If you’re ready to move on from worn or lagging drum brakes, this 10" DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit (#DE46YR) delivers smoother, more consistent braking. The one-piece hub-and-rotor design keeps everything balanced and even, minimizing vibration or rotor runout. Ceramic pads and stainless steel pistons give quick, responsive braking with less fade and shorter stopping distances.
Rust can ruin a good brake setup fast. This kit pairs stainless steel calipers with Maxx-coated hub-rotors and brackets that carry a 1,000-hour salt-spray rating—over three times the protection of Dacromet coatings. Drainage holes in the hat section let water escape quickly so moisture won’t sit inside the rotor. It’s tough enough for occasional saltwater use or long seasons on salted roads.
DeeMaxx designed these vented rotors to pull heat away fast during repeated stops or long downhill grades. The extra airflow reduces brake fade and pad wear while keeping braking smooth and predictable. This same engineering helped DeeMaxx brakes meet the demanding SAE J2681 automotive brake test for friction performance.
Everything you need to upgrade one 3,500 lb axle is in the box—two hub-rotor assemblies with inner (L68149) and outer (L44649) bearings, races, grease seals, zinc-coated caps, wheel bolts, and lug nuts. Laser-etched bleeding instructions on each caliper simplify maintenance later on. With bolt-on installation and minimal setup, it’s an easy weekend upgrade you can do yourself.
Automotive-grade materials, a 4-bolt brake flange configuration, 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, and 1/2" wheel bolts make this kit durable enough for daily towing duty. Backed by a 7-year warranty, it’s built to keep your trailer stopping straight and steady season after season.

Ratings & Reviews
Product was as expected, good quality braking system, installed easily in about 1-2 hours per wheel. Shipping and ordering was quick and easy. Time will tell more after installing on my fresh water boat trailer.
Unfortunately, it did not clear my 15” wheels properly, as indicated in the product description. I found by adding a 1/4” wheel spacer, that was just enough to get the clearance needed to prevent the calipers from rubbing on my 15” rims. (I have also seen others say that they used a grinder to take about 1/4” off the caliper body to get them to clear). This is the only reason for 4/5 stars.
Emma was great at helping me purchase these parts. They arrived two days earlier than expected as well. Your videos are also very well done and full of great information. I have some painting and rust removal to do before reassembly but will send pix when complete. Thx again
Madison was a great help and knew exactly what I needed for my application. Parts came quick and were easy to install.
Have not installed yet but the kit appears well made. Hoping the pads hold up well.
Braking is 1000x better than the OEM drum brakes. I've had to turn the brake controller way down because I was locking up the tires on a 14,000 lb RV. Will plan on putting on other trailers that I plan on keeping for a long time.
Absolutely 100 percent positive!!!
ETRAILER.COM is the fastest customer service i have ever seen !
Great Job!!!!
They definitely made a huge difference for stopping no question about it
Parts look good. One problem is the caliper plate sticks out 3/16 inches farther which means you have to change the plate . Drilling out the old plate is a nightmare.
Good product. Great service. Some damage occurred during shipping, but replacement parts were shipped free of charge.
Fast Delivery, great tracking and all parts fixed perfectly.
Still have not road tested them, but the ease of installation was great. All 4 wheels swapped out in one day.
Just got them, but haven't installed yet. They look of very high quality. So far happy with the purchase I will do another review once installed and working.
Has been reliable for 1 year
Well Designed and build. I took some time to remove old set - it was rusted in place reel good. But install of the new set was very easy.
The improvement in braking is very significant i am controlling brakes with electric/hydraulic actuator and the system works just like brakes on the car - very precise and sensitive.
I have not had much time on the road with these but from day 1 it was obvious I made the right choice. The items came in packaging that I would rate at 4 stars as there were some concerns but nothing drastic. The install was straight forward and everything went together as intended. I like the better braking control with the new system that works much better than the old set. My trailer is 2019 and the rotors were badly rotted, the calipers worked but were hanging up but these are a total game changer. Brakes work great!
Awesome people to work with. Finding the right trailer parts isn't easy. Amy J has helped me out quite a few times. This is where I will get all of my parts.
Easy to install, Fit perfect, and Wow, stops you so much better than drum brakes!
Only thing that I could suggest is a better product description of exactly what’s in the box. I thought the bearings would be greased. (Nope) and the rotor and hub were 2 parts. (1 part). Other than that it was a great experience:-)
Fit perfectly on my EZ Loader Tandem Axle Trailer from 2008
The rotors are of average quality. Beware!!! The wheel studs are too short if you have aluminum alloy wheels. I had to change all 36. Installation is still in progress.
I bet they are nice, if shipped and re-sold by a competent company. Unfortunately, we're dealing with Etrailer here. Well... on this one, the last order I ever make with them. Crappy packaging means the rotors were free to make minced meat out of everything else inside the boxes. Due to life, it was a year before I was able to install them on the trailer. On top of it all, they decided it would be a great idea reward the hard-earned money I spent with them by spamming me, sending me unwanted unsolicited email until I threatened them with a lawsuit (CAN SPAM act).
I ended up visiting the local Tool store popular in the Northern and getting the parts to repair what Etrailer's incompetence in packing wrought.
Very fast service and quality product
Braking effect is much more pronounced that my previous disc brakes. Parts delivered quickly. Installed to replace Knott calipers which had been locking up frequently- these calipers and rotors show no signs of corrosion or loss of brake effect after a couple of uses in saltwater. I would highly recommend purchasing mounting hardware as these do not come with any- also note if you have tandem axels you need to have “T” line splitters as the brake line inlet is standard 3/16 (or 1/8 NPT if you remove the included 90° fitting)- the Y splitter that my previous calipers used through the lower bleed fitting were too big. Very satisfied so far; just need to see how they hold up over time.
