It sounds like you are needing replacement brake pads for the disc brakes on your trailer.

In order to find compatible replacements, you will first need to locate the brand name of your existing parts. Brake pads are brand specific and they will also be rated for certain calipers. For example, the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads # K225CPSS are for calipers that are rated for 3,500 pounds to 6,000 pounds.

I have attached a link that will take you to our available selection of brake pads for you to look through. I have also included an article on hydraulic disc brakes that you may find helpful.

My Kodiak Calipers say 205 on them, will these pads fit?

As long as your Kodiak disc brakes are 3,500 to 6,000 pound capacity assemblies, the Replacement Brake Pads # K225CPSS will work perfectly. It's hard to go just by the 205 number you mentioned (is it possibly a 225 instead?) that's stamped to the calipers, as this number can be found on higher-rated units as well.
