Manual-Adjust Brake
With repeated use of this brake assembly, the brake shoes may move out of alignment, causing less efficient braking performance. To keep the brake shoes aligned and the brake assembly performing correctly, you should perform routine maintenance.
This brake assembly should be adjusted after installation and then as needed for the life of the brake. To adjust the brake, use a brake adjustment screw tool (sold separately) to turn the adjustment gear on the inside of the assembly. Continue to turn the gear until the drum surrounding the brake catches on the brake pads enough so that the hub can no longer be turned easily by hand. Then reverse the gear by about 10 clicks. A properly adjusted brake should drag slightly on the brake drum.
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.

Have had nothing but problems with these brakes. The retainer clip that holds the electromagnetic metal disk to the lever keeps coming off, which allows the disc to pop off and hang down making a racket in the wheel. I have taken the wheel apart three times to put a retainer clip back in. Gave up and bought some Dexter brakes at a [local] store in Tucson. Wish I had a photo still of the mess that the brakes became.

Outstanding product and installs literally in minutes once you get the old ones off! Very reasonable pricing and speedy delivery.

I am very satisfied with etrailer's service and efficiency. The people I worked with were very knowledgeable and helpful. The electric trailer brakes are working well. I will certainly use etrailer again in the future.
Thank you etrailer.

They work perfectly. They are on a boat trailer. They still work well after being wet. I have had no problems.
by: Henry09/29/2021
The packing was terrible. The brake assemblies were just put in a box with no wraping or packing to keep them apart. The brake shoes have chips in them and some magnet keepers and magnets were off and laying in the box. A nice looking brake assembly all banged up. all four brake assemblies in same box. Not A good way to ship products.

Sorry to hear about this. Customer Service will be contacting you.
by: Gordon05/30/2016
Perfect bolt on fit. The only thing different from the original OEM brake assembly on my RV was the coil retainer clips are a different design, but that doesn't affect the way they work. Only issue was during shipping a couple of those clips popped off the actuator arms, so the coils came loose from the assembly, and the coil springs were in the box loose, easy to reassemble though. Need a way to restrain the coils from bouncing up and down during shipping. So be careful of loose parts, removing packaging when unboxing these. I will be buying new hubs/ drums from eTrailer soon. GREAT Company, GREAT people. Brakes were bought to replace original brakes on a 1998 Jayco Hawk TT Model 24 RK with dual Dexter axles that my wife and I restored.
by: Richard01/02/2018
These were to replace the worn out units on my snowmobile trailer. Initially I was very happy with the product, parts went in quickly and easily. After a year of use I took the drum off (to inspect the bearings) and I was shocked to see how rusted the drum pad levers and separators are! I feel that these are well designed but could use a better coating to prevent rust.
by: Brian04/05/2018
Just ordered a new set(different brand) They made it through the Rocky Mountain and I got them too hot on the other side. One wire got hot and shorted out. (About 3500 miles use) I had them set too tight on my controller. The spring clip is weak and laying in the box at delivery.

I was looking for replacement parts for pop-up camper. I did a lot of looking around and found that etrailer had the best prices by far and very reasonable shipping.
My order was processed immediately and shipped the next day. I appreciated the personal follow-up when my order was delivered asking if everything was in order.
5 Stars all the way around !!
by: Victor R06/15/2019
The only reason I do not give you 5 stars is because your web site. When internet ordering, it should instantly state when a part is out of stock. Even nicer would be expected restocking dates. The parts received were exactly what I ordered for my electric brake conversion from surge brakes at far less expense than reparing the internally rusted surge brake system. There was a plethora of information on your web site to assist me in ordering the correct parts for the conversion. Plus there were videos to see how to complete the conversion and how parts were installed and adjusted. Customer service was excellent.
by: Jean-marie06/19/2018
Recieved my order quickly and all as I had ordered. Four electric brake assembly were delivered and were installed on my 17' camper. Fits like a charm. Now ready for camping with safe brakes and new tires as well.
Thanks for the very good service.
by: Joe04/01/2014
So far everything is great with my order from etrailer. The parts are as described. I have only installed two, out of the four, brakes.
After I placed my order and selected the free shipping, they upgraded it to a 3-day service, which was totally AWESOME. Unfortunately, UPS wasn't able to keep their truck on schedule. What should have been a Friday delivery, got pushed back to Monday.
by: Dan04/26/2019
Perfect fit replacement. Replaced my brakes and hubs on an older pop-up camper. Make sure to buy the new hardware (lock washers and nuts) to make things even easier!
by: Stan05/30/2020
I used these on an old pop up camping trailer. Installation was a pretty straight forward nuts and bolts operation. At first I wasn't sure they were working very well but after some break in and readjusting they seem to be working great.
by: Mark06/08/2017
I put these on my pop up camper as one side had a leaky grease seal and the pads were toast. Couldn't find any pads so replaced both sides. They bolted right up with no problems. Just make sure you buy the right size. Not expensive so a good solution.
by: Zach04/25/2017
Added brakes to my Aliner camping trailer. Brakes work great and were simple to install! Etrailer has the best customer service.
by: Daniel11/03/2019
Okay at best, no nuts to mount. Had to reuse old. Got lucky getting the old ones off or would have been a trip to the store. That's what you get for going the cheap route.

