How to Add Trailer Brakes to a Stealth Liberty 6 by 10 Trailer

Question:

Can I install these on a 2011 Stealth Liberty 6x10foot trailer? I do have a 4 hole flange on both sides but it appears inward from the existing hubs. Thanks.

The 10" Self Adjust Electric Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-35L-SA that you referenced is designed to fit a 4 bolt mounting flange that is inward of the hubs so in that regard it would fit.

You do need to verify that your trailer has 10 x 2-1/4 inch brake assemblies currently or would need to upgrade your idler hubs to brake hubs first.

If you have brakes currently you will need to remove the hub/drum from the spindle and measure the inside dimensions of the hub. Check out the picture I attached.

If you are looking to add brakes to a trailer that didn't have them previously you will want to follow the link to the FAQ article to the right that covers everything needed to add electric brakes to a trailer.
