The electric brake drum assembly that fits the 8-285 hub and integrated drum would be the Dexter Electric Brake Assembly-Left Hand, part # 23-434, for the left side and Dexter Electric Brake Assembly-Right Hand, part # 23-435.

• Will The Brake Assemblies For A 7 Bolt Flange Work With The 4 Bolt Flange?
  For a 9,000 lb axle with 4 bolts, you will want the Dexter Electric Brake Assembly, RH 12-1/4" x 3-3/8", # 23-435 and the matching left side assembly # 23-434. These are the only assemblies for the 4 bolt mounting plate and the 7 bolt plates are not compatible. Unfortunately, the Electric Trailer Brake with Dust Shield - Self-Adjusting - 12-1/4" - Left Hand - 10,000 lbs, # AKEBRK-10L, is an example of the 7 bolt flange that is not compatible with your axle.

• 12-1/4 x 3-3/8 Inch Electric Trailer Brakes for 9K and 10K Trailer Axles
  There are 2 different sets of 12-1/4 x 3-3/8 inch brake assemblies and the difference between them is the mounting patterns they have. Electric brakes # 23-450 and # 23-451 will bolt to either a 5-hole or 7-hole mounting flange and they are for 9K to 10K axles which is what the hub # 9-44-1 is for. Electric brakes # 23-434 and # 23-435 will bolt to a 4-hole flange and they are for 8K axles.

• Replacement Electric Drum Brakes and Hub/Drum Assembly for Dexter Axle

• Can Larger Electric Brake Assemblies be Used on 7K Trailer Axle
  None of the drums offered that are compatible with the wheel bearings used by a 7K axle would work with a 12-1/2 x 3.375 brake assembly, which is usually used on a 8 or 9K axle. I'm assuming your trailer is a tandem axle. Do both axles have brakes? If not, you could add brakes to the second axle which would dramatically increase your braking performance. You would indeed experience more reliable braking action if you went with disc brakes. In order to make a recommendation, I'd need to...

• Video That Shows Trailer Drum Brake Shoes Getting Replaced
  You would not need cut anything to replace the shoes on the drum brakes of your trailer. If you check out the video I attached you can see our installer replacing shoes on a brake assembly and get walked through the process. If you are asking about whether or not the drums need to be turned before installing new assemblies...that will depend on the condition of the hub. If the surface looks smooth and not grooved out at all then no. If so, then you would need to have them turned.
