I restored an old concrete buggy that I purchased surplus from a rental company. It was in pretty bad shape. I got it sand blasted. I painted it with Rustoleum. I installed new brake parts, master cylinder, and wheel bearing kits. Pretty big project but it came out great! Now I have a great little dual-axle dump trailer designed to carry a cubic yard of ready mix. Works great for short loads of concrete and for drain rock and landscape materials too.

I had to use JB Weld to get a good seal on the new plastic master cylinder cylinder-to-brake-hose connection, which was a pain because it leaked and required multiple attempts to fix. Plastic threads on the plastic master cylinder didn't seal with teflon tape. They are easy to over torque/strip! Maybe I did that initially, but JB Weld fixed the problem.

etrailer brake assemblies were easy to install and of very good quality. Fast shipping. Thanks!

This review is for the Hydraulic Brake Kit - Uni-Servo - Free Backing - Dacromet - 10" - Left/Right Hand - 3,500 lbs - AKFBBRK-35-D. This worked perfectly on my 2008 Bear pontoon trailer with Axis branded 3,500 lb tandem axles and hydraulic surge brakes on one axle. It all went together smoothly without issue and after repacking the bearings and bleeding the system, the brakes now work again. A special thanks to Jameson for your time and recommendation on this kit, it was spot on!352521

Nice. Perfect replacemen. For the price ace sends to just replace the whole loaded assembly vs pieces parts.1710010

The quality of the unit seems fine, however they manufacturer is so cheap that they do not include the 8 nuts to hold the brakes to the axle. They expect you to to use the old nuts, in a perfect world that would be fine. Assuming your old bolt bolts and nuts are the same thread! Spent another $12 on nuts which is it a big deal but the hardware store was closed so I had to wait till the next morning. Wont order again.1615624

None of brands of brakes that we carry will come with the nuts or lock washers. We mention this on the product pages for the brakes. Some want to re-use what is on the trailer and some want to replace it. We do carry a replacement set as part # BRKH10B.

The brakes work great. The new assembly had studs for mounting to the trailer and the nuts and washers were not included, so I had to get my own. Your information for ordering should make that clear.1594279

The brake assemblies that we carry do not have hardware included and we mention it on the product pages. In case you want a complete new set of hardware, we offer part # BRKH10B as a quick way to get it.

The brake kits fit perfectly. 1685566

I’m very pleased with the status provided and the delivery speed on my order. These should have my trailer back in operation today.1673896

Extremely happy i found this site. 545454

Thanks for the help Kelsey! 1774327

The boxes containing the brake kit was badly damaged due to transit. One of the springs popped off and the brake shoes were no longer aligned properly. Packaging was extremely poor. Hopefully there is no damage that I couldn’t see.1574683

I am sorry to hear about the boxes and the spring that had to be reinstalled. If there is any more damage then we are happy to take care of it for you. I will have our Customer Service team reach out.

Excellent product that replaced 25 year old brakes on a boat trailer at a fraction of the price that local dealers wanted for them. I found all of the parts I needed by searching the site and everything installed very easily.562004

Nice brake units. 1745460

Liked being able to ask questions before the purchase and being updated on the shipment of my purchase.1715732

The loaded marine grade backing plates made my job super easy. The fit was perfect and went smooth. I would like to see new nuts supplied with the studded backing plate. My order was processed fast and I received it quickly. Packaging was great.500824

I installed these on my 1995 dual axle DHM trailer which carries my '95 closed bow Ski Nautique. The finish is stout and set up very easy. Had a bit of a challenge installing one nut on each side due to close tolerances between the backing plate and axle support but once on, the remaining three when on easily. Recommend doing this over trying to replace just the shoes.1287420

Had to replace the old 20+ year old Attwood brake system. Both the brake assemblies and the coupler are working great.1384421

The product looked great and I got great service. I was unable to use the brakes, though because I needed 5 hole backing plate instead of the 4 hole backing plate. I never got around to seeking a return, my fault.1240664

Still working great

Good product, fit very well and easy to adjust when installed ( lubricated the adjuster anyway) After a year of in and out of the salt water once a week for the season they look very good, a little rust, but not bad. Will see next year how they stand up.923226

Update: brake pad came off and locked up trailer wheel yesterday. Told only 1 year warrantee on workmanship issue. 2 years and now I need new brakes because they failed.

Very, very prompt shipping!
Customer svc rep very knowledgeable about hydraulic trailer brakes.
Packaging ensured product arrived without damage.
TWO NOTES: The brake line threads were not "well cut" on the right side wheel cylinder. To solved needed to "re-tap" the threads-- additional time required--
To make kit 'complete'--add 8 lock nuts to the package--will add about $0.80 to the kit and solve customers frustration of trying to find lock nuts with 5/8" across the flats. 11/16" across the flats will not work as too close to the welded axle on the mounting flange385816
