Can the Calipers of the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit K2HR2D Mount in 12:00 Position
Published 08/05/2016
Question:
On my Tennessee Pontoon boat trailer dual axel but with brakes only on the rear axel I have a clearance issue with the mounting bolts/sliders with the springs when I try to mount in the 9 oclock and 3 oclock positions. Can I mount them in the 12 oclock position instead and will that affect bleeding operation? Thanx in advance.

Mounting the calipers of the Kodiak brake kit part # K2HR2D in the 12:00 position will still work. Since the bleeders would still be on top of the setup the air will still bleed out of them.
Basically the calipers can install in nearly all positions but in the standard positions bleeding is a bit easier since air wants to float up.
