Self-adjusting driver-side electric brake is 12" x 2". Brake pads are made of durable friction material for improved braking and longevity. E-coated backing plate resists rust. Fits 14-1/2", 15", 16", 16-1/2" wheels.
Features:
- Electric brakes are easier to install and offer more user control than hydraulic brakes
- Requires only an electric brake controller (sold separately) - no actuator or hydraulic lines necessary
- Automotive-grade friction material is molded to brake shoes
- Pads are fully bonded - not riveted - to shoes for long life and more braking torque
- Less chance of cracking and crumbling that can lead to mechanical lockup, thanks to tapered edge and circular grinding
- Self-adjusting brake does not require periodic manual adjustment like standard brakes
- Fine-tooth brake adjustment gear allows for a more precise setting
- E-coated backing plate resists wear and corrosion
- Adjuster plugs (included) cover access holes to keep dirt and grime out of the assembly and off of the shoes
- Mounting bolts and hardware (BRKH12S) sold separately
- QAI and CSA certified

- Mounting flange bolt pattern: 5 bolt
- Wheel size: 14-1/2", 15", 16", and 16-1/2"

Self-Adjusting Brake Doesn't Require Routine Adjustment
Standard electric brake assemblies require manual adjustment of the brake shoes over time to provide longer-lasting and more efficient braking performance. With self-adjusting brakes, the brake shoes are always properly aligned, so there's no need to manually adjust the brakes after the initial adjustment. As a result, you get optimum performance without having to take the time to continually perform this type of maintenance.
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.

They were packed in paper in a big box. Packaging was very poor! The UPS guy dropped the box hard on the front porch and damaged one or 2 of the brake assemblies. I will have to determine which are good and which are damaged...
by: Chris08/18/2023
Product is great and easy to set up however the packaging from which it was sent as was a little less desirable from my seals getting dented and brake assemblies where thrown around in box with tears in box but all should be usable
by: Mike S.09/04/2016
I'm probably not the best mechanic that there is but these brake assemblies were very easy to install,it probably took me about an hour per wheel to install,great service from a person named Michelle that helped me to get them shipped quickly,thanks, I would definitely recommend this company for all of your trailer parts....

Oh no. So, I have looked into the notes on your order and it looks like only one was ordered. Awe man, I am so sorry that this happened. Let's get another one ordered and sent out to you right away. I have sent your information over to customer service for them to get this taken care of; you should hear from them within the next 24-48 hours. When you finally receive the rest of what you need, I would love to hear your updated feedback for your project.

2 out of 4 were perfect the other 2 had issue's being I used to work on brakes i took care of it my self including the nicked wire

Quick service and exactly what I needed!

To team etrailer,
So far,so good. The complete units were easy to install, although some of the brake assembly units were out of place and had to be reset from shipping and ruff handling. Here are some pictures of the 44 ft pace rig. We have already recommend you to many of our peers. We travel to about 20 events per year and in all kind of traffic conditions, we will let you know how they slow down the unit.
Thanks Al and Matt

Easy to install.
When seals fail they send grease all over the brake asy.
This was easy fix
by: Jim08/09/2016
Although trailer is not on the road yet the brakes are a exact match and mounted perfectly.
by: Steven N09/24/2016
Product arrived quickly, easy to install. I put them on all 4 wheels of our 5 wheel camper. It was cheaper and easier to do it this way than to replace shoes and magnets.
by: Larry 05/23/2023
These kits make repairs much easier than replacing just the shoes and provide all new hardware.
Very satisfied with the assistance and response from Etrailer to help me get the parts to fix my RV.
by: Mommaski07/21/2017
Our Flat bed trailer can do some pretty heavy work however we do not use this trailer all the time.
When the brakes failed we ordered from etrailer and the parts came in and we installed them without much ado.
Thank you for having all the parts we needed. After a year of seldom but heavy usage the self adjusting brakes are still working splendidly.
by: Peter06/01/2023
Only had to replace one. Will be checking all again this summer when I re-pack my bearings.

