What are the most significant features of the Kodiak Disc Brake System?
|
|
The Kodiak Disc Brake System is a proven system that includes a rotor that fits over the axle hub*, combined with a caliper and mounting bracket that attach to the axle end assembly by bolting to the standard brake flange. The wheel studs are pressed into the hub only. The rotor is a loose fit on the hub, and is retained by the wheel, which, in turn, is retained by the wheel nuts. Removal of the rotor can be accomplished with little effort once the caliper has been removed. No machining is required prior to installation. Kodiak disc brake rotors are sized as follows: | 10" Rotor which fits over the standard 545* hub. |
| 12" Rotor which fits over the standard 655 hub. |
| 13" Rotor which fits over the standard 865 hub. | |

| NOTE: The term 545 refers to a 5 bolt hub with a 4.5" bolt circle; 655 refers to a 6 bolt hub with a 5.5" bolt circle; and 865 refers to an 8 bolt hub with a 6.5" bolt circle. * For situations where it is preferred, Kodiak has also developed integral (one piece) hub/rotors for the 3.5k, 5.2k, 6k, and 7k axles.
