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 position by springs. First, there are 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 includes 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 them, you can easily replace your brake lining with the product bearing the same numbers. If you are unsure or unable to 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 on your brake lining and ensure that they match those on the new product.

Replacing Hub Nut

When working on the trailer's braking system and the hub nut is removed, it is advisable to also replace the hub nut. The current hub nuts are steel locking nuts, designed for one-time use. Using the hub nut multiple times can result in improper locking, necessitating a new nut. A new nut will also tighten slightly more, due to the locking required from the nut.
