Installation Overview
- Remove wheel and brake drum.
- Disconnect brake wiring from existing assembly.
- Remove four backing plate mounting bolts.
- Install new brake assembly and torque properly.
- Reconnect wiring (polarity does not matter for electric magnets).
- Reinstall drum and wheel.
- Adjust brake controller and perform break-in procedure.
Proper brake sizing is critical. Installing a 10" x 1-1/2" assembly on a 10" x 2-1/4" drum will result in improper contact and reduced braking performance.
Replacing both sides of an axle at the same time ensures balanced braking and consistent magnet wear.
This listing includes TWO complete brake assemblies (one axle).
