I put the Kodiak SS disc on the front axle of my V trailer. They work great and have held up well, no issues! Don't get in the salt water much but I think they'd hold up good!

Finished installation, next is proper bleed procedure.

Get yourself a vacuum bleeder, you will save yourself days of frustration over the next 20 years.

Will check it out thanks Randelman......

A few years ago I changed over to SS Kodiak calipers and coated rotors (not SS rotor too much $$$). We only dunk the trailer a few times a year. So far I've been happy.

You can buy a vacuum bleeder from a motorcycle shop for $40, air operated and worth the money. check them out at tucker rockey .com. I have one from when I worked on bikes and use it on cars and trucks.

Certainly not as good as a professional unit, But I've had one of the pump type for years and it''s still doing it's job. Since I only use it when I change fluid or shoes or pads it didn't make sense to buy an expensive unit.

Done - new SS brackets, hubs, disks, ceramic pads, bled, and new trailer tires. Took me more hours than it should have but ok...this is the time of year to do it.

I went with the ARISUN trailer hybrid tires after reading the reviews and also positives from Eastern Marine, Delaware.

Cost less to get the new complete tires on new wheels than buying just the tires and having mounted on the old rim. Looks good too.......
