Passenger's-side electric brake measures 12" x 2". Brake pads are made of durable friction material for improved braking and longevity. E-coated backing plate resists rust. Fits 14-1/2", 15", 16", and 16-1/2" wheels.

  • Automotive-grade friction material is molded to brake shoes
    • Pads are fully bonded - not riveted - to shoes for long life and more braking torque
    • Less chance of cracking and crumbling that can lead to mechanical lockup, thanks to tapered edge and circular grinding
  • Periodic manual adjustment required
    • Fine-tooth brake adjustment gear allows for a more precise setting
  • E-coated backing plate resists wear and corrosion
  • Adjuster plugs (included) cover access holes to keep dirt and grime out of the assembly and off of the shoes

  • Mounting flange bolt pattern: 5 bolt
  • Wheel size: 14-1/2", 15", 16", and 16-1/2"

Manual-Adjust Brake

With repeated use of this brake assembly, the brake shoes may move out of alignment, causing less efficient braking performance. To keep the brake shoes aligned and the brake assembly performing correctly, you should perform routine maintenance.


This brake assembly should be adjusted after installation and then as needed for the life of the brake. To adjust the brake, use a brake adjustment screw tool (sold separately) to turn the adjustment gear on the inside of the assembly. Continue to turn the gear until the drum surrounding the brake catches on the brake pads enough so that the hub can no longer be turned easily by hand. Then reverse the gear by about 10 clicks. A properly adjusted brake should drag slightly on the brake drum.


Thoroughly Tested for Safety

This brake assembly meets the requirements for certification by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA creates standards, which when complied with ensure a safe and quality product. This brake assembly underwent extensive testing to measure stopping distances when braking. This brake has also been tested by QAI for braking performance in a complete automotive setup and under real-world conditions to provide the most realistic scenario for the everyday driver.


Automotive-Grade Friction Material

Each shoe on this brake assembly is lined with automotive-grade friction material for improved stopping performance and longevity. The friction material is fully bonded onto the surface of the brake shoe. This lining is custom-molded for a perfect fit. The edges are tapered to ensure long-lasting performance. This taper, along with the circular grinding that the lining undergoes, helps to prevent cracking and crumbling. This durability helps to prevent mechanical lockup, which can occur when brake shoes are excessively worn or broken.


The friction material is also SAE-N certified, which means that it is an environmentally safe product that complies with California and Washington regulations regarding the composition of brake pads. As a result, this material not only provides high-performance braking that can endure the test of time, but it is also environmentally friendly and safe for use throughout the United States and Canada.

I see that your order was split for shipping reasons. I am very sorry to hear that this was not ideal for your situation. Our customer service department has sent them out and they should be arriving to you shortly. We would love to hear your feedback about the product once it arrives.



by:

Arrived just when I needed them! Fairly easy to install on our horse trailer and worked without a hassle. Even with 2nd day shipping, was a much cheaper option to local alternatives. Did not take a pic after they were installed, but they arrived looking just like the picture on the site.



by:

Works great and easy to install



by:

Excellent choice. I am very happy with my order. My trailer was done in no time. Brakes I ordered fit perfectly. Now it's done and I am happy and so as everyone on the road. Thanks etrailer.

@Jared Okay, thank you. I will have our customer service team reach out to you about this!


by:

They were exactly what was described, easy installation and hook up. Customer service was excellent as well, one of the backing plates got damaged through shipping. I notified etrailer right away and they had a new one shipped out the same day with no additional cost.

Great service!

Great service and seems to be a quality product.

Excellent---- Web site is easy to navigate & has informative pages.
Prices continue to beat my local trailer sales.
Even though etrailer is on east coast & i'm located in mid west, I get deliveries in 2-3 days.
Parts are packaged well & have always shown up in excellent condition.

Everything is still going well with the parts. Thanks so much

These brakes are excellent. I have had zero issues with them since the day they were installed.

NOTE: On average I haul around 8K lbs and also not often so take my review with a grain of salt. Sometimes the load is heavy (a front end loader) and other times it's not (trash run). Either scenario, no issues. A quick gain adjustment and brake check and I'm gone. I checked the bearing play after a week or so and around the 8 month mark. Both times were A+. I think I'm 17 months into ownership. They're still working flawlessly.

When new, these drums had little OOR (out-of-round) which surprised me. Most drums have some sort of noticeable OOR. These no so much. My trailer stops quietly and effortlessly now. No pulsation, skipping, tugging, etc.

Would I buy these again? ABSOLUTELY!!

I ordered 4 non-self adjusting brake sets and recieved 2 self adjusting right sides and 2 non-self adjusting left sides. I needed the project to be complete and I installed them. When i tok the out of the boxs, there was some rebuilding as things were out of alignment from shipping. Initial adjustments on both sets was a little more time consuming because of the lack of large adjustments, but once set they are great. The electrical hook ups were easy. They stop my 5000+lb camp trailer just fine. Finally, hardware being purchased separately is annoying. They should be packaged together and the hardware should be free with purchase of the brake sets.



by:

Brake assembly was just what I ordered. Quality is good and installed with no problems. Etrailer shipped right away received within a few days. Great product, great service.

