Southwest Wheel 6-Hole, 5.5" Bolt Circle Brake Drum for 5,200 lb Axle

I used two of these on the rear axle of a tandem axle utility trailer that I'm rebuilding. They fit a #42 spindle so make sure you take measurements of the inner and outer bearing area on your spindles. Bearings are OK be sure to pack with grease. My kit only had the smaller size grease seals supplied so I called and they sent another set of grease seals. For my utility trailer project these worked great.

I ordered 4 of these Brake Drum sets for a two axle stock trailer, along with the backing plate brake assemblies. A very complete and concise package. They were at a fair price and arrived promptly.Although they are imported, the machinery and tolerances were precise. They even came with 2 sets of seals, depending on which axle diameter you have. The bearing races and lug bolts were already pressed into place, along with new lug nuts. The bearings fit the axles with exact clearance, the seals and grease cap installed very securely. All of which made for a perfect installation.On another note; the brake lining was pre arced to the drum diameter and calibrated within .020" adjustment (four clicks on each star adjuster to tighten- then 4 clicks back to set a perfect rolling resistance).Although there were parts from my existing system I could have reused, the complete set is the most feasible way to go.Shipping cost from Texas to No California was $85.00, but at over 100 pounds, I wasn't expecting Free shipping. My only concern was the barely sufficient cardboard containers. With 2 drum in each box, they appeared they were 'rolled' rather than carried. However, arrived surprisingly with minimal nicks and dings. Ran a thread chaser on the studs.Perhaps 'single packaging' might improve their endurance.Although I have rebuilt literally hundreds of brake systems, installing these complete sets could easily make an amateur mechanic produce professional results.

parts worked very good.

I ordered a hub for my trailer and in transit some parts were lost. I reached out and got a reply within 10 minutes. They sent me the missing parts that day. Great company to work with.

There were cheaper ones available, but this appeared to have better reviews and quality. arrived in good shape, although the box was beat up badly. Quality looked good and works perfectly.

Good quality, thick casting. Everything fit fine.

Great package, comes with bearings and seals, perfect fit. Make sure you get the right wheel lug pattern and drum for brake size and spindle type.

Easy swap over, much nicer
