Does Brake Caliper Mounting Flange Need to be Modified to Install Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR2D
Updated 04/08/2019 | Published 04/06/2019
Question:
It appears that the brake flange on the axle must be modified to get these to work. I do not see any other way that the piston would be able to slide past the brake hanger enough so that it will function. I took some pictures from the kodiak website that seems to confirm this. You might wish to add this to the description so that other customers do not end up frustrated...

If you install the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR2D with the included bolt on mounting flange you would not have to worry about the piston not fitting with the bracket. I attached a picture that shows the backside of the caliper and you can see that the piston does not stick out past the bracket mounting surface.
