Replacement Brake Assemblies for 1994 Shoreliner Trailer with Hydraulic Drum Brakes

Question

Question:

1994 Shoreliner trailer 10-inch drums and need to replace both wheel cylinders, one of your experts listed a bunch of manufacturers that used this part, and to inquire if mine was not listed. An individual on the chat said I needed a part number from the brake assembly, this one is 30 years old and still has the stickers on the backing plate but there is no manufacturer or part number listed. Will the following part numbers work for this trailer? I believe it is a 3500-5000lb axel. AKBRKR-H7-R-CR and AKBRKR-H7-H7-L-CR Thank you

We can help but we don't have wheel cylinders for the brake assemblies you have. Best solution would be all new assemblies like the part # AKUBRK-35-D which are 10 inch assemblies for a 3,500 lb axle.

If you had a 5k axles the assemblies would be 12 inch.
