The brake assemblies were in relatively good condition when received except for the actuator wires into the backer plate. The insulation on these were damaged presumably by a tool when inserted the associated strain relief. I repaired this with some RTV. Also, this was my first e-brake job and I was not impressed with Dexter customer support - non-existent.

Exactly what I was looking for. Made in USA and perfect fitment

I've used these before. A few years ago my electric brakes locked up because the emergency switch plug was slightly pulled out. This summer, I had a flat tire and that must have knocked something loose inside the hub. These are the easiest way to get back on the road.

Good solid brake shoes, fit on perfectly, in fact the first problem free repair job I have tackled in months. The camper is as unusual as the photo is of Alabama weather.

I have only put about 3,000 miles on it since then, if it brakes before I but 25,000 miles on it I would be unhappy with it. For this, a year is simply not enough

E-trailer is a great company to deal with. The electric brake assemblies were exactly the same are the original which insured installation was smooth and easy. Support after the sale is unsurpassed. They follow-up after the sale with instructional video clips to insure there are no "hiccups". After installation of the new brakes, I road tested and calibrated the controller (a device that I previously purchased from E-trailer). E-trailer was referred to me by a friend. I will definitely use them again and will not hesitate to refer them to others. Lastly the assemblies are American made and the shipping was free, could not improve on service, product or value. Thanks

Really happy with etrailer.

brakes worked fine last summer, complete assemblies were a better deal than just replacing the shoes. my son in law and myself just combined an order this weekend (save shipping cost) on trailer tow mirrors from etrailer for our vehicles.

I removed and reconditioned the axles on my snowmobile trailer. Salt corrosion damaged the brake assemblies. The replacements assemblies from etrailer.com bolted right on and made short work of the brake repair.

Still working just fine.
by: Mike01/20/2017
I bought a new car trailer with brakes on only 1 axle. etrailer had the exact same brakes for me to put on the second axle. These drum brakes were really easy to install, wire and adjust / re-adjust. I'd really recommend brakes on both axles if like me you're towing close to 7000lb. I've made a couple emergency stops around town, and didn't have the feeling i was being pushed by the trailer at all.
I'd also really recommend getting a high tech brake controller if you're buying one. I had a cheap one that really sucked, i had to constantly readjust brake power every time my speed varied (to stop being pushed by the trailer at speed or jerking to a stop at low speed). Annoying and dangerous IMO.
by: Steve VR08/08/2011
First off, Etrailer is awesome. I ordered two pairs of loaded plates and hubs on Sunday night and they were on my door step by Wednesday!..
Three issues with the plates.
1. On one plate, the two wires from the magnet were about cut in two on the back side of the plate right as they come out of the plastic retainer. Must be getting pinched somehow in shipping.
2. Both left plates had lubriplate grease where the brake pads rub the backing plate and at all pivot points. Neither of the right side ones did, requiring disassembly of the new plates to grease the spots that should have been. (Somebody had a bad day on the assembly line!).
3. Product information led me to believe that new backing plate nuts would be included. They were not, but new lug nuts were included with the wheel bearing kits.
Only thing that I would suggest to Etrailer would be to carry replacement lock tabs for the bearings. Other than that, a couple of hours and brand new brakes & hubs all around. They are working great!
Thanks Etrailer for the great products, prices & shipping!

Having some mechanical skills, replacing my trailer brakes was an easy job. I also did the wheel bearings and races, which was a new job for me, without any complications. The eTrailer parts, tools and videos made this job go smoothly. Buying the brake assemblies on the backing plate is the way to keep the job easily manageable.
by: Matt10/04/2016
So far so good. I have not used the trailer much since I have installed the new parts. It gets used through the fall and winter for hunting.

by: Carlton E.06/28/2012
I received my product in very timely manner but it was damaged and not usualbe due to the wires being crushed and bare wires exposed plus some of the brake componets had dislodged in shippment. etrailer was very quick to remedy the problem by sending another shippment the next day and it arrived in mostly good condition due to some more componets being dislodged again in shipping but I was able to put them back in place and the brake assembly is now in great condition. I also ordered a set of bearing and seals for my application and they arrived in very good condition and now I am ready to reassemble my Travel Trailer and hit the road again. These heavy items (the brake assemblies) do need more vigirous shipping measures to prevent the problems I had with my order. I will gladly use etrailer again and will recomend them to my friends.
by: NormB08/27/2019
Added brakes to my 6X10 Wells Cargo enclosed trailer. They are working great. Easy install. As always, new trailer brakes take some time to wear in before you get full "lock - up" level braking. I'd buy these again. As always, great order and order fulfillment experience with etrailer.
by: Brian09/30/2020
I bought these to add brakes to my utility trailer. erailer customer service was excellent.
They were able to price match a competitors price and the shipping was fast.
The brakes fit well and the install was easy.
Why only 4 stars then? Its a small thing but the brakes came with 4 nuts for the install but did not included the required lock washers. No problem I thought, so off to the local box store to get 7/16 washers. This proved futile, and It took me quite a while to finely locate the correct washers.

