Expert Reply:

The 10" x 1-1/2" braking assemblies part # K23-472-473-00 will use the same four bolt brake mounting flange as the 10" x 1-3/4" braking assemblies you have but the hub/drum that goes with these uses a LM67048 inner bearing and L44649 outer bearing which I don't believe is correct for your trailer.

The most common replacement for the 10" x 1-3/4" braking assemblies you have are going to be the 10" x 2-1/4" braking assemblies, part # 23-26-27. The correct hub/drum for this is part # AKHD-545-35-K and this uses a L68149 inner bearing and L44649 outer bearing which is what I believe you have.

I must recommend that you replace the hub/drum as well when changing the size of your braking assemblies because the surface area on the old drums may not line up with the new braking assemblies which is why I recommend replacing both at the same time.

Are you saying there is no 10x1 3/4" brake assembly?

The 10" x 1-3/4" brake assemblies did/do exist, but they're not really around too much anymore. We no longer have this size available but if you really wanted to stick with it a local trailer shop or dealer MAY have them or have resources as to where they could be found.
