Will the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - 3,500 lbs Work with Hadco 440 Hubs

Published 11/17/2022

Question:

Good morning-I am upgrading the brakes on a 1970 Lo-liner and need to know if the AKEBRK-35-SA brakes will work with the existing Hadco 440 hubs. They are the old style with the donut inside. Thanks,

I don't have a way to look up Hadco parts unfortunately but I can tell you how to confirm fit of the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-35-SA. The first thing you'll want to do is make sure it fits the axle, if the axle has a four bolt (square center to center) flange then these brakes will fit the axle. In order to confirm it fits the hubs you'll need to measure the inside of the drum surface on the hub, these brakes are designed for a 10" diameter x 2-1/4" wide surface. I have attached some photos below to assist.

If these don't match your hubs then we can offer new ones if you can provide the bearing details which I have attached an article on below.