- What Hubs Do I Need for the 2,200 lbs Timbren Axle-less Suspension System?I would be happy to help you find a set of hubs for your Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System item # ASR1THDS03. We have two options depending on whether or not you need brakes. For just the hub without brakes you will want the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased item # AKIHUB-545-35-K. If you need electric brakes the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - 10" - Right Hand item # 23-27 and Left Hand item # 23-26 will be a great choice. If...
view full answer... - Replacement 10 Inch 5-on-5 Bolt Pattern Brake Drums for Old Car TrailerI did a Google search on the information you found on your brake drums and wasn't able to find anything conclusive regarding a replacement. We offer one 10 x 2-1/4 inch brake drum with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern, part # 84556UC3 for a standard or # 84556UC3-EZ for an EZ-Lube spindle. If your existing hub uses an #L68149 inner and an # L44649 outer wheel bearing, either of these hubs would be compatible. The hubs include the bearings, races, seal, grease cap, wheel bolts and lug nuts. If you...

You might measure the bolt assembly that the brake assemblies mount to. The # 23-26 and # 23-27 has bolts holes that are 2-7/8 inches apart on center. Since you are going to have to remove your hub and bearings anyway I would recommend you just remove them now to verify the bearing numbers that you would need, the numbers of the bearings will be stamped on the bearings.

You will need electric brake assemblies, # 23-26, sized properly for the trailers gross weight loaded and ready to travel. You will also need trailer hub and drum assemblies, # 84546UC3, sized properly to match the trailer spindles, wheel bolt pattern and the brake assembly selected. If your spindles do not have mounting flanges you will need...

view full answer... - Replacement 3,500 Pound Hubs and Trailer Axle with 94" Hub Length I'm sorry to hear about your recent mishap! I'm not sure which of the two axles and hubs on your trailer are in need of replacement but we have exactly what you need for either! To start, for the axle itself the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # 7359765 will work perfectly. This axle features a 95" hub face length and a 80" spring center length, matching the existing axles on your trailer really well. The extra inch on the hub length won't cause any issues. Then for replacement idler hubs...
view full answer... - Will Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum # 845476UC3-EZ Work with Electric Brakes Yes, the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 845476UC3-EZ referenced in your question is compatible with both electric and hydraulic brake assemblies. This 3,500 pound hub works with 10 inch electric brake assemblies like the Dexter # 23-27 for the Right Hand and # 23-26 for the Left Hand. I have attached a short video demonstration on this hub and drum that you can also check out.
view full answer... - Incorrectly Installed Brake Assemblies on Dual Axle CamperIf one set of brake assemblies is on the wrong side of the axle, it will lead to diminished braking performance and premature brake wear. Is it possible that the axle was removed at one time and reinstalled incorrectly? If you look at the photo I provided, you can see how the components of the brake assembly should be situated. The magnet should be at the bottom of the assembly, and the actuating arm for the brake shoes should be at the front (closest to front of trailer) of the brake...

- Recommended 1,200 Pound Timberen Axle-Less System for Tandem Dump TrailerThe Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System like the # ASR1200S04 will fit any frame width since it is a universal application. The main thing to be concerned about is the tires you are using. You will need to make sure there is enough clearance to use the 25" ATV tires you have. The # ASR1200S04 has a brake flange for brakes and 6" between the frame and the hub face. This would allow for tires up to about 8" wide if you leave 2" of clearance between the frame and the tire.

The Dexter brakes you selected, 10- x 2-1/4-inch Dexter manual-adjust electric drum brakes # 23-26 and # 23-27, are the only width size in a 10-inch diameter. These are intended for a 3500-lb axle. The brake magnet coil, or armature, is intended to contact the brake drum's inside surface at all times. It is normal for the brake magnet to extend outwards away from the trailer a bit and beyond the edge of the brake shoes. This is...

