To pick out replacement brake pads I'll need to know the brand of the brake assemblies you have to see if we can get you setup with replacements. Or if you'd be willing to replace the assemblies I would just need the size of the assemblies or the axle capacity and we can pick them out much easier. Due to the age of your trailer it will probably be easier to go by assemblies. Often times they assemblies aren't that much more than the shoes/pads too we've found.

You will want to measure the inner diameter of your hub/drums and the depth of the drums to determine what brake assembly dimensions you need. For example the part # AKUBRK-35R is a 10 inch by 2-1/4 inch thick brake assembly for the right hand side of the trailer and the # AKUBRK-35L is the matching left hand side.

For hub/drums I need your wheel bolt pattern and bearing numbers or spindle dimensions.
