Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at, and I'm gonna show you how to install, the Kodiak 3,500 pound disc brakes. The biggest reasons why people will want to switch from the traditional electric drum brakes to hydraulic disc brakes is, first off, it's going to be a much more responsive breaking. It's gonna be stronger. And when it comes to changing your brakes, you don't have to mess with drum brakes, you can change your brake pads just like you do on your car. These are gonna be available in a few different finishes.
Here we have the standard Dacromet finish. There's also gonna be a ChromaGuard and a stainless steel finish. They're gonna come two to a kit. So if you have tandem axles like we have here, you're gonna have to pick up two kits. So with that being said, let's go ahead and show you how to get them installed.
To start our installation, we need to remove our wheels and tires from our axle. (drill whirls) Now, we're working on a lift today, but if you're at home, you want to lift the trailer by the frame and use a set of jack stands in order to keep one set of wheels and tires off the ground while your other ones have wheel chocks on. (drill whirls) Next, we need to remove our grease cap. (hammer bangs) And you can usually do this with a screwdriver pretty easily. Get it in behind there and then twist the screwdriver.
Just work your way around. And we'll take a paper towel, wipe off all this old grease, so we can see what we're doing. We'll need to pop off this retention ring that is holding our nut in place. Now it should be able to thread right off. And pull the drum off and set it down.
Now, we can take our wiring and disconnect it. And we'll take a socket and a wrench, and we'll break these nuts loose on the backside. And you just slide your brakes right off. To get our new brakes installed, we'll have to start with the brake flange itself that our caliper will be attached to. You will need to pick up separate hardware in order to get this attached. You just slide it in. On disc brakes, you will always want this flange to be on the back side of the tire. And then we'll slide on a lock washer and we'll snug these down. Now, we're gonna use this bearing packer to pack grease into our bearings. Make sure we throw it in there. Just press it down. And then all we have to do is pump our grease in, and we're gonna pack them with high temperature bearing grease. Now, I'm gonna show you another method. If you don't have a bearing packer, you can just take some grease out of a tub, make sure it's that same high temperature bearing grease. Just put it in your hand, and then all you have to do is take the larger diameter side of the bearing and just push it in to the bearing itself. And you can see that it's working by watching the grease come out the other side. And don't forget to pack both the inner and the outer bearing. Now we need to put a little bit of grease on our spindle. Now we can start assembling our bearings. So we'll take our inner bearing. Drop it in place. It's gonna be the larger one. And now we need to put our seal in place. So we'll set our seal right on top. And all you wanna do is you wanna make sure the seal is nice and square on top. And then take a board, lay flat on top. Start tapping into place. (hammer bangs) And what the board helps with is it helps to drive it in evenly without damaging the seal. Now we take our brake rotor and slide it on. And you just wanna make sure that seal sits back on the end of that spindle. We'll take our outer bearing, slide it into place. Then we'll have to reuse the old washer on the outside. So we'll clean off (indistinct), slide it over, and then our nut. We will have to reuse the nut, also. When we're tightening down this axle nut, we want to get it nice and snug. You'll want it that tight to be able to seat the bearings, but the rotor is not able to move freely. So what we need to do is we'll back it off slowly until we get the right amo
