Hi, Just discovered a crack in a brake drum on my trailer. Question...can I just buy a drum or do I have to buy the whole assembly? Thanks, John

Hey John! For lower capacity axles the hub and drum are going to come together. If you have a 3,500 lb axle you can use the # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K and for a 5,200-7,000 lb axle the # AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-K. Larger brake drums starting at 9k and up are typically two piece with the drum available as a separate replacement part like # DX64FR.
