Question:

Hi, will these be a direct replacement for my current trailer brakes that are stamped Axletek-10-GG?

Yes, the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-35-SA that you referenced are an exact replacement for the AxleTek assemblies you have now that have Axletek-10-GG stamped on them. If you check out the attached picture you can see the same brand and number on a sticker on the inside of the assembly.

I also attached an install video for these for you to check out as well.

I have a 2022 Grand Design Imagine XLS 21BHE. Today I found that the brake backing plate was spec out for a 3,500 axle but the GD Imagine XLS 21BHE RV that I have has dual 3,000 lbs rated axles. The issue with having this configuation is that hub/spindle hole in the backing plate is much larger then the spindle of a 3,000 lbs rated axle. Leaving opening (slots) next to the bolts that hold the backing plate to the hub/spindle. The major issue with this is that water is getting inside the brake shoe area. No brakes, just a lot of water and rust where the brake shoes are. Just wondering if anyone has run into that with their GD Imagine? Louie
