Now this 3/8" diameter nut is designed for use with u-bolts, it'll help secure your trailer's axle to it's leaf springs. Or also to fit 3/8" mounting bolts on your 12" brake assemblies. Now when you do use this on a brake assembly, it will also require a lock washer, which we do sell separately on our website. It's part number 38LW, it's also listed on this product page as a related product. Again the size on this nut is 3/8" by 24 threads per inch.

The overall diameter, or the wrench socket size, is 9/16 diameter. Happen to pull a 9/16 socket, and you can see it's made exactly for that. Now this part is for a quantity of one replacement nut. This nut is also available in a zinc finish if you need, it's part number 38NZ, and again it's sold separately on our website. But that should do it for the review on the replacement 3/8" nut for trailer suspension u-bolts, or 12" brake assemblies..

I'm just nuts over this product. Seriously though thanks fro getting the items to me in a timely manner. I am on Evacuation Advisory for the huge Rim fire that is currently happening in California. I live just a few mile from the perimeter of the blaze. The fifth wheel is all loaded up and ready to go but I was having troubles with the electronic brakes. Now I should have tome to get these new ones in place if and before the word to evacuate comes through! Thanks again!

Replacing the brakes on a 50 year old FAN camper. After being assured that it had 10 inch brakes by another company"s "expert" because it has a 3500# axle, I finally received the correct 12 inch brakes from eTrailer. They arrived very quickly, and packaged well. The installation went almost as easy as the very helpful online video showed. Only difference was I had to slightly tighten the brakes to slide the hub over them, even though they are self-adjusting once in service. I have never owned or worked on a trailer before, and the installation was relatively easy. Thank you to George J for the followup email within 24 hours of delivery.



by:

Nuts and bolts are nuts and bolts but I can report that the self-adjusting brakes have worked well on our two-thousand mile trip this summer through the mountains of Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. They stop straight and true and don't seem to fade on those long down grades like the infamous "Cabbage Hill" near Pendelton Or.



by:

The whole order was perfect. I'm rebuilding the running gear on a1976 3 horse slant then remodeling the whole trailer by converting the trailer into a communications trailer for HF radio for disaster response. Front area will be living quarters. I am in our State Guard as a radio operator and also in county emergency management. This trailer will be my shelter and operating station when deployed to hurricanes and such. Since I'm spending my own funds on this, the good prices on etrailer are greatly appreciated.



by:

US made product, great service from Erika who sorted out my information as to what type of brakes I needed, and fair price. I was very pleased with the follow up emails and the pro service that was provided. Never used Etrailer before, but will be a return customer. Thanks



by:

bought a brake assembly that needed fastening to the axle; these nuts, bolts and washers were just what I needed. Thanks George J.



by:

Carla M. worked with me to make sure we had all the right parts for my boat trailer. I am quite happy with her help.



by:

very good pricing, shipped fast . all items received in good shape 4-nev-r-adjust brake assembles with other needed hardware thanks etrailer.



by:

Ordered lots of parts on Monday, received most of them by Thursday. The received parts were well packaged and undamaged. A few of the parts they didn't have in stock so they had those drop-shipped to me which should be delivered in the next couple of days.
No supplier I have ordered any parts from has such a great technical reference web site or personal customer support. Yea, Rebecca - Well Done! Yes, I'm very happy with the pricing.
Thanks for your great support and I look forward to doing business with them again. More info to follow as soon as I can get the parts installed on my trailer.



by:

My package arrived on time just as I expected. I was a bit disappointed with the packing. Everything came in one box. The nuts were not in any bag they were just loose in the box. I ordered 10 but I only received 7. I think the other 3 fell out the bottom of the box that was not completely sealed with tape. You might want to put small parts in a zip lock bag. I ended up replacing new bolts one one side instead of both.



by:

I have never had a problem with anything I have ordered from Etrailer. I will continue to order from them when needed.



by:

Great service. Etrailer does an excellent job of filling the orders and getting them sent. Shery was really good handling our order. Thanks again.

The parts have worked out very well and have not had any problems. Thanks again for the parts and good service.

