Brake linings, also known as brake shoes, are pressed against the inside of the brake drums during braking, slowing down the wheel. The brake linings are held in place by springs. Firstly, the tension springs, which sit horizontally between the brake linings. These ensure that the brake linings return to a neutral position after braking. Additionally, there is a retaining spring vertically through the wheel brake, which ensures that the brake lining remains attached to the anchor plate. This brake lining set contains all the wear parts of a wheel brake.

When replacing your trailer brake linings, it is best to look at the numbers on your current brake lining. Once you have found these, you can easily replace your brake linings with the product bearing the same numbers. If you are unsure or can no longer read the numbers, you can look at the brand, dimensions, and mounting holes of the brake linings. Pay close attention to which holes and notches you are currently using with your brake lining and make sure they match the holes and notches in the new product.

Replacing Hub Nut

When working on the trailer's braking system and the hub nut is loosened, it is advisable to also replace the hub nut. The current hub nuts are steel lock nuts, designed for one-time use. If the hub nut is used multiple times, it will not lock correctly, necessitating a new nut. A new nut will also tighten slightly more, due to the locking action it must exert.

It is possible that your Knott brake linings are delivered in a plain box, but these are original Knott brake linings.
