Question:

I need the drum/brake assembly for all 4 wheels. The inscribing on the outside of the hub reads Axletex, BD-655-00SZ G, 20060311. I would also like to know which hub I need to purchase in the event that the hubs are worn. And finally is there a electric brake line package that I could go ahead an rewire my brakes. The wiring runs in the inside of the axle and I believe the sheathing on the wiring inside the cable is exposed and causing one brake not to work.

Expert Reply:

From that number you supplied, it appears you have axles that are 5,200-lb to 6,000-lb with a 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. For brake assemblies I recommend # AKEBRK-7R-SA for the right hand side and # AKEBRK-7L-SA for the left. This is a self-adjusting 12' brake assembly, mounting bolts and hardware, # BRKH12S sold separately.

If you do decide you need to replace the hub and drum assembly, I recommend, # AKHD-655-6-K. This is an etrailer replacement hub and drum assembly supplied by Axle Tek for 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb Axles with a 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern and comes pre greased.

If needed, I recommend using 12-gauge wire, # 12-1-1, for the jumper wire and for additional ground wire. If you want to use duplex wire, you can use part # 10-2-1.