  • Brake Flange Mounting Bolt Recommendation for Kodiak Disk Brake Kit K2R526D
    The brake flange mounting bolts are not included with the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R526D that you referenced. If you need bolts you would want the part # 7-5 for the bolt, part # 38LW for the washer and part # 38N for the nut. These aren't stainless, but they will still work fine. If you wanted to go with stainless you would have to source them at a hardware store.

  • 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...

  • Trailer Brake Assembly Recommendation for Dexter Assemblies Marked 023-106 for Both Sides of Axle
    Sounds like you need the brake assemblies part # 23-105 and # 23-106 to provide you with brake assemblies for both sides of your trailer. These are 6k Dexter brake assemblies that are 12 inches in diameter. For a replacement nut the part # 38N typically is what is used. For a lock washer part # 38LW.

  • Replacement Bushings and Brake Assemblies for 6,000 lb Axles with 4-Bolt Brake Flange
    For your brake assemblies with the 4-bolt mounting flange, you will want the Dexter Electric Brake Kit for 4 Bolt or 5 Bolt Flange- 6K # 23-105-106-09. You will need one set for each of your 3 axles. If you need the mounting hardware the Brake Mounting Bolt for 12" Brake Assembly # 7-5 and lockwasher # 38LW along with nut # 38N are what you will need. For your bushings you will want the Two Piece Nylon Bushing - Qty 4 # SP05-080.

  • Replacement Self Adjusting Brake Assemblies for Lippert 7k Axles
    Self adjusting brake assemblies have no downside. They are the preferred brake assembly style as they require no adjustments. The part # AKEBRK-7L-SA is the correct left hand side assembly for your trailer with 7k Lippert axles. For the right hand side you'd then want the part # AKEBRK-7R-SA. For grease seals you then would want the part # RG06-070. For bolts you'd need the part # 38N and for a washer part # 38LW.

  • Will Dexter Brake Assemblies Fit on a Lippert Axle
    You will have no problem using a Dexter brake assembly on a Lippert 7K axle. We have installed several Dexter brake assemblies on Lippert axles at our shop. Lippert and Dexter use the same standard mounting pattern and brake sizes. If you want standard brake assemblies, you could go with the Right Hand brake # 23-181 and the Left Hand brake # 23-180. I recommend stepping up to the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust brakes, # 23-465 and # 23-464. The cost difference is very minimal compared to the standard...

  • Recommended Hubs Drums And Electric Brakes For 2000 Trails West 4 Horse Trailer
    From my research it looks like you have 6,000 lb axles on your trailer. You may want to check to see if there is a plate or sticker that shows the axle weight capacity. If you have a 5-bolt brake mounting flange I recommend the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Assembly, part # 23-459 for the right hand and part # 23-458 for the left hand. These are designed to use with 12 inch hubs and drums. I have attached links to a product review video and an initial setup video for these brakes....

  • USA-Made Dexter 12 x 2-Inch Electric Drum Brakes for 2003 Mobile Suites Trailer with Tandem 7K Axles
    For Made in America 12 x 2-inch electric drum brakes for your 2003 Mobile Suites trailer with tandem 7K axles I recommend the Dexter kit # 23-464-465 for each axle if you want self-adjusting brakes. If you prefer standard manual-adjust brakes instead then use two of kit # 23-180-181. Either way you will want to order two kits to be able to fit new brakes on both axles. For mounting hardware you can use parts # 38LW, # 7-5 and # 38N (five of each per brake) and for a brake adjustment tool...

  • Replacement Electric Brake Assemblies for Denali Trailer with Tandem 5.2K Lippert Axles
    I'm assuming that you're simply replacing the existing brake assemblies and that your trailer has hub/drums that have an inside diameter of 12 inches and a depth of 2 inches. I'm also assuming that your existing brake drums are in good shape, and you're planning on reusing them. If that's the case, I'd recommend the self adjusting electric brake assembly, part # AKEBRK-7R-SA for the right hand side, part # AKEBRK-7L-SA for the left. You'll need two of each. The brake assemblies don't include...

  • Can the etrailer.com Brake Assemblies Replace Hayes AL KO Brakes Assemblies
    We have brake assemblies that will work for you, but unfortunately it will not work to replace your existing Hayes/AL-KO brake assemblies with our self-adjusting brake assemblies. For your Hayes axle, you will want to use the 12 Inch Electric Brake Assembly, Left Hand # 23-105-09 and Right Hand # 23-106-09. These brake assemblies are designed to work as replacement assemblies for Hayes/AL-KO axles so they will work well on your trailer. The reason other assemblies will not work for your...

