@Chris Hey Chris, the disc brake kit does not come with stainless steel mounting bolts as this kit uses the hardware that is already on the trailer when you remove the previous brake kit. The rest of the brake assembly itself is stainless steel.

@NickS Do you sell the bolts? If so, what is the part number or size? Thanks

@Chris We do not carry the bolts for that brake kit since it uses original hardware. I recommend contacting DeeMaxx directly or trying your local trailer store. They would be the same size as the ones on the trailer already.

I recommend upgrading to a fully stainless steel hub and brake set. First you will need the Kodiak Trailer Hub #KH84545S. This will need Bearings #L68149 & #L44649 and a Grease Seal #58846 for each of your hubs. You will then be able to add the…

Yes, you can! The DeeMaxx Rotors like the item #DE47VR are capable of being swapped out for Kodiak brake rotors. They are compatible with their calipers.

Answer 5

For a stainless steel caliper to match what you currently have you would want the part #KDBC225S. For the stainless rotor with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern, part #KR10S. For the stainless mounting bracket part #KCMB10RS. All of these components…

Answer 10

So you'd have to change out everything, including the brake mounting flange, as the 6-bolt is simply not used anymore. There isn't a direct replacement from Dexter, so you'd need a 5-bolt brake mounting flange welded on (assuming you have…

The correct size nuts for the brake mounting flange bolts you have on your trailer is going to depend on which bolts you have. There is not really a standard thread pitch for braking assemblies so it will be best to replace the nuts and bolts with…

Answer 12

The attachment bolts for a 5-bolt brake assembly like the part #AKEBRK-6R should be torqued to 30-50 foot/lbs. If you don't have a torque wrench handy, if you tighten the bolts until the lock washers flatten out, you'll be pretty darn close…
