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 hardware properly.
- Reconnect wiring (electric brake magnets are not polarity sensitive).
- Reinstall drum and wheel.
- Adjust brake controller and perform proper break-in procedure.
Proper sizing is critical. A 10" x 1-1/2" brake must be used with a matching 10" x 1-1/2" drum. Installing the wrong width assembly will cause improper shoe contact and reduced braking performance.
For best results, replace both sides of the axle at the same time to ensure balanced braking.