That is great you were able to reuse your existing brake mounting hardware. These brake assemblies do not come with the lock washers and nuts. They are available separately with part # BRKH7S.

I’m a happy customer. Product is as described and ready to install. Good quality product and super fast shipping. Etrailer is a reliable company witch offers good products at fair price. I will shop again with etrailer when needed.

First order was incorrect but they went above to get my order here as fast as they could. Great service will be order again from them!!
by: Chance01/17/2017
The parts came as expected. Fit was excellent. Finish was also better than expected. I was able to reuse the nuts that hold them to the axel. It would have been nice if the description indicated that the studs were metric, as I purchased SAE threaded nuts ahead of time. One other suggestion would be to partially strip the lead wires and leave the cut insulation in place to prevent the ends from fray during and shipping. The value (price compare) was excellent. Would buy again for sure.
by: Dan B08/26/2016
The brakes are just like the original ones.They fit perfect on the mounting brackets .I would order them again

out of the pair, one failed within a month and no more than 1,000 miles. Had to buy a replacement. Would not buy this product again.

- Availability of Brake Assemblies that are 7 inch by 1-1/4 inch in Size7 inch by 1-1/4 inch assemblies are a pretty standard size so we have exactly what you would need. The part # AKEBRK-2L would be what you need for the left side and the part # AKEBRK-2R for the right hand side.
view full answer... - 72 Inch Long Dexter Trailer Axle with 2,200 lb Capacity and Hub/Drums and AssembliesWe have a few different Dexter straight trailer axles. If you check out the link I attached you will see all of the 72 inch Dexter axles we offer. Since you need a setup with hub/drums and brake assemblies you would need to get the part # T20BTR-EZ-7258 which is a 2,200 lb axle without hubs and then go with hubs and assemblies to match it. For hubs you would need the part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K then for a left hand brake assembly part # AKEBRK-2L and for the right side part # AKEBRK-2R. These...
view full answer... - Recommendation For Adding Electric Brakes To Rear Axle With Hydraulic Discs On Front AxleIt sounds like your hydraulic brakes are not working properly as they should work well with or without a load, but if you have a surge coupler that may be the reason why you see more braking with more weight. You can add electric brakes to your other axle if you so desire. This will give you braking with a lighter load and is adjustable on your brake controller for desired functioning as a combined system. For a brake controller, I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195. This...
view full answer... - Availability of Trailer Hub/Drum and Brake Assembly that Fits 10 inch Wheel with 4 Lug PatternThe Dexter hub/drum part # 8-173-16UC3 has a 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern and can fit behind a 10 inch wheel. For a brake assembly you'd then want the part # AKEBRK-2R which is a right hand side assembly. The hub is designed to fit the spindle part # TRU97FR which has a diameter of 1.00 inch.
view full answer... - Replacement Electric Drum Brakes for 1998 Sunline Solaris T-2053 Camper TrailerI could not find original brake specs for your 1998 Sunline Solaris T-2053 camper trailer but we carry electric drum brakes in many sizes so we can help you with new brake assemblies you can bolt on. I was able to confirm the camper is a tandem axle and that is has a dry weight of around 3600-lbs. This means it is likely to have two 2000-lb axles. You'll still want to check the trailer's axle rating, usually found on a sticker or plate on the axle beam or on the trailer's main I.D. plate,...

- Can Electric Drum Brakes Be Used on a Boat TrailerYou ask a very good question. In recent years we've seen more and more boat trailer manufacturers installing electric drum brakes on their trailers as OEM equipment. In the past boat trailers almost always had hydraulic drum or disc brakes as standard equipment since this avoided the natural concerns about combining electricity and water. The main reasons for this shift towards electric drum brakes are their lower cost and easier installation as compared to hydraulics, and that insulating...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Brake Assemblies for 1976 Midas Volunteer Travel TrailerI'm assuming your trailer has standard electric trailer brakes. In order to choose the correct brake assemblies, you'll need to measure the inside diameter and depth of your brake drums, and choose brake assemblies with the proper diameter and thickness. Your drums are likely 7 x 1-3/4, but you'll want to measure to be sure. If you confirm they're 7 x 1-3/4 inches, you'll need the etrailer.com 7 x 1-1/4 inch brake assembly, part # AKEBRK-2R for the right side and # AKEBRK-2L for the left.

