Question:
Howdy! I have an ezloader trailer that has the Reliable 10 oil bath rotors and it is time to replace them and the brakes currently has kodiak 225 calipers It is used 100 in salt water, so Im thinking stainless steel, but what do you recommend? and I need the information off the bearings correct? And im not stuck to using oil bath. so if going grease would save a significant amount of money id be willing to do that. thanks!

Hey Dave, thanks for hanging out! I did some research and what you'll need is the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35DKG. This kit includes new Kodiak 225 calipers, an integrated hub and rotor, and has a 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern.
These hubs aren't oil bath hubs, but can be made oil bath if you use the Kodiak XL ProLube Kit for 3500-lb Axles # XLPROLUBE1980KIT.
If you need anything else, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

Hey Dave, how did the Kodiak disc brake kit work out on your EZ Loader trailer? I'm curious if you stayed with the oil bath setup or switched to grease. Your update could make it easier for others who use their trailers in salt water.
