Replacement Hub, Drum and Brake Assemblies for AL KO 3,500 lb Axle

Question:

I have a 2008 Flagstaff camper with two Alko axles. It is in need of new brakes/drums. Ive attached a photo of the plate attached to the front axle. Could you reference me to the proper parts, drums and brakes, including seals and dust caps with the rubber cap? The bearings are ok, so they do not need replaced. I would like the self adjusting brakes. Thank you.

The one piece of info I need from that pic is partially blocked by the bent plate. What is the full capacity number listed? With that I can see what we have that you'd need.

Here are a couple photos... it's hard to tell but the last number in the capacity looks like a 1. So 1591 kg. The bolt arrangement in the drums is a 5 bolt 4 1/2" circle. The drum has a couple numbers. They are on the other photos attached.

Looks like you have AL KO 3,500 lb axles which is very common.

The etrailer.com # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K Trailer Hub and Drum Assemblies will fit your spindle and then for brake assemblies you'd want the # 23-468-469.

Awesome. One more question since I looked these products up. Would it be acceptable to use part # AKEBRK-35-SA for the brakes, or do I need to stay with the dexter version. Looks like there might be a couple advantages $, thicker pads. Just curious, thanks for your help.

The brake assembly kit part # AKEBRK-35-SA will also work great. We've sold a ton of these assemblies and they are just as good as the Dexters and are priced much better.
