When it comes to towing a trailer, safety should always be at the forefront of your mind. One of the most important components of a safe towing setup is the external type brake axle. A external type brake axle is a type of trailer axle that uses hydraulic brakes to slow down and stop the trailer. These brakes work by using a system of drums, cylinders, and brake shoes that apply pressure to the drums to slow the wheels of the trailer. External type brake axles are incredibly important for safe towing because they provide reliable, consistent braking power. Unlike other types of trailer brakes, such as electric brakes or surge brakes, hydraulic drum brakes are not affected by power loss or a loss of control. This means that even if your tow vehicle’ s brakes fail, your trailer will still be able to stop safely.
Another advantage of external type brake axles is their durability. These brakes are designed to withstand the rigors of towing, and they can last for many years with proper maintenance. Additionally, hydraulic drum brakes are relatively easy to maintain, making them a great choice for those who want to ensure their trailer is always in top condition. Hydraulic drum brakes work by using a system of drums, cylinders, and brake shoes. The brake shoes press against the drums when the brakes are applied, slowing the wheels of the trailer. The brake shoes are powered by the hydraulic cylinders, which are filled with brake fluid. When the brake pedal is pressed, the brake fluid is forced into the cylinders, causing the brake shoes to press against the drums. When it comes to maintaining your hydraulic drum brakes, it’ s important to check the brake fluid level regularly and to have the brakes serviced every two years or so. Additionally, it’ s important to check the brake shoes and drums for wear and tear and to replace them if they show signs of wear.
Check that the external type brake axle does not rust
Regular care of the external type brake axle to prevent it from rusting is one of the most important tips, as this part must be free of scratches and cracks on the friction side of the drum in order for the vehicle to brake. You don’ t know how to keep external type brake axles from rusting? Here are very useful methods that will help you to properly clean the rust of the drum brake. If it is necessary to replace the external type brake axle, this component must be replaced on both sides of the axle to avoid irregular functioning of the braking system.
Choosing a complete rear kit
If we are going to replace the components of the drum brake of our car, it is essential to always choose a quality rear kit that has all the necessary components for its correct repair.
Maintain a prudent speed
If we drive incorrectly, we press the brake pedal carelessly, this will have a negative effect on the wear of our vehicle's drum brakes. In this regard, if you notice a vibration, shaking or noise when braking, you should go to the technical service or a workshop specialising in brake system repairs.
Check brake fluid
As mentioned above, it is also important to monitor the brake fluid in your vehicle. It is therefore advisable to replace it every two years and always use a fluid recommended by the manufacturer.
Go to a reliable workshop
Finally, in the event that some of the aforementioned tips occur in the drum brake of our vehicle, it is necessary to visit a trusted workshop to check the condition of our braking system, as this is a fundamental component that guarantees our safety when driving. When the time comes to carry out maintenance or changing the drum brakes of our car, which provide maximum quality and safety in each of their parts.
Requirements for External Type Brake Axle
There is no legal requirement for external type external type external type brake axle axles on trailers with a gross trailer mass (gtm) not exceeding 750kg. The towing capacity of the vehicle being used to pull a trailer should be considered when decisions whether to fit external type external type brake axles to a trailer are being made. Trailers must be fitted with a service external type external type brake axle on at least one axle. Indirect (override) or direct (cab-controlled) type external type external type brake axles can be fitted (credo wireless external type external type brake axle controller). The tow coupling must have a rating at least commensurate with the laden trailer and have either. The vehicle/trailer combination must be capable of stopping within 7 m from 30 km/h. Trailers over 2000kg must be fitted with credo direct (cab-controlled) service external type external type brake axles, a breakaway external type external type brake axle system and an independent parking external type external type brake axle on at least one axle (capable of holding the vehicle at rest on a slope of 1 in 5). The vehicle/trailer combination must be capable of stopping within 7 m from 30 km/h. This will usually mean that 2 axles will need to be external type external type brake axled.
