Self-adjusting passenger's-side electric brake measures 12-1/4" x 3-3/8". Brake pads are made of durable friction material for improved braking and longevity. E-coated backing plate resists rust. Dust shield protects from debris.
Features:
- Electric brakes are easier to install and offer more user control than hydraulic brakes
- Requires only an electric brake controller (sold separately) - no actuator or hydraulic lines necessary
- 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
- Self-adjusting brake does not require periodic manual adjustment like standard brakes
- Fine-tooth brake adjustment gear allows for a more precise setting
- Dust shield protects from debris while you're towing
- 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 bolts and hardware sold separately
- QAI and CSA certified

- Configuration: right hand (passenger's side)

- Mounting flange bolt pattern: 4 bolt

- Axle rating: 8,000 lbs

Self-Adjusting Brake Doesn't Require Routine Adjustment
Standard electric brake assemblies require manual adjustment of the brake shoes over time to provide longer-lasting and more efficient braking performance. With self-adjusting brakes, the brake shoes are always properly aligned, so there's no need to manually adjust the brakes after the initial adjustment. As a result, you get optimum performance without having to take the time to continually perform this type of maintenance.
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.

The 8'000 lb. brake assemblies I purchased were exact replacements for the ones on my Lakota LQ horse trailer. Apparently before I purchased the trailer, a "grease monkey" overfilled the hubs with grease and blew out the seals, which coated the brake shoes. Rather than changing just the shoes, I swapped the entire assemblies, a much less messy job for sure! Now I have correctly working new brakes on my new trailer.
etrailer.com is great to deal with and has quick shipping as well
by: Douglas 12/05/2019
To date, I have not actually used the brakes which easily mounted to the rectangular plate (3-5/8" wide x 3-3/8" high o.c. holes) that previously held Dexter hydraulic drum brakes (12-1/4" x 3-38"); but . . . . Wow! Fast delivery (less than 3 days), especially considering it was during Thanksgiving week. I ordered both sides for 2 axles after calling and speaking with Natalie at eTrailer.com, who provided the best customer service I have experienced to date.
by: William B02/23/2020
The brake assemble was the best thing to use when replacing the brake shoes on the trailer rather than replace with individual parts. The price is not that much more and everything is new and simple to replace.

Booth this on 10/7/22 haven’t change them until now that I will be ordering them! Great quality!!!
by: Chuck 11/14/2022
This was exactly what I needed and installation was easy as well.
by: Michael05/18/2018
I ordered 4 new sets of trailer brakes, i couldnt believe how fast they were shipped. I am installing them this week, i hope. They seem like good quality too. Price was great. I was going to order parts to repair my old ones but at their price for complete sets, it just made sense to buy all new brakes !
by: Frank05/31/2016
Excellent product, direct bolt on and very good value. Evaluated other axle and decided to replace the brake assemblies as well.
Thanks Frank

The only complaint is the prices seem a persentage higher than other sources.

Parts showed up on time and in good condition. Parts fit as advertised. Really happy with my purchase and shipping.

The install was easy, only one needed a minor adjustment to fit.
Both on in less than 2 hours. No reason to mark them less than 5 stars.

- Replacement Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies for 8,000 Pound AxlesElectric trailer brake assemblies on 8,000 pound axles are 12-1/4 by 3-3/8 inches such as # AKEBRK-8R for the right side and # AKEBRK-8L for the left. I have linked a video review for you. These brakes will fit on most standard hub-and-drum assemblies, including Dexter, Lippert (LCI), and AL-KO.
view full answer... - Does Installing New Trailer Brake Assemblies Require New Drums At Same TimeWhen installing brake assemblies like the # AKEBRK-8L and # AKEBRK-8R it is not required that you also replace the drums at the same time. As long as they are in good shape still and the thickness is good like you mentioned measuring with your caliper you're totally fine.

These fit a 4-bolt mounting flange such as # 4-50 and would require Mounting Hardware # BRKH122508. If you have 12 inch drums there are options for that, the Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-7L-SA (Left) and # AKEBRK-7R-SA (Right) which are 12 inches in...
view full answer... - Replacement Self Adjusting Brake Assemblies for Lippert 8,000 lb AxlesFor your Lippert 8,000 lb axles we do have a set of self-adjusting brake assemblies that will fit and work well. What you'll want is the part # AKEBRK-8R for the right hand side and the # AKEBRK-8L for the left hand side and you'd be set. Thank you for sending in the axle sticker you have too as that made finding what you need very easy.

view full answer... - Picking Out Brake Assemblies for 2005 Cedar Creek 36RLSI can help you find the right assemblies, but I do not know exactly which ones you have on your trailer. To pick out the correct brake assemblies for your trailer you need to know a few things. You will want to measure the inner diameter of your hub/drums and the depth of the drums to determine what brake assembly dimensions you need. For example the part # 40716 is a 10 inch by 2-1/4 inch thick brake assembly. You also want to determine what the bolt pattern is of your assembly mounting...

Then for a hub that fits this, the 8k axle capacity, and the stud diameter you need of 5/8 inch the part # 8-285-10UC3-A would be what you'd want.

view full answer... - Choosing the Correct Replacement Electric Brakes for 8,000 lb AxleKnowing your axle's weight capacity - in your case 8,000 lbs - is the first step towards finding the correct replacement brakes. The brakes you referenced, which are sold together as the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-8, also have a 4 bolt mounting flange pattern, which you'll also need to have in order for these brakes to work as replacements, as well as wheels that are 15" or larger. I've added links to review videos of the individual brakes for you to take a look at.
