Specs:
More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes, and with good reason. Disc brakes deliver consistent braking - even at highway speeds - unlike drum brakes, which often show a substantial drop in braking torque at higher speeds. In addition, disc brakes offer a substantially shorter stopping distance than drum brakes.
Disc brake calipers have only one moving part, rather than the many found in drum brakes. This means that there are fewer parts to maintain, fewer parts to get damaged and fewer parts to have to repair or replace, thus reducing maintenance costs.
Kodiak's slip-on, stainless steel rotor makes it easy to convert an idler axle to a disc brake axle. Simply place the rotor over your hub. It is most often wheel bolt piloted for a loose fit and then held in place by the wheel itself. With a separate rotor and hub, you can easily repair or replace one element of your brake system without having to junk the whole thing.
Kodiak calipers are constructed of stainless steel to prevent flexing and rust. Less flex means more braking torque, resulting in smooth, even braking every time. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel piston is 30 percent larger than standard pistons, ensuring shorter stopping distance and increased torque. In addition, the unique low-drag design of Kodiak's calipers allows the piston to retract farther than in most standard models, giving you a cooler-running brake.
Designed for axles with 4-bolt brake flange configurations, the included mounting brackets are made of heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant stainless steel that is embossed to provide additional threading for guide bolts. The added thread strength ensures a tighter, more secure connection between the caliper and bracket. Another unique feature of Kodiak's brackets is the side-support angle, which guarantees that the load is carried by the bracket, rather than the bolts.

Today we're going to review part number K2R35S. This is the Kodiak disc brake kit with the 10" rotor, 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, stainless steel finish, and it fits 3,500 pound axles. Now these brake assembles will make it easy to change from an idler axle to a disc brake axle. Your disc brakes will deliver better performance than drum brakes, and it will give you more consistent stopping even at highway speeds, and it's also a dramatically shorter stopping distance. Also, the maintenance costs are lower than for drum brakes because you'll have fewer moving parts to maintain, repair, or replace. Now this kit is all stainless steel construction, which is very durable and rust-proof. It's ideal for extended marine use.
All the parts have a 1,000 hour salt spray rating. Now these over-the-hub rotors, these are a slip-on over-the-hub rotor. You can see you just line it up with the wheel studs on the idler hub and this will slide right over. Fits over the standard idler hub and is held in place by the wheel and the wheel lugs. You can remove this easily for maintenance.
There's no need to replace an entire hob and rotor assembly if only your hub or the rotor becomes damaged. If you notice on this rotor also it is vented so that will effectively dissipate the heat, and it prevents any heat-related damage to the rotor. Now on the calipers they are also a stainless steel construction. They are self-adjusting for smooth equal braking. The stainless steel construction does not flex like aluminum. Gives you a absolute corrosion protection so it's ideal for the extended marine use.
Also, the piston is a stainless steel piston that's in here. It has a low drag design, which means it retracts the piston farther than other calipers, keeps the brake pads off the rotor so it gives you a cooler-running brake. Now that stainless steel piston right here, right down in here, it is 2-1/4" in diameter, which is about 30% larger than other brands, so that will give you more braking torque than the competition. Then the brake pads, right here here you can see they are high performance ceramic brake pad. Now the stainless steel mounting brackets, they will provide strength and durability. You notice them, they do have a nice side support design. This will ensure that the load's placed on the whole bracket, not just on the bolts.
Up at the very top it does have some extra embossing for additional thread contact, so when you use your caliper bolts to attach the caliper to this bracket it will ensure a tight, secure mount. If you notice this bracket it is a 4-bolt brake flange mounting configuration, so this will need to be put on an axle that has a 4-bolt brake flange. Now if your axle doesn't have a flange, we do sell a weld-on flange separately on our website. No this kit does include two full brake assemblies, so it's actually two stainless steel rotors, slip-on rotors, two stainless steel calipers, two stainless steel caliper mounting brackets, and then the four stainless steel caliper mounting bolts. Now one note I do want to mention is that when you do switch to disc brakes they do require a higher line pressure, about 1,500 psi, when compared to the standard drum brakes. What you need to make sure is that on your trailer you will have a brake actuator that will at least have a minimum of 1,500 psi rating for it to work correctly. A few specs on this. The axle capacity it fits on is 3,500 pounds. It does fit the axle with a number 84 spindle. does use a wheel size of 14" and larger. The bolt pattern is a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern. The wheel stud size is 1/2", so it does use 1/2" lung nuts. Now the overall diameter on one of these is 10-7/8". Again, just to mention on the brake flange, it does use the 4-bolt brake flange configuration. That should do it for the review on part number K2R35S, the Kodiak disc brake kit with the 10" rotor and 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, and the finish is in stainless steel. .
