Question:
Hi, I am trying to buy breaks and drum for my 2018 kodiak cub 175bh. On the hub it says: Dexter 8-201 12. I can send you photos. I am struggling to find the correct break pad assembly and hub. My trailer is 3450lbs empty. Any help is greatly appreciated. So far this is what ive found: 8-201-5UC3-EZ AKEBRK-6

Hi Jon; the parts you picked out will work as a replacement. The Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-5UC3-EZ is an 8-201 hub with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. The etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-6 are compatible with this hub and drum assembly. However, I recommend getting the # AKEBRK-7-SA instead. These are self-adjusting so you won't have to worry about adjusting your brakes over time. If you need new brake mounting hardware you can use the # BRKH12.
