What Kodiak Brake Hardware is Compatible with Tie-Down Brakes on a Load Rite Trailer
Updated 11/28/2012 | Published 11/24/2012
Question:
I have a Load Rite trailer, disc brakes, 10 rotors with Tie-Down brand of calipers / rotors / hubs. 14 wheels. Dual axle trailer, 3 out of 4 calipers are frozen in a brakes-oninch condition. How do I determine the appropriate set of replacement Kodiak brake hardware?

I have contacted the two manufacturers but I have been unable to confirm the compatibility of the rotors from one company with the calipers from the other.
Depending on how tightly and for how long the original calipers have been frozen in their current position, it may be that your rotors have been damaged by scoring or corrosion. We always recommend that all braking system parts be replaced at the same time using rotors and calipers from the same manufacturer, which ensures both compatibility of parts and an equivalent lifespan for all components.
The Kodiak disc brake kit you reviewed, part # K2R35DS, will fit 3500 pound axles with wheel sizes 14 inches or larger. The 10 inch rotors have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. I have attached a link that shows how to determine your wheel bolt pattern. Please note the calipers require an actuator with a hydraulic pressure rating of at least 1500 psi. (Hydraulic actuator and brake lines are sold separately if required).
If these specs match your trailer then this Kodiak kit will be a suitable replacement.
