Question:

I am replacing the brakes on my 1997 Fleetwood Mallard. The inner brake has no bolts of other way to remove it. I believe it is a Axle Beam with Dexter drums. So is there a way to remove the inner brake?

Expert Reply:

Your 1997 Fleetwood Mallard uses standard brake assemblies and hubs. To remove the hub, you will need to remove the spindle nut and then pull the hub/drum assembly off the spindle to access the brake assembly. If the hubs have been on for a long time sometimes using a rubber mallet around the edges of the drum will help get it to move more easily.

If you have 12 inch diameter brake assemblies, then you will want assembly # AKEBRK-7-SA. If you have 10 inch diameter assemblies you will instead want # AKEBRK-35-SA. Based on your description, I assume you have the 12 inch diameter system, but you can simply measure it to ensure fit.
