Question:

I’m looking for a brake and drum assembly for my 10k axles. And they’re American axles. Is there a kit to do the whole thing?

Hey Jonah, thanks for reaching out. Yes, we do have brakes and drums for 10K axles. The brakes are a standard size, so for those I recommend the following:

- etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes w/ Dust Shields - Self-Adjusting - 12-1/4" - Left/Right - 10K # AKEBRK-10

For the hubs, you will want to confirm some specs before ordering just to be sure the hub will fit you axle. The Dexter Trailer Hub Drum Assembly # 8-430-5UC3 is likely what you will need. This is made for 10K rated axles made after July of 2009. It uses the 387A (2.250" inner diameter) inner and 25580 (1.750" inner diameter) outer bearings. I suggest confirming your axle uses these same bearing sizes. You can pull a hub and remove the bearings. Each one should have a number stamped on the edge, or you can measure the ID of each one with a micrometer. Once we confirm those bearing sizes, you will be good to go.

What kind of trailer do you have?

E trailer has been a heaven sent to us when it came to needing brake parts for our trailers. Called them about an ordering. Person was very knowledgeable about what I needed. They didn’t have a couple answers to my questions. But with in a hr the called back with the answer. We ordered complete brake kits for two axles10k. Shipping was quick. When brakes arrived two were the wrong type. Called E trailer at about 8 pm . They resolved the issue and we had a the correct brakes by 9am the next morning!! While we were doing the brake job. Fantastic service!!!
