Replacement Drum or Disc Brake Components for 3,500 lb Trailer Axle  

Published 05/01/2023



Question:

Hi, I have an Escort trailer, roughly 22 years old. The 10 drum brakes are seized and I see you have marine grade drum replacements. To change mine, would I need 1x pair of AKUBRK35-D, 2x drum with hubs 8-247-50UDC, plus BRKH10B. Will these brakes. Do you have a disc brake option, to go in place of the drum set up,? I already have the coupling, brake lines, and

Expert Reply:

If you can verify that you have 3,500 lb trailer axles then yes the parts you mentioned would be correct for you. The brake assemblies # AKUBRK-35-D are correct, the hardware kit part # BRKH10B would attach them to your spindles, and then for a hub/drum you'd need the # 8-247-50UC3 and you'd be set.

Do go to a disc brake setup you would also be needing to replace the actuator/coupler that you have now as it would require a higher PSI rating. The kit you'd want for just the brake components would be the # KOD59FR. For a disc actuator you'd then also need the # DX56FR.
