Hub and Drum Assembly for AxleTek/etrailer 7 Inch Electric Trailer Brakes

Question

Question:

Is this brake assembly #AKEBRK-2L compatible with the drum assemblies AKHD-545-2-2K or 8-257-5UC3-EZ? I already purchased it with 8-257-5UC3-EZ and just wanted to make certain that they will fit once it arrives at my home. thanks

Seven inch trailer brake assembly # AKEBRK-2L and the matching right side # AKEBRK-2R will fit hub and drum assembly # AKHD-545-2-2K or 8-257-5UC3-EZ. Since the brakes are AxleTek I recommend sticking with the matching drums # AKHD-545-2-2K.
