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.

Awesome. Converted the hydraulic brakes to electric on a vintage trailer. These made any apprehension I had go away. They are doing perfectly to this day

Rating poor only due to bad packaging at etrailer. Parts loose and missing in box. Not package good.
by: randy watford10/11/2016
thank u etrailer for sending me 2 extra nuts & 2 extra mounting studs. the best way to remove a bad stud is to drill it out. As u know im the one who had a mounting nut go on & turn both directions after it was put on. i could not back the nut off to replace the stud. i took a drill bit a little smaller than the stud & drilled the head of the mounting stud off. i drilled pased the 4 hole plate, knocked the nut off the back side, & taped the remainder of the stud out of the hole. No damage was done to the plate. Taking a grinder to it would have been a bad deal. The only thing i wished was in my hardware would have been a simple drawing of which the right & left sides of the trailer were. i had to go back & spend most of the day & swap both sides of the trailer after i done a complete job of putting on the brake assemblies. I did averything i thought to do to get it right the first time. I got it wrong! A simple way would be just to remind everyone that the longer brake pad goes to the rear of the trailer. I now have everything back together & everything works fine. What a nightmare, but now im in good shape. I would like to have better tires thou. Stronger & taller tires. I have looked at the contender st225/75r15 with the white rims. Soon i hope to chat with you on these tires. Again thanks for sending me the extra hardware. I will most diffinitly pass your website out to ones that i know. randy , fully custom built rv out of a v noise 16 foot cargo trailer, spent one year to build....

This is the second trailer that I’ve installed these 3.5k brakes on. These are a direct bolt on for Dexter spring and torsion axles. The brakes assemblies are manufactured in China, but they’re built very well, easy to install and adjust..
They work perfectly!
An exceptional value for the price.
And as always etrailer shipped the same day that I ordered and packaged everything very well.
Great customer service !!

Got my breaks in for my camper, easy online ordering and easy tracking the package online, I would suggest adding new hardware to all new parts, I will start ordering all my parts here.
by: Thomas 12/30/2023
Part arrived when promised. Matched original perfectly. Only drawback was that there weren't nuts to connect the unit to the axle.
by: Charles 06/02/2023
I was unsure exactly what parts I needed so I called E-trailer and spoke to the nicest gentlemen (Will). He asked a few questions to ensure I was getting the right parts and placed my order promptly. He also gave me his extension # in case I had problems or questions about my order. The parts arrived a day earlier than expected, and Will sent me emails with updates until the parts arrived and then followed up to make sure everything was correct after delivery. I would definitely recommend E-trailer, and look forward to using them for future needs. It was a great experience, start to finish. They also had the best pricing.

The brake assembly came to me in 3 days as promised and it's exactly what I needed to get my trailer back on the road fast fast fast and the price was right !
Thanks etrailer.com !

Good products at great prices. Got a used trailer and rebuilt it for $1800 which includes the cost of the trailer.

All the parts are working great!!! I did a conversion from hydraulic to electric on my boat trailer. The trailer tows much easier and I no longer worry about being able to stop. I had a critical stop just yesterday and the trailer brakes actually locked up in my mind, a good thing

I ordered these short notice and received them complete to my house in two days! They are working perfectly and fit exactly as they should. Highly recommend them and the price can't be beat , I replaced all four on my camper for the price of one at the dealer!

These brake assemblies shipped very fast (free shipping), they were packaged/protected very well, and they seem to be very high quality. Very good price and helpful sales people. No regrets, would definitely purchase again.

Product arrived in a speedy manner. Only problem with the order was the brake shoes were out of alignment and I had to reposition them (most likely due to shipping). Have use eTrailer before and will use them again and I do recommend them.

The brakes were an exact replacement for my need and are working as good as the original parts.
by: GIGI10/07/2018
The product was delivered fast but came with no instructions as to which wire goes where. both wires are green and under the trailer they are black and white so the brakes don't work, I'm guessing the wires are connected wrong.
Mike L.
10/8/2018
The green wires that exit the magnet on the brake assembly do not have polarity, so it does not matter which wire connects to the brake circuit and which grounds to the trailer. Either way, it should work. If the assembly is not working, I would recommend using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the brake circuit to make sure the power is reaching the magnet.
by: Paul04/13/2017
Replaced drums and brakes on both axles--3.5 K Dexter EZ lubes. These are on a travel trailer, so the EZ lube axle feature is not as relevant as it would be for axles subject to submersion. When the originals were pulled, I discovered that grease had by-passed one of the seals. The escaping grease did not get to the shoes and drum friction surfaces; but there was plenty of stray grease in the brake mechanism. I hand pack the bearings every couple of years and only put one pump of grease in at the zerks before the alternate pulling season.

product worked great!!!

Best price I could find and I was completely thrilled it came pre-assembled.
by: DKinPA04/02/2017
I needed to retrofit my two axle trailer to get it state inspected. I bought everything I needed from etrailer. I love one stop shopping! I was very pleased with the delivery time and the high quality of parts I bought. The brakes work like a charm. The only thing that I would suggest for the company is to recommend break away automatic braking device when selling these brakes. It was required by law in Pa and I had to buy an automatic brake locally.
I would do business with these folks any day. I highly recommend.

