Electric trailer brakes uneven drag around rotation
I'm replacing the brakes with brand new dexter assemblies, hubs, bearings right now.
I put the new ones on and I'm getting uneven drag on a couple of them. Like I can spin it and it will rotat through 270degrees of rotation then the drag will stop it and I have to turn it through the last 90 degrees by hand. It's not like it's hard to turn, but it's definitely dragging the brakes more significantly during that portion.
I can't envision a scenario where this has anything to do with my spindles or the backing plate. It really has to be the runout of the drums or possible the bearing races - as those are the only moving/rotation components.
Anyway - is this normal or acceptable to some degree? Kind of bummed these are brand new parts and I'm a bit worried.
btw, these are self adjusting and I haven't yet applied or adjusted them - but they are obviously close and dragging some at some point during rotation.
Thanks.
