Question:
Hello, I have a question about trailer brakes. I currently have disk brakes, the kodiak 225 ss. I have the rotor with the integrated hub. I would like to convert to an idler hub and the slip on rotor. Will this work for me to exchange? Thanks.

Hello Eric,
Yes, you will be able to convert from a hub and rotor setup to an idler hub with a slip-on rotor.
If your axle is rated for 3,500 pounds and has a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, you'll want the # KH84545S for the idler hub and # KR10S for the slip-on rotor. I stayed with stainless steel components to match your stainless steel caliper.
If your axle is rated for something other than 3,500 pounds, or if you’d prefer non-stainless options, just let me know.
What kind of trailer is this going on?
