etrailer Trailer Brakes AKEBRK-8R Review Video

I saw the Q&A you were referring to, which is about a decade old as of this writing and there are no 12" diameter x 3-3/8" wide brake assemblies we offer, just the 12-1/4" diameter x 3-3/8" wide #AKEBRK-8…

Knowing your axle's weight capacity - in your case 8,000 lbs - is the first step towards finding the correct replacement brakes. The brakes you referenced, which are sold together as the Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-8, also have a 4…

Spindle nuts do not get torqued down hard so normally people will use a set of channel locks or a large crescent wrench when installing spindle nuts when installing the part #31-71-3.

There is a specific procedure for replacing the #31-71-3 Nev-R-Lube bearing, and it is permissible to re-use the spindle nut. The procedure follows below, and I'll also email you a .pdf copy. Jack up the trailer and remove the wheel, then…

You'll want to use a gear oil for the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly #8-219-20 that you referenced. 90 weight or 80w-90 would work well.

For an oil bath or "wet" hub and drum assembly on your trailer with 8,000 pound axles, I recommend using the Redline #8-285-10UC3-A. This has an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern and includes lug nuts, inner bearing 25580, outer bearing 02475, races,…

The photo you sent in is of the Brake Dust Shield #BP15-085 which fits both the Left-Hand #23-450 and Right-Hand #23-451 Dexter Axle 12-1/4" electric brake assemblies. If these are installed on your 10K axle and you're needing to make sure…