Still on my 5th wheel and holding up as expected. Great price on these.



by:

Installed all 4 brakes on 5th wheel trailer with slight adjustments worked great on 400 mile trip through the mountain's. Had to turn down brake controller voltage after the first 200 miles because brakes were working better than manufacturer brakes.



by:

When installing this brake kit be careful with the wires. The left side is prone to pinch the wires due to where they go through the backing plate. I had my son in law helping me. He pinched one and I pinched the other between the axle plate and the back plate. Had to put heat shrink over the damaged insulation. But, the brakes work great.

They are a very good deal for the money!



by:

Simple to install. Exact replacement for my '95 Sundowner Horse Trailer which is 5k lbs empty.
Still plenty of pad left after a year.
Powerful. Now my Truck stops better with the trailer attached!



by:

Brake assembly is a perfect fit and reasonably priced. Provides a good way to change out the brake assembly. It would be good to include a set of wire splice connectors to complete the kit.



by:

These were a perfect replacement on our dump trailer at a much more reasonable price. I didn't see any difference in quality between these and assemblies at double the cost. Next time I need trailer parts I will probably shop around, (that's just what I do) then go to etrailer.com to buy.

SERVICE WAS GREAT



by:

One of four brake assemblies was damaged in shipment. A replacement was shipped immediately after a pleasant conversation with customer service. The replacement came quickly and returning the damaged assembly was as easy as it could be with the provided return label and the box from the replacement unit. I've installed the other three at this point, with no trouble.



by:

We ordered a right hand electric brake assembly on our first order.The next day we called and had to order the left hand also.They both came together,in a very timely manner.Everyone we spoke with was very helpful and respectful.The product was of great quality .We were very pleased!We will definantly order from this company again.We highly recommend .



by:

Brakes came in quick. 3 days I believe. Work great. They were replacements for my 25 ft gooseneck that I haul hay with. Only thing that would make them better is if they came with no butt connectors for the wiring.



by:

Thanks for keeping in touch, your brake assembly is A great. you can not be the price with free shipping, easy to install, we go there a set per year, we put a lot of miles on this one trailer, I would recommend your brakes to any of my friends.
Again Thanks Gene



by:

Very good bang for the buck, makes it not worthwhile to put parts or shoes on an old assembly. After the shoes seated in, i readjusted and they have been great. One note is that it does not include the fasteners to hold the assembly to the axle, so you will either need to reuse yours (mine were rusted to h*ll and back) or plan to make a trip to the hardware store.

  • 5,200 Lb Timbren Axle-Less System With Compatible Hub, Drum and Electric Brakes
    The Warner-style brake assemblies are no longer made and replacement parts are essentially non-existent at this point, so really your best option is going to be replacing your hub and drum as well as brake assemblies. You may also need to weld on a new brake mounting flange, which will be determined by the diameter of your axle. In order to find the correct replacement hubs for your trailer you need to know the weight rating of your axle, and also what bearings your current hub has. You...

  • Is it a Good Idea to Replace Hub/Drum When Replacing Brake Assembly on Trailer
    If there is visible signs of wear then it is a good idea to replace the hub/drum with the brake assemblies. If the armature surface where the brake magnet is damaged, or if the area where the bearings ride is showing wear or is damaged it would be time to replace the hubs. If you had bearings go out in the hub and you continued to drive on them for a while, to the point where the hub is damaged it would be time for the hub to be replaced. To pick out replacement hubs you will need to...

  • Left And Right Brake Assemblies For A 2011 Keystone Alpine 3500RE
    The Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-6L & # AKEBRK-6R are great options for your 2011 Keystone Alpine Fifth Wheel. These brake assemblies will work with 14-1/2", 15", 16", and 16-1/2" diameter wheels, 5,200lbs, 6,000lbs, 7,000lbs axles, and measures 12" diameter, 2" wide. These brakes should work great for your 5th wheel as long as the brake assemblies on your current brakes are 12" in diameter and use a 5 bolt mounting pattern then these will work.

  • Timbren Axle-Less Suspension for 10,000 Pound Mobile Hydraulic Lift
    A tow-behind hydraulic lift is going to need to be stable so I recommend using a tandem axle set up just like you mentioned. That would equate to using 2 sets of Timbren Axle-Less systems rated for 5,200 pounds for a total capacity of 10,400 pounds. We have a couple of options in this capacity: # ASR5200S01 has regular spindles; no rise or drop, and # ASR5200S04 has a 4 inch drop spindle meaning that it will lower the trailer by 4 inches. For a hub and drum assembly that will fit these...

  • Replacement Hubs and Brake Assemblies for Dexter 023-217-00
    What you have is a 10 x 2-1/4 inch brake assembly that's typically found on a 3500 lb capacity axle. We offer the # AKEBRK-35-SA from AxleTek or the # 23-468-469 from Dexter that would provide perfect replacements. I prefer the US manufactured Dexter product. These are self-adjusting brake assemblies. Once installed, you'd want to take them to a large empty parking lot and actuate the brakes at moderate speed about 25 times to get them initially adjusted. From that point on, they'll...

