I appreciate you trying tp help but those are not big enough for the brakes I have.
Get wider ones. Mine were smaller. It's only a 25k or 30k trailer.
I was able to use the drums, though one was pretty rough. Wanted to get them turned but no one does that anymore apparently.

With the magnet drums, I'd imagine easiest would be find a brake that runs bearing same ID as your spindle, or put a new spindle in.

Id need to flip my trailer and pull the walking beams. No one greased it in many years and there's a good 3" of play.
Tows ok aside from when I turn sharp. The tires rub the deck a bit.

To be clear, mine is 12.25x5.5 air brakes. My trailer must be heavier duty than most of the millers as it's rated for a 42,000 lb payload. I regularly haul two mini ex on it totaling around 21k lbs. I'll try to remember to take a picture of the data tag. 16.5k gawr. It's a 5th wheel trailer, not pintle. I've got an old school truck parts guy trying to find me shoes and or linings. I'll post the part numbers up if I find them.
