Bludot and disk brake install


GlennWest

Recommended Posts

I started this weekend to install the disk. Went to put Caliper bracket on and opps, wrong part. I had been sent 4 for smaller axles and 2 right. Done two wheels. So I installed the Bludot system. Found on truck the signal line is 5/8" and supply line 3/8". Is this normal? Will have to get a reducing fitting to hook it up. Got everything done I could. Brake lines run, and hooked up on two. Had to send etrailer pics since this order was sent direct from factory. Likely be Tuesday before I hear back from them.

Well, this isn't get fixed soon it seams. I thought last Saturday issue was solved. They sent 2 more of the brackets that are too small. I called Scott at ETrailer as soon as I got off work Friday. He researched it and seems they accidentally sent me 2 brackets for 8k axles originally. They were correcting that. Seems I have some of those Frankenstein axles Teton speced for their units. 7k axles with 8k ends/brakes. All the hubs, bearings, calipers are fitting. Just the caliper brackets are different.  All Teton states in brocher is 3 7k axles with larger 2 1/2" wide brake shoes. I didn't know that meant 8k ends. Scott says they will make it right. Not really their fault, not really my fault. Odd axles.

I have a 2006 Ketstone Cambridge that had Dexter 7k tubes with 8k Neverlube hubs with 12 1/4 x 3 3/8 [or something close to that] brakes. I just changed them out for 8k ezy lube axles. There were quite a few hybrid axles out there.   Charlie

Yes, it had 1/2" stubs and I changed them out to 9/16". My mistake, so I changed them.

Although the manual said 1/2 in lug nuts, which i ordered, they are actually 9/16 on mine.