  • Recommended Electric Brake Assemblies and Hub Drums for a 26ft Gooseneck Trailer
    If your brake assemblies mount on a plate using 5 bolts, you most likely would be looking for a 12 inch diameter brake assembly like part # AKEBRK-6R and # AKEBRK-6L, but you could verify this by measuring directly across the center of your drum or the brake assembly. To recommend the correct hub drum for your application, I would need to know your current hub bolt pattern, as well as the bearings it uses. In order to determine your hub drum bolt pattern, you would need to measure center...

  • Merits of Replacing Drum Brakes vs. Rebuilding Drum Brakes
    We do offer all kinds of replacement brake parts for both electric and hydraulic drum brakes, including shoes, springs, actuating levers, etc. But many folks do determine, after reviewing all the parts needed and their total cost, that the time savings of simply replacing the entire brake assembly often makes that option preferable overall. Sometimes it does not even cost much more than replacing just the worn parts. Apart from cost and time to do the servicing there is also the benefit...

  • Electric Brake Assembly Replacements for Rockwell American 4704-L and R Assemblies
    The Rockwell American 4704-L and R brake assemblies that you have are standard 12 inch by 2 inch trailer brake assemblies that we do offer replacements for like with the Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - 12" - Left Hand - 5,200 lbs to 7,000 lbs, # AKEBRK-6L for the left hand side and part # AKEBRK-6R for the right hand side.

  • Torque Spec for Tightening Trailer Brake Assemblies to Trailer Spindle
    The attachment bolts for a 5-bolt brake assembly like the part # AKEBRK-6R should be torqued to 30-50 foot/lbs. If you don't have a torque wrench handy, if you tighten the bolts until the lock washers flatten out, you'll be pretty darn close to that range.

  • Parts Needed to Add Electric Drum Brakes to Trailer with 5-on-5-1/2 Bolt Pattern 15-Inch Wheels
    To find hub/drum assemblies for electric drum brakes that will fit your existing spindles you will need to find the bearing part numbers from the existing hubs. The 5-on-5-1/2-inch bolt pattern hub/drums we offer for 15-inch wheels are shown on the linked page. These are available in weight capacities to match 2000-, 2200- and 3500-lb axles. Be sure to choose hubs rated for your axle; usually there will be a plate or sticker on the axle that tells you its weight rating. For example, if...

I suggest replacing both sides of the axle for correct braking. For that, you would also need the right hand assembly, # AKEBRK-6R.

  • Trailer Brakes Getting Hot and Smoking on a 2006 Dutchmen Sportsman
    It sounds like the brake assembly got stuck and would not revert back after releasing the truck brakes. This could happen if there is a mechanical issue such as debris or corrosion causing the mechanism to bind up, or it could be an electrical issue such as a short that caused the magnet to stay stuck to the armature surface inside the drum. You will want to pull the hub and drum assembly off and inspect the inside of the drum. If the armature surface is gouged or discolored or if the...

  • Why Cant You Use Dexter Brake Assemblies On A Hayes/AL-KO Brake Flange
    Well. the reason you can't replace your old Hayes brake assemblies with the Dexter # 23-105 or the etrailer # AKEBRK-6R is due to differences in the designs of the assemblies backing plates. I recommend sticking with the Hayes/AL-KO brake assemblies # 185100 for the left side, and # 185150 for the right side.

  • Replacement Brake Assemblies For Axle Tek B12E-02 12-GG Right Hand Brake Assembly
    The Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-6R will replace your individual right hand brake assembly. Assembly # AKEBRK-6L would be the matching left side. You can always upgrade to self-adjusting brakes with the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-7-SA. These will give you better braking as they adjust as the shoes wear. The kit includes assemblies for one axle so you will have new brakes on both sides.

Install hardware is available separately as # BRKH12S. When you get the hub/drum pulled off, be sure to inspect the inside armature surface of the drum that the brake magnet rides against. If it's pitted or grooved, you'll want to replace the brake drums as well. For a 6-bolt, use # 42866UC3-EZ or # 8-201-9UC3-EZ for an 8-bolt. The hub/drums...

  • Can I Install Brake Assemblies Upside Down
    We do not have any replacement 12" braking assemblies like part # AKEBRK-6R that have the back plate reversed or upside down. They are designed to have the brake magnet below the axle not above it so I cannot recommend installing them upside down or somehow reversing the backing plate. Axles have a bow in them that is designed to straighten out under weight. If the bow is orientated downwards then it could be negatively affecting the weight capacity of the trailer.

  • Recommendation for Trailer Brakes On a 16 Foot Enclosed Trailer with 2 Axles And 5,000 LB GVW
    If your trailer does not have brakes on the axles at this time then I would recommend putting brakes on at least one axle. Many car haulers and utility style trailers with 7,000 pound gross trailer and load weight ratings have brakes on only one axle. If you plan on using your trailer often and loading it near or to capacity, then brakes on both axles would make stopping with the trailer much easier and safer, and would save wear and tear on your vehicle braking system.
