• Will Kodiac 3,500lb Disc Brakes Fit To UFP 4200 Axle
  These axles only use one common bearing combination for the inner and outer bearings. For the inner bearing, a 4,400 pound axle normally uses # L68149 and for the outer bearing it's usually # LM67048 vs. the outer bearing of # L44649 for a 3,500lb axle. Definitely check your bearings size and measure the spindles where the bearings sit. To make sure that the hub-and-rotor assembly you're looking at will work with your trailer spindle, you will have to either measure your spindle or...

• Comparing the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35DS with a Tie Down G5 Disc Brake Kit
  Do you currently have a disc brake kit? If it was that badly damaged within a year then you either got a bad set of brakes, something was installed incorrectly, or you have an issue on your trailer that needs to be fixed. The Kodiak kit # K2HR35DS comes with a 3-year warranty so if it was a product defect I would cash-in on that warranty. Since we don't carry the Tie Down G5 disc brake kit it is a little difficult to compare them side-by-side, but one of the major things that I noticed...

• Disc Brake Kit Recommendation for 1998 Mastercraft Single Axle Trailer Model SS 19
  Your bearing numbers mean you have a standard 3,500 lb trailer axle so for a disc brake kit you'd want the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35DS for just the hub/rotors, mounting brackets, and calipers. Or if you wanted a kit that included a surge actuator and brake lines plus what was mentioned earlier you'd want the part # T4843300.

• Replacement Disc Brake Kit for UFP Brake System on Trailer

I have attached a short video demonstration and the complete installation instructions for this kit that you can also check out.

• Converting Boat Trailer to Hydraulic Disc Brakes to Use In Saltwater
  For a trailer that will be used in saltwater, the best option for rotors, hubs, and calipers is those made of stainless steel. Galvanized coating is the second best option for saltwater, and then dacromet coatings, which provide extra resistance to saltwater over standard assemblies that are not treated. For the number of times a year you plan to launch in saltwater, I recommend going with components that offer the most rust and corrosion resistance, like stainless steel components....

• Boat Trailer with Disc Brakes on Front Axle Slamming Back and Forth when Stopping
  It sounds like your boat trailer simply does not have quite enough stopping power when you are applying the brakes from your tow vehicle. This will certainly result in the back and forth slamming/jerking you are experiencing. I do recommend adding disc brakes to the rear axle of your trailer. Doing this should greatly reduce these symptoms. In order to choose the right disc brake assembly for your trailer, you will need to know the axle capacity, wheel bolt pattern and the part numbers...

• What do I Need to Complete an Electric over Hydraulic Brake System for my Trailer With 3,500 axles
  The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern # K2HR35DS is an excellent choice for an electric over hydraulic brake system. This kit doesn't come with lug nuts or bearings. The lug nuts are part # CE11051, and the bearings are part # L68149 and part # L44649. The first thing you are going to want to install on your trailer is brake lines. We have the Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # 18SI-BLKIT if you are just putting the brakes on one axle. Since you have 2 axles that means you...

• Switching from Oil Bath Drum Brakes to Disc Brakes
  When it comes to swapping your drum brakes for disc brakes, we offer standard grease filled hub/rotors with the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. At this time we do not offer oil bath style hub/rotors with the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. I recommend using the grease filled over the oil bath anyway. Oil bath hubs must be closely watched if they are submerged in water because oil will breakdown much faster than grease. The other problem is that when a seal goes out in a grease hub you can make it home...

• Disc Trailer Brake Kit Recommendation for a 1997 EZ Loader Boat Trailer

• Replacement Disc Brakes for a Venture Boat Trailer for Salt Water
  You have some common bearings there. For a combination stainless steel and dacromet which is going to offer the most corrosion resistance you can use # K2HR35DS which has the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, 1/2 inch studs, and fits 13 inch and larger wheels. For a kit that is all the same except that it is all dacromet use # K2HR35D. For salt water environments the best option is going to be stainless steel. The only problem with stainless is that it is expensive.

• Recommended Disc Brake Kit for a 2004 EZ-Loader with Tandem Dexter Axles
  Adding a disc brake system will be a great addition to your 2004 EZ-Loader boat trailer with tandem axles. The parts you will need for this are a disc brake kit and a hydraulic disc brake actuator. I recommend the Kodiak disc brake kit # K2HR35DS because it will have stainless steel calipers and 2 corrosion resistant dacromet plated hub and rotor assemblies. Another option for you to look at is the Kodiak disc brake assembly # K1HR35S as it includes a single stainless steel rotor, stainless...

