Black-painted drum brake assembly lets you reverse without actuating. Designed for use with hydraulic brake actuators that do not include reverse lockouts. Fits most 13", 14" and 15" wheels.
Features:
Specs:
The unique free-backing design, patented by DICO, lets your trailer move in reverse without actuating the brakes. When you begin backing up, the brake shoes are firm against the drum, as in a braking situation. As you continue in reverse, however, the shoes turn with the drum until the lining pressure is released and you are able to back up freely.
These brakes are designed to eliminate friction between the shoes and drum when you are driving in reverse. A trailer breakaway kit will not be effective should your trailer disconnect from your tow vehicle when backing up.

My backing plate, brakes and wheel cylinder arrived promptly. It was easy to install and solved the problem I had with that wheel locking up after braking.
I have been trailing my boat without problems since.
Thank you Etrailer
After purchasing a used boat I decided to take a look at the brake system on the trailer. To my surprise it was in horrible condition. Both side were so rusted up they wouldn't even move when the brakes were applied. I went shopping online to see what I could find. I came across etrailer.com and was extremely happy i did. The price was lower than anywhere else and free shipping . Brakes arrived in 3 days ! Took me a entire 10 minutes to put one side on. Fit was perfect. I do suggest purchasing new hardware...will definitely make the install smoother.
I really didn't know what I was doing, but watched a few internet videos and decided to tear into my grinding trailer wheels. The pads were past expired , down to metal. The whole 23 year old assembly looked rusted and in poor repair. I started out shopping for parts, like new brake shoes, and found these complete assemblies for only a few dollars more on eTrailer. The excellent documentation, photos, and discussion sold me. I just finished installing the left (drivers side ) unit, and everything went together great. Thanks again!
I ordered a pair of these to replace a set of regular surge brakes, Installation was super simple and fast, 1 hour start to finish. Looks like they will hold up nicely. No need to buy new brake shoes, just install these! I would recommend these to anyone

Just returned from a vacation with the boat and the trailer brakes performed great! The trip was over 2,060 miles. Thanks for great products and services.
Thanks again etrailer for you great customer service. I received these the day prior to taking my boat for a weekend camping trip. One of my servos began leaking earlier in the year and I delayed ordering these complete brake plates till the last minute. I needed to install the one prior to taking the trailer out so I jacked up the trailer and started in. Using an electric 1/2" impact wrench (one of my favorite effort-saving tools) made removal of the four bolts a breeze. I had to stop by the auto store to buy a 3/8" flare tool to make removal of the brake line possible prior to starting. Reconnecting the brake line took the most time since the new servo had a slightly different angle to the connection. Once I got the thread started on that it took only a few minutes to bolt on the plate, clean and reinstall the the drum and bolt on the wheel. It was safe traveling over the weekend . These complete backplates are sweet, so glad I opted to get them.
order was processed quickly and was exactly what I needed to finish the brake job on boat trailer!

working great
it was what it said it was and shipping was fast like bunny.. and the price wasnt bad either. the info that this web site that helps you get the right part is the best part. it explained how to know which lugnut pattern and measure ments to go by.. all true story.. im am not a paid spokesmen... ?
5000 miles on my equipment trailer. Brakes work as advertised. No problems, etrailer shipping prompt and complete.
The product was fine, but my choice to repair a used tow dolly was poor. My tow dolly's frame broke in two in the middle of the Nevada desert in the middle of a 6300 mile RV trip.
These were a perfect replacement for the rusted out brakes that were on my boat trailer.
Awesome the way the brake assemblies were assembled and the drums had the races installed and still at a great price. Everything fit with out issue.
Fast delivery, good product at a reasonable price. Just completed the complete overhaul of my boat trailer brake system with no problems!
Everything works well. I will definitely order form etrailer again when I need stuff.
The brakes work good I haven't used the trailer like I thought that I wood
Good price, direct replacement fit, prompt delivery. What more could a person ask for?
Great product really fixes the the surge brake backing issue
Great product-Simple installation-Great Service

Good item should work well in the application I am building.
Fast shipping!

Worked out great, easy to install !
It is still too early to say whether this product exceeds the quality of the same product for the other brands, but at least I can tell it's not worse, because it is still working fine after one year of use. In general, I'm satisfied at this point and would recommend to other customers.
This product arrived quickly, was easy to install, and has worked as advertised. I would definitely buy this product again.
Installed the brakes this weekend and it was easier than changing the components separately. Price is what drove me to this purchase and follow up emails from George J was great. Overall excellent purchase and service. Thank you guys again.

Just got back from a weekend pulling the boat.Your parts are still great, though i may be ordering some other parts: so it goes with a 25 year old trailer As to review, I would totally recommend your kits to anyone willing to do their own rebuild.
