Brake conversation

[sir-vivor]

Did see robertg thread on the subject of converting drums to disks but since my traier suspension is different , I didnt want to hijack his thread.

But, was wondering if I would be able to convert my drums to kodiac SS disks as well , with my type of suspension, ( I think it's called torque / tension but correct me if I'm wrong).

Thanks
Clint

Marty at Sealand RV in Richmond is a great guy. Honest and very knowledgeable.
I have an EZ loader trailer with these axles. Previous owner did the conversion.

You have torsion axles, same as my trailer. My Trailer came with disks but they bolt right on. Should work on yours!

Thinking I might do myself , doesnt look all that difficult, except stubborn bolts. But thanks for Sealand info, they did a small trailer repair 15 years ago , might be my go to guy if get into trouble , tks CS !

I had a recent tire blowout. So I was putting the tire back on, this afternoon. I took some pictures of my EZ Loader torsion axle trailer. Looks the same as yours? The previous owner did the conversion from surge drums to electric over hydraulic disc. This trailer is new to me, and I don’t know the total history. The center axle brakes and hub are different from the other two. Grease on the center and oil bath on the other two. Anyways, I’d say there’s various options as far as parts go.

Ss calipers are the best....huge upgrade. You will be happy with that choice.