• Replacing Tie Down Disk Brakes with Kodiak Disk Brakes for a Tie Down 3,500 lb Spindle

• Recommendations to Prevent Rust on Disc Brakes for Boat Trailer
  To better prevent rusting on your disc brakes, I recommend upgrading to a combination stainless steel and dacromet brake assembly like the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 10 Inch Hub/Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2 # K2HR35DS. This type of construction and finish will offer the most corrosion resistance. I still recommend cleaning them as best you can just as you have been doing, as this will only help to extend the life of the brakes, especially considering their high exposure to salt water that you mentioned...

• Disc Brake Conversion On 5th Wheel With Tandem 4400 lb Axles
  We don't carry a kit compatible with the 4400 lb axles. We have 3500 lb assemblies that will fit your axles, but that will lower your capacity and will require new wheels because they are only compatible with 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. If you choose to go this route, I recommend the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 10" Hub/Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2 - Dacromet and Stainless - 3,500 lbs # K2HR35DS. The brake flange may require customized mounting because you have the 4400 lb axle. We will also need...

• Can Spacers Be Used to Align Disc Brake Caliper When Converting from Drum to Disc Brakes
  First, thank you for your purchase from etrailer earlier this year. I checked with my contact at Kodiak about your issue with alignment of your disc brake calipers with the rotors after converting your boat trailer from drum to disk brakes. He advised that it is not a problem or safety issue to add new material to provide the extra 1/4-inch or so spacing you needed to align your calipers with your rotors. They key is to use steel washers (if you used washers) and grade 8 bolts. If...

• Easy Way to Determine if Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35DS Fits Trailer
  Does your trailer have 3,500 lb axles on it? If so, then yes the # K2HR35DS would fit and work well. One quick way to determine this is to measure the diameter of the axles. If that dimension is 2-3/8 inches then you do have a 3,500 lb axle and the # K2HR35DS is a confirmed fit. If you have a different dimension axle email me back and I'll see what we have that would fit.

• Disc Brake Upgrade for Tandem Axle Boat Trailer
  If you are going to install brakes on only one axle of a tandem trailer you will place them on one or the other depending on the axle type. If the trailer uses torsion axles the brakes should go on the front axle. If the trailer uses a leaf spring suspension then the brakes go on the rear axle. Naturally, it is better to use brakes on both axles, a kit that is rated for each axle's 3500-lb capacity. You can install either a hydraulic or an electric-over-hydraulic disc brake setup on...

• Fitment of the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35DS on a Road King I Beam Aluminum Trailer
  I spoke to my contact at Kodiak and he informed me that you would be able to fit the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35DS on your Roadking Aluminum I beam trailer. He said that your boat trailer has the frame extended out pretty wide and that can interfere with caliper installation, but as long as you bleed the brakes with the bleeder valve pointing up you could then install the caliper wherever needed to clear the frame, including in the 6:00 position.

  The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35DS is for one axle. So you need to purchase two of them for your trailer. Kodiak does not offer a tandem axle DAC/SS kit at this time. If you need an actuator as well, you can use the HydraStar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator # HS381-9065 if you have electric over hydraulic brakes. If you have surge brakes you can use # T2480000. These will work with Kodiak brakes and keep you from having to piece everything together. For a Kodiak tandem...

• Recommended Disc Brake System for Salt Water Boat Trailer with Tandem Axles
  To get the best braking power for your boat trailer you would want to have disc brakes on both axles. If you happen to be limited to one axle then you would want the rear outfitted. With a 5,000lb boat you likely have two 3,500lb torsion axles. The best finish for a salt water application is going to be stainless steel, next would be the KodaGuard and then Dacromet. For a 3,500lb 10 inch hub and rotor in stainless you will want a quantity of 2 # K1HR35S. Stainless is the best for...

• Parts Needed to Add Disc Brakes to Drum Brake Trailer
  If you have Atwood surge coupler # 83010 and you want to convert the trailer from drum brakes to disc brakes on one axle you will need to either replace the coupler or replace the master cylinder inside it with one that delivers the higher psi pressure required by disc brakes. Disc brakes need psi pressure in the 1500-1600-psi range so a new 8K-rated actuator/coupler like # T4747220 is needed. If the trailer has two 3500-lb axles (which would be expected if it has the 8K-rated Atwood...
