Option For Replacing Tie Down 46304 Cailpers
Updated 01/05/2026 | Published 09/16/2024
Question:
I currently have the original Tie Down 46304 calipers on my 2009 Ranger boat trailer. The R/H caliper appears to be sticking and overheating and Id like to replace both calipers. From what I have researched, this Kodiak caliper part KDBC225DAC is a direct replacement. Is that correct?

Hey Blake, how did the swap to the Kodiak calipers go on your Ranger trailer? It’d be great to hear if they fixed the sticking issue. Your update could make it easier for the next person with the same problem.
