Question:

I need to replace my brakes on my camper. The drum shows al-ko 8490 10.090 max on it. Do you have complete backing plates for this size?

Expert Reply:

Based on our previous findings your hub is for a 3,500lb axle and is designed for 10" brakes. We have either the Manual Adjusting # AKEBRK-35 or Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-35-SA depending on your preference.

If you are needing new drums you will want to verify the current bearings and seals used on your hubs. If they are the most common L68149 inner and L44649 outer with a 1.719" ID grease seal the Drum/Hub Assembly # AKHD-545-35-K is the one you will need. If you have anything different please let me know so I can help you find the correct parts.
