trailer brakes

[cfelton]

Im pricing out a new brake job for my tandem axle trailer. It came with some rusted out drums and a froze up accuator cylinder. I figure I can replace the master cyl for 60.00 and upgrade to disc on one axle for about 320.00. I guess thats not to bad to be able ta stop safely. Ya'll got any suggestions, I'm all ears!

Rip them out throw them away!! Less problems!!

I have never had a working pair for long!! Just a PIA!! My 23 Sea Ox doesn't have them and never will!!

Besides there is nothing like the feeling of slamming the breaks and looking up say a prayer your going to stop!!

Never...NEVER put tie down disk brakes on your trailer. IF your going disks, go Kodiak. Otherwise, junk em. I like having trailer brakes personally, and went Kodiak about over a year ago. Trouble free so far. There is a thread on the swap in the projects section.

Air, help me out here.
I don't have brakes either but thought this would be a perfect upgrade being stainless and all.
Hows about some info on the Kodiak system and the negetive aspects of the tie downs.

Hey C

Check out Portsmouth trailer sales, about 6 years ago I had to change my drum brakes and I just bought the replacement shoes. By the time I changed over and replaced the rusted parts I only saved about $15.00 each side.

Justa a thought but if you can't afford stainless then just buy the complete changeout assembly, unbolt 4 bolts and the brake line and slap the new ones in place.

Points to consider for Integral (One Piece) Hub & Rotor
(In this type, the rotor and hub are cast as a single unit. Wheel studs are pressed into the rotor. Bearing races are furnished.) Hub and rotor are machined together. This minimizes rotor runout. Hub and rotor are balanced as one unit, which offers a smoother ride. Ease of installation when retroffitting and/or upgrading from drum brakes.

What makes Kodiak Disc Brakes the Best
Automotive Quality Casting. Rotors are 100% tested and balanced to meet very strict specifications. Our Rotors are vented to improve heat dissipation. All gray iron rotors are 35,000 PSI tensile strength castings for longer rotor life, improved structural integrity and superior performance.
Kodiak caliper mounting brackets are durable, heavy duty casting of ductile iron or stainless steel. They utilize an embossment in the design to give more thread contact for the caliper guide bolt to insure a tight fitting and secure connection. All Kodiak brackets have side support, therefore the bracket carries the load not the bolts.
All Kodiak calipers are of low drag design. This retracts the piston further than the competition, which equates to cooler running brake. 100% high and low pressure tested. Contains 2 special bolts with Thread Locker (use socket or allen wrench), dual port bleed screw, 2-1/4" stainless steel piston (largest in the industry) & organic NAO pads.