  • Will Electric Brakes Bolt On 7,000 Pound Torflex Trailer Axles
    The Electric Trailer Brake Assembly, Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-7L-SA that you referenced will bolt directly to the 5-bolt brake mounting flange on your 7,000 pound trailer axle. The # AKEBRK-7L-SA is the brake assembly for the left hand side of the trailer. The brake assembly for the right hand side is # AKEBRK-7R-SA. These brake assemblies fit hubs that measure 12 inches diameter x 2 inches thick and will work well on your 7K torflex axle. I've attached a review video of this brake assembly...

  • Recommended Brake Assemblies and Hubs with Oil Bath For Dexter 8,000 lb Axles

The brake assemblies I recommend to match the hubs are the Electric Trailer Brake with Dust Shield - Self-Adjusting - 12-1/4" - Left Hand - 8,000 lbs # AKEBRK-8L and # AKEBRK-8R for the right hand side. You may want the Brake Adjustment Spoon for Drum Brakes # W80630 for the initial adjustment, but these brakes with self-adjust after that. If...

  • Selecting Correct Replacement 12 x 2 Electric Brake and Drum Assembly for 6000-lb Axle
    The best way to identify the correct replacement components for your trailer is by using the part numbers from your current inner and outer bearings and grease seals (or a spindle measurement where the seal and bearings ride). It is possible to measure the spindles to obtain grease seal dimensions (location B on the photo) but this process requires care and a precision digital caliper like # PTW80157. You will also need to confirm the diameter of your wheel studs. We already know your brakes...

  • What Kind of Steel is Brake Mounting Bolt 7-5 Made From
    This Brake Mounting Bolt for 12 inch Brakes Assembly, part # 7-5, is not made of stainless steel, it is made of regular steel. You might also be interested in purchasing a Nut for Brake Mounting Bolt for 12 inch Brake Assembly, part # 38N, and a Lockwasher for Brake Mounting Bolt for 12 inch Brake Assembly, part # 38LW.

  • Width of Brake Pads on 28 Foot Gooseneck Trailer With Dexter 10K Axles
    To determine which brake assembly you need, measure the width of your brake linings, as shown in the photo I edited for you. If your existing brake shoes measure 4 inches wide, the # 23-438 you mentioned would be an example of a good replacement for you if your existing brake assemblies use 7 mounting bolts (some use 4) and the diameter of the assembly is 12-1/4 inches in diameter when measured from the outside of one brake shoe directly across to the outside of the other shoe as shown...

  • Recommended Brake Assemblies For Dexter Axle 3500 lb And 5200 lb
    I reached out the the manufacturer and found that they have two possible axles that meet that criteria. One is definitely more likely your application than the other, but I will give you both brake assembly options. For a 3500 lb axle, you will want the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # AKEBRK-35-SA. This will give you both the left and right assemblies. There is a sticker to help you with which assembly fits which side....

    With the Timbren axle-less suspension system # ASR35HDS02 you can install 5-bolt electric drum brake assemblies like # 23-112 and # 23-113. These are left- and right-hand brakes with parking brake mechanisms that are rated for a 6K axle system. You can use lock washer # 38LW and nut # 38N to install the brakes. If you need a brake adjustment tool we offer part # W80630.

The mounting hardware, # 38LW, # 38N nut and # 7-5 bolt are also sold separately. You'll need five bolts, nuts and washers per brake assembly.

If you have that type of 4-bolt flange you would likely know it because the pattern is offset, with the upper mounting bolt holes spaced further apart than the lower holes. These brakes are rated for 6,000 lbs and would require Brake Mounting Bolts # 7-5, Nut # 38N and Lock Washer for Brake Mounting...

I would recommend installing new bolts and nuts for easier installation and safety. For mounting bolt, you would need Brake Mounting Bolt, part # 7-5, which is sold as a quantity of 1.

For the left hand I recommend part # 23-458. The mounting hardware for the brake systems is not included. You will need part # 38LW, part # 38N, and part # 7-5. For each brake you will need 5 of each.
