im considering an entire brake replacement for our 12 yr old 27 ft tt linings are glazed and 1/2 worn, drum slightly rusty, magnets are questionable brake performance is poor im pretty sure its nev...
You probably can't upgrade to 12" brakes without replacing the entire axles. DO NOT use the Chinese bearings from E-trailer, use Timken. The bearings they sold me with the entire kit of Dexter drums and brakes were junk that failed immediately.
Self adjusting is not something that I want, it is a minor job to adjust brakes and the drums should be pulled regularly to inspect the brakes anyway.