- Spindle, Brake Assembly and Hub/Drum Recommendations for a 5 on 5 and 8 on 6-1/2 Bolt PatternYou will need to use two different spindles/hubs/brake assemblies for each set of wheels. Which would make sense since you plan on swapping to a different axle. Spindles aren't something that are easy to swap in and out so your best option would be two have two totally different axles. For the 5 on 5 setup you would want the spindle part # TRU74FR. For a hub and drum part # 84556UC3, and brake assemblies # 23-27 for right side and # 23-26 for left side. For the 8 on 6-1/2 setup you would...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Add Brakes to Dexter 3,500 lb Trailer AxleThanks for all of the details on your axle as that makes picking out the correct components very easy on me! Since you have a Dexter 3,500 lb axle with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you'd need the hub/drum part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K which matches that perfectly and then the brake assembly set # 23-26 for the left hand side and # 23-27 for the right hand side. To wire up the assemblies you'll want to use 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 which we sell by the foot.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Install Brakes on a Tandem Trailer with Hayes 3,500 lb AxlesYou are correct, the # 84 spindle parts do interchange to 3,500 lb Hayes axles, as long as it is not a boat trailer axle, so you can use the Dexter parts on these axles. The spindle and hub parts for this application are standard parts that are still used in production, so they should be around for a long time to come. Of course keeping a record of the parts you use will help with replacement in the future. You could always return to Hayes parts in the future, the only thing to keep in...
view full answer... - Trailer Brakes Will Not Lock Up Even with Full Battery PowerYou may need to adjust the trailer brakes. Trailer brakes will need an initial adjustment so they are set properly. You need to be able to hear a slight but constant drag of the pads on the drum when the wheel is turned. I have linked a video to the right that should help. Go to about the 4 minute mark to see our installer adjusting the brakes.

If you were looking for individual brake assembly replacements as well we have the part # 23-27 for the right hand side and the part # 23-26 for the left hand side.
view full answer... - Recommended Replacement Trailer Brake Assemblies For 10 x 2-1/4 Inch Brake AssembliesThere are many ways to find out the axle you have on your trailer. The first way is to check the diameter. A 3500 lb axle has a 2-3/8 inch diameter compared to a 1-3/4 inch diameter on a 2000 lb axle or a 3 inch diameter on a 4400, 5200 or 6000 lb axle. Another way to tell is by the bearing size and the seal. Yet another way to narrow it down is by the brake assembly. When you gave the 10 inch assembly, I can narrow it down to a 3500 lb axle or a 4400 lb axle, but you would need to...
view full answer... - Replacement Hub/Drums & Brakes to Replace AL-KO 7230 HubsYou can select your new hubs by matching up your axle weight rating, wheel bolt pattern and the bearings used in your current hubs. Based on my research your hubs are 10 x 2-1/4-inches, are from a 3500-lb axle and have the 5-on-4-1/2 bolt pattern. If they use inner bearing L68149 and outer bearing L44649 then you can use Dexter hub/drum # 84546UC3. If you have other bearings you can use the linked page to select your axle rating, bolt pattern, bearings to find a matching hub. For brakes...

view full answer... - Brake Assembly Kit and Drum RecommendationSo we are sure of fit, let's start with confirming your hub and drums fit your spindles before we look at the brakes. If those don't line up, we can't be sure you need a 10" drum to work with the # 23-26 and # 23-27 brake assemblies. For a 2,500lb axle like yours, we only have idler hubs so we won't have the hubs for you to install brakes but you will need to be sure of sizes before you buy brakes overall. To determine correct replacement hub size, you have to first determine which bearings...

- Replacement Hub/Drums and Brake Assemblies for 3500 lb AxleGiven the probable axle capacity, wheel bolt pattern and L68149 inner bearing, you have a standard 3500 lb axle compatible with L68149 inner and a L44649 outer bearing. For replacement drums and hubs, I'd recommend the etrailer # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K hubs if you have EZ-Lube spindles with the grease zerk on the end of the spindle or # 84546UC3 if you have a standard spindle. Each hub/drum includes the inner and outer bearing, a 58846 double-lip grease seal (also referred to as a 10-19)...
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Add Electric Drum Brakes to Second 3500-lb Axle of Tandem TrailerYou can add electric drum brakes to your trailer's second axle. The second axle will need to have brake flanges in place or you will have to have a qualified welder with the right equipment (specialized jigs) weld them into place. Flanges must be installed perfectly concentric and level. Since your axle capacity is known to be 3500-lbs odds are the brake assembly size for this rating is the 10 x 2-1/4-inch size. The linked page will show you all 10 x 2-1/4-inch electric drum brake assemblies....