All are working just fine after more than a year. Glad we had the brakes on our Aliner popup through the Rocky Mountains during our trip to the West Coast the summer of 2016.

- Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Assembly that is Weak on One Side Compared to OtherSounds like the one brake assembly is out of adjustment. Use a brake adjustment tool like # W80630 to turn the starwheel on the adjuster to expand the brake shoes until the wheel is very difficult to turn by hand. Then back off the starwheel in the other direction, about 10 clicks until the brakes drag slightly. Make sure all brake assemblies are adjusted in the same manner. Check out the video (see link). Beginning at the 4:23 mark, our installer shows how to adjust your trailer brakes.
view full answer... - Electric Brakes for 2007 Triton Trailer with 14 Inch Tires and 4-Bolt Brake Mounting FlangesBased on the tire size it would seem that you would need 10 x 2-1/4 inch brakes. They do mount with a 4 bolt pattern. If you are interested in self adjusting brakes you can use # AKEBRK-35R-SA for the right and # AKEBRK-35L-SA for the left. If you want manual adjust brakes you can use # AKEBRK-35R for the right and # AKEBRK-35L for the left. I have linked videos of both types for you.
view full answer... - Do Trailer Brake Assemblies Include Hubs and DrumsParts # AKEBRK-35L and # AKEBRK-35R are left and right hand 10 inch brake assemblies for 3,500 pound trailer axles. Use # AKEBRK-35 to purchase both of them together. The hub and drum assemblies and the bearing kits are not included. A 3,500 pound axle that uses 10 inch brakes and has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern likely uses bearings # L44649 and # L68149. You'll want to verify these are the correct numbers on your trailer. If they are then the hubs you need are # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K for...

- Electric Brake Assemblies for 2020 Forest River Wildwood FSX with 10 inch DrumsSince your drums/brake assemblies are 10 inch in diameter the replacement brake assemblies are part # AKEBRK-35R for the right hand side and # AKEBRK-35L for the left hand side.
view full answer... - Should Older Boat with Non-Functioning Hydraulic Brakes go to Electric BrakesReplacing the hydraulic brake setup of your trailer to an electric setup would be what I would do. The install is easier, the parts cost less, and you end up with braking performance that's adjustable. Basically what you'll end up doing is removing the brake assemblies on the brake axle, the brake lines, and either locking out your current coupler or replacing it with a fixed coupler. I attached a link to a help article that covers everything you'll need to do and the entire process but...

- How to Wire a Trailer with Electric Brakes to a 1995 Ford F-150We can certainly help you get set up with what you need to tow your trailer. Starting with the brakes on the trailer, (which I am going to assume are operational) each brake magnet will have two leads coming out of it. One lead needs to be grounded to the trailer, the other needs to be connected to a 10 ga. wire that runs to the tongue of the trailer. Run one lead from the brakes on the other side to this wire as well. On the trailer side, you will need a 7 way connector plug, part # H20046,(there...
view full answer... - Amperage of Brake Magnets and Size of Wire Used To Connect 7-Way Trailer Plug To Electric BrakesOn each individual electric brake magnet the amperage draw would be 3.0 to 3.2 max amps at 12 to 13 volts on 7-inch brake magnets and 3.2 to 4.0 max amps at 12 to 13 volts on 10 and 12-inch brake magnets. The max amperage draw for the brake magnets on a single axle trailer (2 brakes) would be 6.3 to 6.8 max amps on a 7-inch brake system and 7.5 to 8.2 max amps on 10 and 12-inch brake system. The amps will be higher if using a tandem axle or triple axle trailer. I am including a link to...
view full answer... - 10 x 2-1/4 Inch Electric Drum Brakes for a 2013 Keystone Springdale 303 Travel TrailerThere are some 10 inch hub/drum assemblies that take 10 inch brakes so it isn't uncommon. Your existing brakes should have the 4 bolt mounting pattern so you can use brake assembly # AKEBRK-35L for the left and # AKEBRK-35R for the right. I have linked a couple of videos on these brakes for you.
view full answer... - Do Trailer Brake Magnets Have a Duty CycleThere really is no set 'duty cycle' per se. I've seen magnets that had the wires feeding the magnet completely melt down after receiving that sort of amperage for an extended period of time. In other instances, not a thing happened. Since the magnet's resistance checked out okay, I'd do a thorough examination of the wires feeding all the magnets as well as the break away switch. If you see any scorched wires at either location, you'll want to replace that component. If the wires and switch...
view full answer... - 3,500 lb Trailer Axle Recommendation that's 95 inches Long and 5 on 5.5 inch Bolt Pattern HubsWe have the parts you'll need! The axle you mentioned part # 7359765 is the correct starting point as it's a 3,500 lb axle that is 95 inches from hub face to hub face and has 80 inches between the spring seats. Then for hub/drums that have a 5 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern you'd want the # AKHD-555-35-K which fits this hub and then for brake assemblies you'd want the # AKEBRK-35R for the right hand side and the part # AKEBRK-35L for the left hand side. With all of these components you'd be set!
view full answer... - How to Choose the Correct Brake Assembly for Trailer AxlesYou will need to do some measuring to determine if the 10 Inch Electric Brake Assembly LH, item # AKEBRK-35L, is the correct assembly for your trailer. Measure the diameter of the mounted brake shoe, the width of the lining and the distance between the mounting holes on center. It may also help if you can determine the manufacturer of your brake. Once you have these measurements you can choose the correct assembly for your axles. It is recommended to change both of the brake assemblies...

