" Galvanized Wheel #AM3H490 Fit Over Kodiak Disc Brake Kit KOD27FRHey Alex, yes, since the Kodiak disc assembly part # KOD27FR can work with wheel diameters that are between 10 and 13 inches the wheel part # AM3H490 that you referenced would fit and work great with it.
view full answer... - Parts Needed For Adding Brakes To a Small Boat Trailer For Towing With a Honda CR-VYou simply need to ensure you use a surge brake assembly which is designed for lighter trailers. The Demco # DM62VR is rated for trailer up to 7,00lbs and Disc Brakes # KOD27FR. You will also likely need a 4-way to 5-way Adapter # C57187 for your Honda CR-V as this actuator has an electric lockout so the brakes will not activate when you back up. The Disc Brakes # KOD27FR above was designed to be used on a spindle using Bearings # L44649. If your trailer uses different size bearings please...

view full answer... - Replacement Axle, Hubs/Drums, and Free Backing Hydraulic Brakes for a Jet Ski TrailerHey Greg, thanks for the information. To add free backing hydraulic drum brakes to your Jet Ski trailer, I recommend replacing your axle with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension item # ASR2000S02. You'll then be able to add a pair of the Easy Grease Trailer Hub/Drum Assembly item # AKHD-545-35-G-EZ-K, and the Free Backing 10' Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit item # AKFBBRK-35. This setup works with 13" to 15" wheels so you will have to update yours. There's no way to do what you're wanting...
