Replacement electric drum brakes like part # 23-26 come in several diameters and widths. Choosing the right brakes means matching up those dimensions, as well as the axle's weight rating and the brake mounting bolt pattern.

Trailer brakes are available in a 1-1/2-inch width, but these are 7-inch diameter brakes. The 10-inch-diameter brakes we offer are 2-1/4-inches wide and these typically use a 4-bolt mounting pattern. The linked page displays all electric drum brakes; click on the filters to select axle rating, etc.

New bearings and seals are best identified by finding the original part numbers on those items; you can search directly using those part numbers. If these cannot be found you'll need to use a precision caliper like # PTW80157 to measure the spindles at points B, C and D as shown on the linked image. You can then use the linked pages for bearings and seals to match up those spindle dimensions to new parts.

You may care to use a bearing packer like # ALL647646 along with grease gun # PTW54290 and wheel bearing grease # L11465.
