Disc Brakes

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.


Over-the-Hub Rotor

Kodiak's slip-on, cast iron 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.


Calipers

Kodiak calipers are constructed of cast iron to prevent flexing. 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.


Mounting Brackets

Designed for axles with 5-bolt brake flange configurations, the included mounting brackets are made of heavy-duty ductile iron 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.

  • Will Slip On Rotors Fit the 7k Idler Hub part # AKIHUB-865-7-2-K
    Yes, the 7k hub part # AKIHUB-865-7-2-K that you referenced that has a 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern would be compatible with a 7k rated slip on rotor kit like part # K2R79E. This has the same capacity and wheel bolt pattern so it would work well.

This would also work really well with the Kodiak kit part # K2R79E you mentioned as well. We have a version of the Hydrastar that has brake lines too with the part # CAR-HBA16-2.

  • What Information is Needed to Convert from Drum Brakes to Disc Brakes
    To convert your trailer from drum brakes to disc brakes you will first need a disc brake kit. The kit will come with hubs and rotors, calipers and mounting brackets. However, before I can recommend a specific kit I will need to know the bolt pattern of the wheels on your trailer. I attached a link to an FAQ page on determining bolt patterns for you to check out also. If you email me back with your bolt pattern and the bearing numbers that are stamped on the hub bearings I can help you...

  • Does Kodiak Disc Brake Kit K2R79E Fit Dexter Axle 4766709
    The Dexter Axle 4766709 you mentioned is a 7,000 lb straight axle that is 88 inches long which is exactly what the Kodiak disc brake kit part # K2R79E is designed to fit. This is designed to fit 7k rated idler hubs with an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern like the Dexter part # 42865-KIT which also is a fit for your axle.
