  • Can You Reuse Hubs When Adding Electric Brakes to a Trailer Axle
  • In order to add electric trailer brakes to a trailer you must first check to see if a brake mounting flange is welded to the axle behind the spindle.

If the axle did not have brakes previously then you'd need both the braking assembly and and a new hub/drum.
