Video Transcript for Review of DeeMaxx Trailer Brakes - Hub and Rotor Disc Brake Kit - DE48AR

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the D-Max 13-inch threaded hub and rotor assembly kit with the 8 on 6.5 inch bolt pattern, the 9/16 inch diameter studs for 8,000 pound axles. And these have a Max coating and a stainless finish. Now, this kit here will let you upgrade your trailer from drum to disc brakes for superior performance. We mentioned the threaded hubs on it.

They're mostly used in oil bath axles, and this part. or this kit will include everything laid out here on the table. We'll start with the hub and rotors. It's two Max-coated cast iron threaded hub and rotor assemblies, and on the inside, they have the bearing races already pre-installed. Comes with the two inner bearings, the two outer bearings, the two oil seals, the two threaded oil caps that would thread into the outside of the hub right there.

And the lug nuts are included. You can see a total of 16 9/16 by 18 lug nuts, two stainless steel calipers with brake pads and bolts, and over here are two Max-coated caliper mounting brackets. Now, this kit does require a hydraulic brake actuator that's rated at 1,500 PSI or above, and brake lines to activate your brakes. Those items we do sell separate on our website. Now, the hub and rotors, these are a one-piece hub and rotor assemblies, so they do reduce the chance of uneven rotor wear.

If I turn this here, you'll be able to see on the sides, has a vented design to it. That's to dissipate heat faster, prevent premature brake pad wear. And also on the hat section of the hub and rotor assembly, you'll see the holes. These are drainage holes in the hat section that allow the water to drain easily, further minimize any corrosion. Now, this kit is good for...

it's excellent for occasional use in salt water areas with a lot of snow slush or road salt. We mentioned the Max coat finish that's on the hub and rotors. It's also on the caliper mounting brackets. They have a salt spray rating of over a thousand hours. We mentioned the calipers themselves. They're stainless steel, they are rust-proof. This does offer dramatically shorter stopping distances and smooth controlled braking. Now, I did want to show you the brake pads. They're in the calipers already. Flip it over, you can see there are ceramic brake pads to increase the stopping power. And the piston that's on the inside that applies those brake pads, it's a stainless steel piston that's a 2.25 inch diameter. This will provide fast responsive braking. And this kit requires minimal maintenance, saving you time and money. Actually, if you even look on the outside of the caliper, they do laser-etched instructions on the caliper to take the guesswork out of installing the brakes and bleeding the brakes. Now, this kit does fit the Dexter 8,000 pound axles with the number 42 spindle. The wheel size that'll fit on this is 16 inches and larger. We mentioned the bolt pattern is 8 on 6.5 inches. Stud diameter is 9/16 of an inch. The rotor diameter itself is 13 inches. And if you look at the caliper mounting brackets right here, you'll notice the four holes in it. It is designed to fit a four-bolt brake flange configuration that's on your axle. But that should do it for a look at the D-Max 13 inch threaded hub and rotor assembly kit with the 8 on 6.5 inch bolt pattern, the 9/16 inch studs for 8,000 pound axles.