- Hub and Drum and Brakes for Trailer With 2,000 lb Axles & Bearings L44649Thanks for that great information we have exactly what you need for your 2,000 lb axles. The number you gave of 1.063 inches in diameter where your bearings ride on the spindle corresponds to Bearing # L44649. Knowing that, we can get you the correct hub and drum, which is the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 2K Axles # AKHD-545-2-2K. These hub and drums work with 7" brake assemblies and for hydraulic brakes the correct assembly is the Dexter Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit # 23-398-399. These...
view full answer... - What Do I Need to Install Electric Brakes on My Boat Trailer with Weight Capacity of 2232With a single axle trailer rated for 2232 lbs. you have either a 3500 lbs. or something closer to a 2000 lbs. axle. Before purchasing anything you need to determine the correct one which you can easily do by checking the bearings once you have the trailer. If your outer and inner bearings are both # L44643 that means you have a 2000 lbs. axle and need 7 inch brakes. Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-2L and # AKEBRK-2R and the Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-2-EZ-1K are what you need. If your...
view full answer... - Replacement Parts for Camper Converted to Utility TrailerYour size 20.5x8-10 tire is the old way of expressing tire sizing. Tire sizing has since been converted to metric and the equivalent tire size to your existing tire is 205/65-10, which really isn't uncommon. The Kenda # AM3H460 would work for your trailer and has a load range E capacity of 1,650 lbs. at 90 psi. There really isn't an advantage going to a 5 lug hub. The maximum load range for your current tire size is E. The next larger sized tire that will give you the option of an E...
view full answer... - How to Adjust Electric Drum Trailer Brakes and What Tool Should be UsedIf the trailer brakes seem weak and they are newly installed then you will need to adjust the brakes to push the shoes out a little further for optimum braking. To see how to manually adjust trailer brake assemblies check out the video I attached, fast-forward to the 4:35 mark of the video. I also recommend brake adjustment tool # W80630 which will make it easier to adjust the brakes than using a flat blade screwdriver.
view full answer... - Complete Electric Brake Installation for 2,000 lb Trailer AxleWith the axle measurement and the bearing number, I can confirm that you have 2,000 lb capacity axles on your trailers. You will want to get the Brake Mounting Flange, # 4-34, to weld onto each side of each axle. With that flange in place, you will want to mount the 7 inch Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-2L on the left side of the axle and the # AKEBRK-2R on the right side of the axle. These are nearly identical parts, but installing on the correct side is very important....
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Add Electric Drum Brakes to Trailers with 2,000 lb Axles with 5 on 4-1/2 WheelsTo add electric drum brakes to your trailers the first thing you will need are brake mounting flanges. There are different ones for different diameter axles. Given the lower capacity of the trailers I am guessing the diameter of the axles is 1-3/4 inches at most. That is the smallest brake flange there is, # 4-34, for 2K axles. Anything smaller or that isn't common will require a flange to be fabricated. A note on welding them on: generally it takes a special jig and someone with experience...

view full answer... - New Wheels and Brakes for 2002 Coleman Westlake Pop-Up CamperThe # AM3S331 ST185/80D-13 wheel/tire combo you specified should work well for you. The brake assemblies you need will depend on the diameter of your brake drum, which is most likely a 7x1-1/4 inch (7 inches inside diameter, 1-1/4 inside depth). If that's the case, you'd use the AxleTek # AKEBRK-2L for the drivers side and # AKEBRK-2R for the passenger side. There isn't a self-adjusting 7 inch diameter brake assembly available. If you have a 10x2-1/4 inch brake drum, you'd use # AKEBRK-35R-SA...

- Recommended 7 Inch Drum Brakes for Boat Trailer Used in Salt WaterSalt water can cause corrosion on the wheels, brakes, hubs, and other components of a trailer. A good idea is to use parts that are made of stainless steel or aluminum whenever possible. When that isn't possible it's also a good practice to spray the trailer off with freshwater after being in saltwater. The 7 inch brakes that fit a 4 by 4 flange that we have are # AKEBRK-2R for the right side and # AKEBRK-2L for the left. These are manual adjusting brakes designed to fit an axle rated...
view full answer... - Brake Flange that Can Fit to Square Axle that is 1.5 inches by 1.5 inchesYou'd have to go with a brake mounting flange designed for a round axle since we don't have any specifically for square axles. Most likely some modifications will need to be made but since only people with experience installing brake flanges should perform this install they'll have a way to make it work. Using a flange with a smaller center hole like the part # 4-34 might be the way to go since it would give you more metal to work with to get it to fit.
view full answer... - Can Trailer Brakes be Added to Dexter Axle # T20BTR-6048Yes, brake flanges could be added to the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with Standard Spindles # T20BTR-6048 with the part # 4-34. Then for hub/drums you'd need the part # AKHD-545-2-1K and for brake assemblies # AKEBRK-2R and # AKEBRK-2L. The flanges need to be professionally welded on since they have to be perfectly square.

That being said you will have to upgrade your wheels to a larger size as the hubs that fit your spindle are 10 inch in diameter and would require you to go with a 14 inch diameter wheel. Since your trailer was already lifted with an Over Under kit you SHOULD have the fender clearance for this. But you would need to verify. For a hub to fit you would want the part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K...

A hub like the part # AKHD-545-2-EZ-2K would fit with these assemblies and with the standard 2,000 lb spindle dimensions. But you would want to verify the bearing numbers of your current hub. They would need to both be L44649.
