• How to Determine Correct Disc Brakes for Trailer
  Where there are no specific fits for your trailer, there are disc brakes that can work. You didn't say if you were looking for slip-on or complete hub assemblies, but I can help you out. For slip on rotors, you just need to know your brake mounting flange and hub's wheel bolt pattern. For example, the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 12" Rotor - 6 on 5-1/2 - Stainless Steel - 5,200 lbs to 6,000 lbs # K2R526S requires your axle have a 5-bolt brake mounting flange and a hub with a 6 on 5-1/2" wheel...

• Does Kodiak Disc Brake Kit Include Bearings Races And Seals
  The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit, part # K2R526S you are referencing does not come with the bearings, races, or seals. This is a stainless steel brake kit with a 12 inch rotor and a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. This is designed for 5,200 to 6,000 lb axles and 15 inch or larger wheels. Since the spindle on your axle can be different sizes we will need to know what bearings you currently have. The simplest way is to find the numbers on the bearing and seal. The number can normally be found stamped...

• Inexpensive Corrosion Resistant Disc Trailer Brakes for Salt Water Use and a Boat Trailer
  The best possible material for saltwater applications is going to be stainless steel but since cost is a factor stainless would not be the way you would want to go. The next best thing is going to be a brake kit with Dacromet finish like # K2R526D. The Dacromet has a 400 to 600 salt spray rating but it is always a good idea to spray them of with fresh water after use in salt water. This kit is designed to fit over idler hubs with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern and 15 inch or larger wheels...

• The Location of the Electric Lockout Solenoid with Hydraulic Disc Brakes
  The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit, # K2R526S, do not have a lockout solenoid on them. The lockout solenoid mounts on the brake actuator and the normally open or normally closed function depends on the solenoid being used. For example, we offer the Titan Solenoid Valve, # T4748800, which is a normally open solenoid. This valve stays open, until it receives power (for backing up situations). The solenoid closes preventing pressure on the brake lines. At this time we do not offer a normally closed...

• Parts Needed to Add a Third Brake Axle to a Trailer
  To tee into your current brake setup you would need the part # T0778500. This would need to get added to the main brake feed line of your trailer. From there you would want to use a single axle trailer brake line kit like the part # DM5402. Basically everything from this kit would get used minus the long brake line. Basically the tee that you add in will go to the new brake assemblies and then using a flex line like part # BH-3MFS-1 back to the original axle lines. For stainless rotors...

• Can 7000 lb Disc Brakes be Used In Place of 6,000 lb Disc Brakes
  There would be a slight advantage to using 7,000 lb brakes in place of 6,000 lb brakes. The 7,000 lb brakes would not have tow work quite as hard reducing heat build up, but for the weight of your trailer, the 6,000 lb brakes should be able to handle the job well. The disadvantages that you listed are correct as well. When it comes to disc brakes, 7,000 lb brake assemblies will cost more than the 6,000 lb brakes and all of our 7,000 lb disc brake assemblies come with an 8 on 6-1/2 inch...

• Does Kodiak Disc Brake Kit K2R526S Come With Brake Pads

• Diameter of Inner Bore on Rotors in Kodiak 6 on 5-1/2 Disc Brake Kit K2R526S
  An add-on rotor-only disc brake kit for a 6-on-5-1/2 bolt pattern trailer hub, such as kit # K2R526S which is rated for 5200-lb and 6000-lb axles, has a slip-on rotor with an inner diameter of 3.65-inches. I took this measurement on this kit's rotors using a precision digital caliper. You'll want to choose a rotor-only kit for the rating of your axle. This is usually found on the main sticker or plate on the axle beam itself; or the axle rating may be indicated on the trailer's main...

• Replacement Disc Brake Assemblies for Boat Trailer Used in Salt Water
  For a saltwater marine environment stainless steel brake components are the best possible option for durability and corrosion resistance.

• Are Stainless Brake Rotors More Likely to Crack if Backed into Water
  If any rotor material got super hot and then immediately submerged underwater you run the risk of cracking them. Stainless isn't any more or less prone to this from our experiences. Normally by the time you get to the ramp and you've taken your time getting down it the brakes are cooled enough that this isn't an issue. But if your brakes were dragging for some reason on a long trip and you knew they were super hot I'd wait a while before backing trailer down. We have not had any issues...

• Does 12 Inch Kodiak Disc Brake Kit Require 5-Bolt Brake Mounting Flange
  The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 12" Rotor - 6 on 5-1/2 - Stainless Steel - 5,200 lbs to 6,000 lbs # K2R526S does require a 5-bolt brake mounting flange to work. You mentioned you have all the other requirements but that one, so the best option to use these brakes is to get a new 5-bolt flange welded on. I looked through each of our assemblies and there are none with similar mounting that attach to a 4-bolt flange. I have added links to video reviews for you to check out as well.

• Will Kodiak Disc Brake Kit Replace UFP Brakes On 5,200 Lb Torsion Axle
  The correct Kodiak Disc Brake Kit for a 5,200 lb axle is part # K2R526S for stainless or part # K2R526D for dacroment. In regards to compatibility, the brake mounting flange and spindle size are the only factors we can confirm. I don't foresee any issues but test fitting would be the only way to confirm. There are no exclusions for torsion axle trailers in general.
