Quick Tip: There's really not a whole lot to getting new drum brakes. If you've confirmed that all of the specs listed above line up with what you need for your trailer, you can be pretty sure these will work for you.
The pads on these trailer brakes are made of the same friction material that you might find on a car's drum brakes. In fact, the material is SAE-N certified. So, not only does it provide high-performance braking, but it's environmentally friendly, too! With these brakes, your trailer will be good to go on any road throughout the United States and Canada.
The superior quality of these pads is also due to the fact that they're bonded to the shoes, not just nailed down. Riveted brake pads will always give you a screeching reminder to replace your brake shoes. That's because the rivets will scrape against your drum as the friction material wears down. You won't have that noisy problem with bonded brake pads. You'll also get a little more friction pad contact because there aren't any cutouts for rivets. And more friction means more stopping power.
These pads are also tapered, which should help to prevent any broken, crumbly bits of material from rotating inside the drum as the pads wear over time. Brakes without these tapers are more likely to create a jarring braking experience that could cause the brakes to stutter and lock up.
With typical electric brake assemblies, you need to manually adjust them every now and then to make sure you're getting the shortest stopping distances every time you tow.
With self-adjusting brakes, though, you'll always have peak stopping power - simple as that! As the brake pads wear over time, a tensioning cable will automatically keep the pads in alignment so they'll consistently make contact with your drum when you brake. You won't have to do tedious manual adjustments anymore.
A lot of resources have been invested to ensure that these brakes meet the requirements for certification set by the QAI and CSA . Basically, these certifications tell you that these trailer brakes are well built and safe for use on the road. They've been tested for braking performance under real-world conditions to provide the most realistic scenario for the everyday tower.
Once you get these brakes installed, you'll need to break them in. First, find a long stretch of road or a big, empty parking lot. Once you're there, set your brake controller to its maximum setting and get moving. Speed up to about 40 mph and brake to slow to about 20 mph. Repeat this 15-30 times. The goal is to get the brake shoes and magnet properly seated into your drum. You'll know you've done that when it feels less jerky (and more consistent) each time you apply the brakes.
Note: The brakes will be very hot after doing this, so after every 10 stops you'll want to wait about 10 minutes to let the brakes cool off before continuing. If you don't, you might cook and crack the pad material.

The automotive-grade pads on these automatically adjusting brakes offer lasting effectiveness. 12-1/4" x 5" Assemblies have rust-resistant, e-coated backing plates and dust shields to protect from debris. Fits 15" or larger.Company was great to deal with and had quick shipping. Installation went smoothly and they work great!
My order came very quick just with standard shipping witch was great. Down side was it was packaged very poorly. The box wasn't heavy enough for everything inside itso was coming apart when it was dropped off. There was very little packing inside so parts were bouncing around and into each other. Two of the 4 brakes had come apart so I had to reassemble them. Luckily no parts were missing. Took me 45 minutes to reassemble them. It all needed better box and sent in multiple packages.
These brake assemblies where exactly what I was looking for. Because these are an odd size, my local supplier did not have them in stock and would have taken a week to get them and the price would have been double what I paid on etrailer
Thanks again Julie N. for you help processing my order. I got them in 3 days.
Great product, fast shipping
My box was open and I had to put together 1 out of the 4 assemblies before I could put it on my trailer not impressed with the shipping box and when you spend $xxx on parts you would think it would be better packaged in a box
I did a R&R. These brakes fit and work just like the original ones. Thanks etrailer.
Fits a large eeger beaver wood chipper that the dealer wanted over 900 dollars for the same thing. Etrailer always has what I need and is priced good, ships easily, and most times has it in stock.
Great package I put all four on had to break them in and they work great.
Fast free shipping great price and great product thank for a fare deal and great product
Brakes worked well for the first ten months are so. The only complaint I have with this system are the magnets. Within the last month are so I’ve have to replace two of the magnets due to the wires on them breaking. I just think for the price of this system there should be better wires used.
my think is wow ! because shipping arrived quick than I expect. The brake system is fit perfect and easy install if you have hand skill then you good.
I have 12k dexter axles and needed entire brake assemblies. Bought the etrailer brand, perfect fit! This is my new website for all my trailer needs!!
