Do Trailer Hub Seals Get Damaged When Pulling Hub Off to Inspect Brake Assemblies  

Since the trailer was off of the ground it would not take much voltage to stop the wheels from spinning so they may be getting power but they may not be getting enough power due to a short or wiring issue. But 9 times out of 10 weak trailer brakes…

There are some common things you can check to determine what is causing the poor braking performance. First, you do not want the trailer brakes to lock up and skid. You want them to be at a point just under that. The resistance of 12-1/4 inch by…

Hi Rusty; the Dexter #84546UC3-EZ and etrailer #AKHD-5475-35-K will both fit a 3,500 lb axle but they have different bolt patterns. You already ordered the Dexter in the past so I'm assuming your wheels are 5 on 4-1/2. For the same bolt pattern…