Indirect service external type external type brake axles are those that operate without input directly from the driver of the tow vehicle. They are usually inertia-activated systems and this is the most commonly used system under 2000 kg. Systems that comply with adr up to 4500kg (hygo mkii) are an indirect system also. Direct service external type external type brake axles are those that operate as a direct result of braking input from the driver of the tow vehicle. They are load-adjustable and incorporate an emergency override function which operates the external type external type external type brake axle axles independently of the tow vehicle from the driver’ s seat. See our credo wireless external type external type brake axle controller for a direct braking system with no in-cab wiring
Override external type external type brake axles are indirect systems, inertia-activated and operated by the weight of the towed trailer. A coil spring in the tow coupling is compressed, applying the external type external type brake axles proportionate to the degree of spring compression. Available as mechanical disc, hydraulic disc and hydraulic drum type external type external type brake axles. Used with electric drum external type external type brake axles. A trailer-mounted external type external type brake axle controller is preset to match the load carried on the trailer. Braking is triggered by the vehicle’ s external type external type brake axle lights being activated, and delivered proportionate to the load setting registered on the controller. Used with electric drum external type external type brake axles, this is the most economical to fit of all the direct braking systems. They are regulated by in-cab external type external type brake axle controllers with an emergency external type external type brake axle override function and adjustable load settings to accurately match braking output with the weight of the load carried.

Steps to Replace Your External Type Brake Axle
Ensure safety and prep your car
External type brake axle replacement can release hazardous materials into the air, especially if it is an old vehicle. You must wear a mask and work in a ventilated area while ensuring that no one else approaches the vehicle during the replacement. Using stands and a jack to raise and support the vehicle. Disengaging the parking brake to remove the external type brake axle
Remove and inspect the external type brake axle
You should remove the wheel and the external type brake axle to get the brake shoes. Some external type brake axles on front-wheel-drive cars have a hub with traditional cone bearings in it. These hubs need to be removed altogether, including the spindle nut, also known as an axle nut, which is used to attach a wheel to an axle. Start by removing any drum retaining screws or clips and slide off the drum. Next, remove the rubber access port on the backing plate and turn the star wheel on the drum adjuster. External type brake axles are usually removed by moving them back and forth while pulling them away from the hub. You may need to apply a penetrant, use a hammer, or cut off the drum if it gets stuck on the axle hub.
Clean and inspect the brakes
Once the external type brake axle is removed, you may see the inner workings of the external type brake axle assembly such as the shoes, springs, and wheel cylinder. Before proceeding to disassemble the parts, spray the brake cleaner thoroughly on the entire assembly. Now it’s time to measure and inspect the brake components such as brake shoes, and external type brake axles. Use a digital micrometer set to read in inches for inspecting the brake shoes. If the thickness of the brake shoes is less than 1/16th of an inch, the brake shoes should be replaced. Next, go for the external type brake axles for any scoring, cracking, or grooving. Also, inspect the wheel cylinders for any leaks of brake fluid. If so, then the wheel cylinders need to be replaced.
Disassemble the external type brake axle and remove the brake shoes
Using a needle nose plier pull the shoe-retaining springs to remove the brake shoes. Some vehicles use multiple sets of springs to tension the brake shoes. In that case, remove the topmost spring, which will loosen the overall tension and make the other springs easier to remove. Also, some brake shoes are tensioned with pins and washers in the place of springs, which can also be pulled using a needle nose plier. After the springs, washers and pins are pulled out, remove the brake shoes.
Remove the parking brake cable retainer clip
Using a flathead screwdriver or pliers, remove the parking brake cable retainer clip. Clean and re-install the brake shoes and components. Clean the backing plate with brake cleaner. Slide the pin through the new shoe and reinstall the parking brake retaining clip. Now, install the adjusting screw assembly and screw spring. Re-install the new brake shoes onto the hub, and secure them with new pins and washers. Reinstall the tensioning springs to secure the brake shoe.
Install the new external type brake axle
Prepare the new external type brake axle as an initial step while installing the new external type brake axle. This includes cleaning the drums using a cleaning spray as some drums have thin oil-coated onto them. Once the drum is clean, slip it over the brake shoes and install it onto the hub. In case you aren't able to slide the drum, try adjusting the brake shoes and then fit the drum again. You can adjust the brake shoes by turning the adjuster, or by using an adjuster tool. Adjust one increment at a time until the drum slides over the brake shoes and onto the hub properly without excessive resistance. By now, the external type brake axle must be fully reassembled. Make sure the external type brake axle is properly fitted as it may cause problems if not attached properly.
Install the wheel and tire
Now it's time to install the wheel and tire. Now spin the wheel and adjust it through the backing plate until the brake shoes connect with the external type brake axle. Tighten the wheel and tire back in place using lug nuts.
