Old style tie down brake caliper

red wrench tune up on the brakes, never look back

Translation: Cut them off with a blowtorch and allow yourself some extra stopping distance when trailering..

Until you can make the proper fix.. And be legal again...
Tie down may have removed their product from the shelf entirely, they have had a lot of issues with the calipers. I like Kodiac if I were to ever do it again.

And they should have taken them off the market...I bought 4 sets for my tandem trailer at the time and those things weren't worth a dime...and Tie Down WOULD NOT service them...take 'em off, like Spare suggested and save up for the Kodiaks Ridge mentioned...

Red Wrench...LMBO!!

Thanks for all the advice... I think that's the route I'm going as I replied in a PM to spare it's only 14 miles to the launch for me but its all down hill from my house and steep downhill. Not gonna be moving it till I get this fixed. Already found a complete set of Kodiaks for the axle, plan on ordering and going that route. I never liked the tie down... seemed to drag and to go through a set of pads every year (probably less than 1000 miles). Just didn't have the money for this repair right now but that's the beauty of owning a boat. Love this site!
