Question:
Can I use actuator DM62VR on the existing coupler hinge?

Expert Reply:
If your trailer is equipped with a fold-away coupler hinge like # FHDPB330301 then you can still use a surge brake actuator like the excellent Zinc-Plated # 099-175-20. The only thing you will want to add is a flexible brake line across the hinge like the Titan # T0776500 to accommodate this function.
Please note that the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35D referenced in your question includes rotor-and-hub assemblies, calipers, mounting brackets, and mounting bolts but it does not include a disc brake actuator. This will need to be added separately.
I have attached a great article that details adding disc brakes to a trailer that you might also find helpful.
