We can help you with replacement drum brakes, hub/drums and related items like bearings and seals for your 5200-lb-rated Lippert axles.

Brakes for your axle are the 12 x 2-inch size. We have both electric and hydraulic drums brakes assemblies for 5200-lb axles shown on the linked page. Just click on the type you need. Be sure to note the brake mounting bolt pattern to ensure it matches your flanges and also be sure to choose either a left/right kit for each axle or individual left- and right-hand brakes since they are specific to one side of the trailer.

For new hub/drum assemblies you will need to pull one of your existing hubs to obtain the inner and out bearing numbers and the grease seal part number. Any new hub must use the exact same bearings in order to fit on your spindles. You also want to ensure that you use a hub for the brake type you have; some hubs can be used for either hydraulic or electric brakes but this is not always the case. You also need to select your wheel bolt pattern so the new hubs will match your wheels.

Our hub/drum kits such as # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K include new bearings, races, seals and even lug nuts.
