If your drum brakes are fading or uneven, this 13" DeeMaxx disc brake kit gives you stronger, smoother stopping. The 1-piece hub-and-rotor assemblies eliminate the gap where rust and runout can start, while ceramic brake pads keep braking consistent. The kit fits 8,000-lb axles with #42 spindles, uses 9/16" wheel bolts, and includes all bearings, races, seals, E-Z Lube caps, and stainless lug nuts for one axle.
Saltwater and winter roads can ruin unprotected brakes fast. The Maxx coating on these rotors, calipers, and brackets lasts more than 1,000 hours in salt spray testing—far beyond zinc or Dacromet finishes. It keeps moisture and rust from taking hold even after repeated launches or coastal towing, giving you long-term reliability in harsh environments.
Steep grades and heavy loads push brakes hard. DeeMaxx vented hub-and-rotor assemblies move air through the core to dissipate heat quickly. Drainage holes in the hat section also help shed water and reduce internal corrosion. The result is cooler running brakes that hold performance over time and resist brake fade on long descents.
Disc pads are easy to swap because the calipers mount outside the hub—no springs or magnets to fuss with. Each caliper has laser-etched bleeding instructions right on the back, so you always have a guide when it’s time for maintenance. With fewer moving parts than drum brakes, this setup takes less upkeep to stay in top shape.
Automotive-grade materials and a side-support caliper bracket design put the load on the bracket instead of the bolts—reducing wear and keeping everything tight. These brakes passed the SAE J2681 automotive brake test for friction performance and come backed by a 7-year warranty for dependable service mile after mile.

Hello, everybody. This is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the DeeMaxx 13 inch Hub and Rotor Assembly Kit with the eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern, the nine 16th inch studs for 8,000 pound axles, and it has a Max coating finish on this. Now this kit will let you upgrade your trailer from drum to disk brakes for superior performance. It will include everything laid out here on the table. It'll include the two Max coat cast iron hub rotor assemblies, and it even has the pre-installed bearing races in them.
Comes with the two inner bearings, the two outer bearings, the two grease seals, the two EZ lube grease caps. The lug nuts are included, you can see, a total of 16 nine 16ths by 18 lug nuts. And then the calipers are included. They are a Max coated caliper with brake pads and installation bolts. And over here are the Max coated caliper mounting brackets.
Now this kit will require a hydraulic brake actuator that's rated at 1500 PSI or above, and brake lines to activate your brakes. Those items we do sell separately on our website. Now the hub and rotor assembly we talked about, it's a one piece hub and rotor assembly. This will reduce the chance of uneven rotor wear. If you look on the side here, it's a vented design.
They have the vents that go all the way around. This will dissipate heat faster to prevent premature brake pad wear. And also, if you look on the hat section right here of the hub and rotor assembly, they have the drainage holes in here. And this will allow water to drain easily, further minimizing any corrosion. Now this is great for towing and launching your boat in either fresh or brackish type water.
The corrosion resistant Max coating that's on the hub and rotors, the calipers, and the caliber brackets will have a salt spray rating of over a thousand hours. This will offer dramatically shorter stopping distances and a lot smoother controlled braking. Now I did want to show you in the calipers, they do come with the ceramic brake pads to increase the stopping power. And the piston in here, on the inside, is a stainless steel two and a quarter inch diameter piston, which will provide fast, responsive braking. And the other nice thing about it, it requires minimal maintenance, saving time and money. And one of the nice features on this, if you look at the outside of the caliper, they actually laser etch instructions on the caliper to take any guesswork out of installing and bleeding the brakes. Now this is designed to fit the AL-KO 8,000 pound axles with the number 42 spindle. The wheel size that'll fit on these is 16 inches and larger. We mentioned the bolt pattern is eight on six and a half inches. Wheel bolt diameter of nine 16ths inch. Rotor diameter is 13 inches. And I wanted to show you on the caliper brackets, you can see they have the four holes in them, so they are designed to fit a four bolt brake flange configuration your axle. But that should do it for a look at the DeeMaxx 13 inch Hub and Rotor Assembly Kit with the eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern, the nine 16ths inch studs for 8,000 pound axles.
