Replacement Reliable CL-1000 Calipers for Hydroglide Trailer

Published 10/10/2019

Question:

I have a tandem axle Hydroglide Trailer Mfd. by Taylor marine on 08/09/2001. The calipers are frozen and i need to remove and replace them. They appear to be Reliant brand with the label CL-1000. I cannot find reliant brand calipers anywhere and was wondering if any of the kodiak or Tie down calipers were compatible? The caliper brackets on my rotors look similar to some of the caliper and brackets on this site but Im unsure of the compatibility.

Based on my research, the Kodiak Disc Brake Caliper # KDBC225DAC should work perfectly as a replacement for the existing Reliable CL-1000 Calipers on your trailer. This hasn't been officially tested by the manufacturer but based on the specs they appear to be an exact match.

They are designed for 3,500 to 6,000 pound rated axles and work on 10 and 12" diameter rotors. I have also attached an image of a customer-submitted review that describes using these to replace original Reliable parts without an issue.
