Replacement Disc Brake Caliper for Reliable CL-1000

Updated 07/17/2020 | Published 07/15/2020

Question:

My frozen front right caliper on my tandem MasterCraft trailer is frozen. The rest are good. I saw the response on the Reliable CL-1000. My left hand front caliper, which is good, is CL-1000. My calipers have an R in an oval cast. The number on my caliper is CR 1000. Do you have a rebuild kit, or are they even made any more? Is there a caliper I could buy that will work replacing that one right front caliper?

The specs listed for the # KDBC225DAC Kodiak caliper I found online match up with those of the Reliable CL-1000. Either would be compatible with a 3500 to 6000 lb axle but because it hasn't been officially tested, If I were in your shoes I'd replace both calipers to ensure you're getting the exact same braking on each side for the sake of safety.

We don't have a rebuild kit known to be compatible with the Reliable CL-1000 caliper.