As far as using electric brakes in the water, it's generally not a good idea for the simple fact that water and electricity do not like each other. In this case, Hydraulic brakes are much better suited for your application. However,...
view full answer... - Can I Use Two Left Hand Electric Brakes On A Single Axle CamperWhen installing electric brakes onto your single axle camper you can not use 2 left brakes on one axle. You will need one Left # AKEBRK-35L and one Right # AKEBRK-35R. If one set of brake assemblies is on the wrong side of the axle, it will lead to diminished braking performance and premature brake wear. If you have any other questions please feel free to reach back out to me anytime and I will be more than happy to further assist you in your towing endeavors.
view full answer... - How To Determine Which Electric Brakes Will Fit On A 6x12 Utility Trailer Without Any BrakesI will need the bearing part numbers and the grease seal part number from your trailer so we can determine the correct hub drum assembly that is needed to install electric brakes on your trailer. The numbers needed for your bearings will be imprinted on the bearings and seals themselves. You would disassemble the hub and read the numbers off the bearings and seals. Remember which order they go in. Some trailer hubs have different size bearings on the inner and outer sides of the hubs. I...
view full answer... - What Does an Intermittent Flashing OL Code Mean for a Brake ControllerWithout knowing what brake controller you have I will venture to guess that the OL code you are seeing is an over load code. The OL or overload error code indicates a short in the brake output circuit. Start by examining the trailer connector. Make sure that the pins on the vehicle side of the connection and the sockets on the trailer side are not damaged or corroded. If you can see green corrosion on the pins or the sockets, there is a possibility that the corrosion may have spread to...

The most popular configurations are used for the kits but if you need to order items individually we can help you with that too. Adding brakes to a trailer that does not already have them requires a number of components that are detailed in the linked article. This article is a good place to start. I also included an article about adding hydraulic drum brakes to a trailer, since this is a much lower cost option. Electric drum brakes...

However, you won't need both the Hub and Drum Assembly and the Idler Hub. You need one or the other. If you're adding brakes to the trailer you'll need the hub and drum. Unless you have multiple axles and you're only adding brakes to one axle. If you don't...
view full answer... - Do etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes have Specific Power and Ground WiresThe brake magnets on etrailer electric brakes such as # AKEBRK-35L are not polarity sensitive which means either wire can be power and either can be ground. The trailer brakes and brake lights should be on separate circuits. It sounds like that is how you have it but there must be a short somewhere because the brake lights and brakes are on separate circuits. The draw of the brake magnets, if the source of the short, is much higher than what the LED lights are rated for so that could explain...

For a hub and drum assembly that will work I recommend # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K. You can then add electric brake assembly # AKEBRK-35L for the left side and # AKEBRK-35R for the right side. Replacement parts are readily available for the hub and drum assemblies and the brakes. The Timbren system shouldn't ever need any part replaced but if it does we can take care of you there, too.

- Can Boat Trailer Use Electric Brake AssembliesFor a very long time it was recommended to not use electric brake assemblies on boat trailers, but recently boat trailer manufacturers have been equipping their trailer with electric brakes. Plus we see people do it all the time without issue so we know it's okay now to use electric brakes on boat trailers. We still recommend disconnecting the brakes before backing the trailer into the water. If you needed a 10 inch brake assembly for a 3,500 lb axle the part # AKEBRK-35R would work well...

There is not a 10 x 2 inch size currently available. If your trailer has 3,500 pound axles, this will be the correct size brake assembly. You will just want to make sure that the 4 bolt mounting flange pattern on this assembly matches the existing mounting flange on your axle....
view full answer... - What Happens if Trailer Brake Assemblies are Installed BackwardsIf trailer brakes are installed on the wrong side of the axle they will have only a fraction of the stopping power they normally would have. I would recommend reversing your setup so that your trailer has more stopping power. I can't think of a reason the installer would have put them on backwards aside from a mistake.
view full answer... - Is a Brake Controller Necessary for Electric Trailer BrakesYes, a brake controller mounted in the cab is necessary to operate electric brakes. Hyrdraulic brakes are typically operated by an actuator in the trailer coupler. The Tekonsha Prodigy, part # 90885 is one of our best and most popular brake controllers. I will add a link to it below. Depending on your vehicle, we may have custom wiring kit for it that will plug directly into your truck or SUV and not require splicing any connections.
