  • How to Determine Correct Replacement Hub and Brakes
  • In order to find the correct replacement hubs for your trailer, you need to first know what bearings your current hub has.

  • Recommended Replacement Electric Brake Assemblies for 12x2 Trailer Hub/Drums
  • The # AKEBRK-6L and # AKEBRK-6R are compatible with standard 12x2 brake drums found on 5.2 to 7K trailer axles. The shape of the magnet won't have any bearing on the compatibility of the brake assembly with your current brake drums. These would be a good replacement, but to be honest I'd personally choose self adjusting brake assemblies like # AKEBRK-7-SA. If you don't care to reuse your existing brake assembly mounting hardware, we offer replacement hardware as part # BRKH12 which includes...

  • How to Reduce Chucking When Towing a 2018 Keystone Montana with a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

Although it is impossible to get rid of the feeling of a trailer behind your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 100% the Reese 5th Airborne Premium pin boxes to an excellent job. They...
