Kodiak 225 Disc Brake Caliper & Pads for EZ Loader 250-029519

Kodiak Caliper with Pads

The Kodiak 225 Disc Brake Caliper & Pads for EZ Loader 250-029519 is a replacement disc brake caliper used on select EZ Loader boat trailer disc brake systems. This EZ Loader Kodiak 225 disc brake caliper helps restore proper trailer braking performance when the original caliper is sticking, leaking, corroded, damaged, or no longer applying brake pressure correctly.

Made by Kodiak for compatible EZ Loader trailer brake applications, this caliper comes with pads and is used with integral disc brake 10" and 12" rotor setups. EZ Loader lists this caliper kit for 2012-prior model-year applications and notes that it can replace Reliable, DeMax, and Kodiak caliper setups when the brake system, mounting, rotor, and fitment details match.

This caliper fits both sides, which means it may be used on either the left or right side of a compatible brake assembly when installed correctly. Proper fitment still matters because the caliper must match the rotor size, integral brake setup, bracket style, brake pad shape, mounting pattern, brake line connection, and original EZ Loader trailer brake configuration.

Built from zinc-plated steel, this caliper is designed for marine trailer brake service where road use, ramp launches, freshwater exposure, saltwater exposure, wet/dry cycles, and repeated braking are part of normal operation.

Typical EZ Loader Trailer Applications

This Kodiak 225 caliper with pads is commonly associated with select EZ Loader boat trailers equipped with integral 10" or 12" disc brake rotor systems. EZ Loader lists this caliper kit for 2012-prior model-year applications and notes that it can replace Reliable, DeMax, and Kodiak caliper kits when the brake system and fitment details match.

Always compare the part number, caliper casting, pad shape, bracket style, integral rotor setup, brake line connection, mounting bolt spacing, model year, and trailer VIN before ordering.

Kodiak 225 Fitment Checklist

Because this is a less common Kodiak-style caliper used on select EZ Loader trailer brake systems, photos and measurements can help confirm fitment before ordering.

• Confirm trailer brand, model, model year, and VIN when possible.
• Confirm this is a 2012-prior application when using the EZ Loader model-year note.
• Look for Kodiak 225, D-289, casting numbers, stamped codes, or faded markings.
• Confirm the trailer uses disc brakes, not drum brakes.
• Confirm the brake setup uses an integral disc brake 10" or 12" rotor application.
• Measure rotor diameter and rotor thickness.
• Measure brake pad length, height, and backing plate shape.
• Compare pad ear/tab shape and retention clip style.
• Measure caliper mounting bolt spacing.
• Photograph the caliper from the side and rear.
• Photograph the mounting bracket and bolt holes.
• Photograph the brake line connection.

Installation Considerations

Before replacing a brake caliper, inspect the full brake assembly. A sticking or leaking caliper may be caused by corrosion, contaminated brake fluid, damaged brake lines, worn pads, rotor damage, or actuator problems.

• Confirm the replacement caliper matches the original Kodiak 225-style setup.
• Inspect the rotor surface before installing the replacement caliper.
• Check brake lines, fittings, and actuator condition before bleeding the system.
• Replace damaged or contaminated brake fluid as needed during service.
• Bleed the brake system after caliper replacement.
• After installation, test the trailer brakes in a safe area before normal towing.

Symptoms of a Worn or Failing Brake Caliper

• Trailer pulling to one side during braking
• Dragging brake, excess heat, or burning smell near the wheel
• Uneven brake pad wear
• Brake fluid leak at or near the caliper
• Reduced braking performance
• Grinding, scraping, or rotor damage caused by pad/caliper problems
• Caliper piston sticking, seized, or not applying pressure correctly

Fitment Guidance

This is not a universal trailer brake caliper. Correct fitment depends on the trailer model, model year, VIN, integral rotor setup, bracket style, brake pad shape, piston setup, mounting bolt spacing, brake line connection, axle setup, and existing brake system.

• Confirm part number 250-029519 when possible.
• Compare the existing caliper body, pads, bracket, and brake line connection before ordering.
• Confirm the caliper is a Kodiak 225-style replacement.
• Use the D-289 marking as a helpful identification clue when present, but do not rely on one marking alone.
• Send photos if you are unsure about fitment.

Real-World Insight

Custom EZ Loader trailers may use different brake systems depending on the original build, axle package, brake actuator, model year, and trailer application. This Kodiak 225 caliper with pads can be the correct replacement for select 2012-prior EZ Loader applications, but fitment should be confirmed by the old caliper, pad shape, bracket, integral rotor setup, brake line connection, and trailer VIN before ordering.

Some Kodiak 225-style calipers may use pad shapes that cross-reference to automotive-style friction pads. For marine trailer use, confirm pad shape, backing plate, clip style, and corrosion-resistant material before substituting pads.
