Breaking Down the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly Video

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

Brakes can be installed on only one axle of a tandem axle trailer, however you should first check your state laws to see how many brakes are required for the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of your tandem axle trailer. Some states require a…

I went out to the warehouse to look at the tire myself just to be sure. The Kenda Karrier S-Trail ST145/R12 Radial Tire w/ 12" White Spoke Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - LR D #AM31199DX does have a speed rating of M. It was 81 mph to be exact. The…

The Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 7" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 2,000 lbs #AKEBRK-2 only includes the left and right hand brake assemblies. These are designed to fit 7" x 1-1/4" drums. If you need mounting hardware…

To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…

I have another wheel size that will work, but there are not any hub and drum assemblies for your 3500lb axle that will work with 10" wheels. For 3500lb axles you need 10" braking assemblies #AKEBRK-35-SA and 10" hub and drum assemblies…

For wiring trailer brake assemblies we always recommend going with 10 gauge wire like part #10-1-1 which we sell by the foot. Even if the leads on the magnets are a smaller gauge it's best to go heavier for the wiring that goes from the trailer…

Technically yes, if you were replacing idler hubs, as long as the inner/outer bearing, grease seal AND wheel bolt pattern match, there's nothing that prevents you from using a 3,500 lb axle hub, like #84545BX on a 2,000 lb axle. If the bearings…

There are exceptions to some rules, generally speaking 13 inch trailer wheels will not work with 10 inch hub and drums. Your wheels might be manufactured differently than most and there isn't a clearance issue like on most. I would imagine the…

There really isn't a particular maximum trailer weight that is used to determine when brakes need to be added to both axles of a tandem axle setup. While I do still recommend checking your local laws, I am also not aware of any general laws that…

When installing electric brake assemblies on just one axle of a tandem axle trailer, you will essentially want to choose the axle that is going to be seeing more weight. Typically on utility trailers, most of the weight will be in front of the axles…

If the total weight of your pop up camper is 3,300 lbs then you would need a wheel/tire combo that at least has the capacity of 1,650 lbs. The closest tire we have to that capacity in your size is the part #AM10210 which has a 1,610 lbs at 65 psi…
