Need Trailer Parts

[HOTSPOT]

Trailer: 2003 Wesco Aluminum I-Beam 3500lb Torsion Tandem Axles Tie Down Super Lube Tapered Spindles with Kodiak Disc Brakes

Trailer has a little over 30k miles on it. Brakes on the front axle only and they need to be replaced. They are Kodiak.

I have shopped around and can only find a couple vendors that have everything I need.

I want to replace the entire brake assembly on each side and the idler hubs on the rear axle. May as well do it all at one time.

This is the best I have found so far:

Eastern Marine Trailer Parts Superstore

1 KODIAK 10" Trailer Disc Brake Assy, S-CAD 1561002 $124.95 Total: $249.90

2 SuperLube 1.980" I.D. Hub/Drum Dust Cap #81168 5256079 $7.99 Total: $15.98

3 1" ID Round - TANG Washer 5257018 $1.89 Total: $7.56

4 1-3/8" x 1-1/16" Bearing, 5 on 4.5" Galv. Hub Kit #81093 5256183 $56.95 Total: $113.90

Basket Total: $387.34

Shipping is $29.50 so the grand total is $416.84

The idler hubs are a little high, but their price on the Kodiak SCAD is hard to beat.

Look good to y'all folks?

Steve, did you try www.championtrailer.com (Slidell, LA)? I've found that they generally have the best prices on Tie Down stuff, and I believe they have Kodiak too.

I have yet to order anything from them but a hub and bearings, but that is who I use and came recommended on another forum.

Sounds really cheap to me.

I have used both Champion and Eastern and they are both good. When one doesn't have the does so it is usually just a availability issue not price.

I just purchased Kodiaks form this place and the beat everyone including thise listed above. The shipping was CHEAP! Drop shipped from Kodiak. I paid less for the kit with stainless calipers than the other places were chaging for the full cadmium kits.

I have ordered from Champion in the past as well, but they do not carry the Kodiaks.

I don't see the Kodiak SCAD Integral Hub/Rotor Kit on tufftrailer.com, can you post a link? The description says the rotor fits over a standard 545 hub (not included)

Thanks!

Here's another source you will want to price what you need...

[Mr. Demeanor]

I would just give them a call and get a quote with shipping. I think this is the kit your talking about (integral rotor/hub) http://www.tufftrailer.com/store/index.php...products_id=267

At $216.24 its a much better price than your list in the first post.

You should really think about bumping up to the stainless steel calipers. They will outlast the trailer and its the one part that you cant easily change out. I would even think about getting a spare hub/rotor assembley. Its very easy to change out a hub o the side of road. Bearings, not so easy.

Got all the work done last night. TrollnHeel did all the work while I watched.

The old stuff was shot to say the least, but everything came off easily.

The Kodiak SCAD brakes are a quality product.

I will probably get a few MPG more in the Expe now!!!!

After all my research and price checking, Eastern Marine had the best overall price and quick delivery.
