Personally, IMHO torsion axels are no more maintenance free than standard axels..as far as your seal surface, that is easily fixed with a speedy sleeve..drum brakes have been and always will be a problem, stainless steel disc brakes work very well with very little problems, I grease the caliper pins once a year and rinse with fresh water after a launch when I get home, my trailer never had brakes, I added them a few years back in preparation for a trip to lake Ontario, I make the drive each spring and sometimes in the fall, those brakes make that drive a whole lot less nerve racking.