Shipping took entirely to long
by: Dennis K02/22/2017
I don't usually do product reviews but wanted to post this one. This was my first purchase from etrailer. I purchased all four brake assemblies for our 5th wheel which I felt was the easiest and best way to go and had my drums machined. It was a very easy transaction, the parts came quickly and fit as they should. Very pleased with the product although I have not put the trailer on the road yet.
BUT- The packaging was very poor. The assemblies were in a carton twice as big as it needed to be without adequate packing and the items rattled around to the point that two shoes were knocked out of place on the backing plates. I was able to correct it and no damage done, this time. Please improve your packaging.
I would definitely buy from etrailer again.

all good, over 6000 mi and no problems. thanks

I purchased the brake assemblies last spring but did not get around to installing on our 5th wheel trailer this past fall. Packaging was sufficient & all parts were there & in place on the backing plates.The install went well, brakes are working good.I looked up online a brake in procedure for the shoe assemblies & followed it which helped out after the install.Overall I'm pleased with the price of the product,the service from etrailer aswell.

Brake assemblies working great,I like dealing with etrailer.Also good information from reps.
by: David08/07/2023
first, Thank you Kate for all of your help. The brake assy worked perfect.
by: Dave T.10/02/2016
The brakes on my 2002 Komfort 24-TS trailer were completely shot. I needed to replace the drums (cheaper than having them turned). I also needed to replace the electric brake assemblies and to upgrade them from manual to automatic adjusting. I called etrailer.com a couple of times to make sure I was ordering the rights parts and the phone reps were very helpful and courteous. The parts arrived on time and in good shape. I had everything I needed to complete the job. It took me all day to do all 4 wheels but I saved myself a whopping $1,000 over having the shop do the job.

Arrived as advertised. Easy to install with the aid of the online Trailer video.
by: Matthew07/20/2023
Great customer service! Quick notification of a part that would cause me a delay and they provided some options to work around that delay. Very quick reply and shipping when a part was damaged in transit.
by: Mitch09/05/2018
Bought this backing plate to replace grease soaked brakes on Lippert 2016 7000 lb. axle. Since no one sells just the brake linings, I had to buy the whole assembly. Exact match of the Lippert backing plate. Very easy to replace.

The shipping time was very quick. It was really less expensive and trouble to replace the entire brake assembly than just the shoes.

No problems! Brakes work perfectly. Always best to replace everything.
by: Alan S10/03/2016
They work like advertised and are of good quality, I haven't had them long enough to to know about the self adjusting feature but it looks just like all the rest so I don't know why it wouldn't work. Thanks for getting them to me so quickly.
by: Donnie N08/08/2016
They fit just like original equipment. Could not imagine doing brakes on a trailer a different way. I don't know how they can sell these brake kits this Cheap !!!!!

I couldnt be more pleased
by: jim09/19/2017
Had two different style tired old units that I rewired only to have brittle old wires break in a different place each time I fixed it. Replaced all four new brakes and now have a trailer that stops, job made easy by getting the correct parts.

- Which Wire on Brake Assembly is Normally Power and GroundBrake assembly wiring isn't polarity sensitive which means either wire on the magnet can be a positive or negative but in general the blue color is for the output circuit and white is ground so that is most likely what you have. There isn't anything between these circuits that would prevent continuity so what you are experiencing is normal.
view full answer... - Picking Out Replacement Self Adjusting Brake Assemblies for Northwood Fox Mountain 235RLSBased on what you listed so far the most likely solution you need for self-adjusting brake assemblies would be the part # AKEBRK-7L-SA for the left hand side and part # AKEBRK-7R-SA for the right hand side but you should check out your current assemblies first to verify this. Make sure your current assemblies are held on with 5 bolts and that the drum has a 12 inch diameter. If you have something different let me know and I'll get you what you'd need.
view full answer... - Replacement Electric Brake Assemblies for Denali Trailer with Tandem 5.2K Lippert AxlesI'm assuming that you're simply replacing the existing brake assemblies and that your trailer has hub/drums that have an inside diameter of 12 inches and a depth of 2 inches. I'm also assuming that your existing brake drums are in good shape, and you're planning on reusing them. If that's the case, I'd recommend the self adjusting electric brake assembly, part # AKEBRK-7R-SA for the right hand side, part # AKEBRK-7L-SA for the left. You'll need two of each. The brake assemblies don't include...
view full answer... - Why Are Dexter Trailer Brake Assemblies More ExpensiveThe higher cost of Dexter electric brakes like the Nev-R-Adjust # 23-459 definitely has a lot to do with their name. The name is so recognizable in the industry because they have been around for a very long time, their parts are extremely reliable, and they are made right here in the USA. With that being said the more cost-efficient options we offer still do a great job. In fact our etrailer.com brake assemblies such as # AKEBRK-7L-SA for the Left Hand and # AKEBRK-7R-SA for the right...
view full answer... - Recommended Leaf Spring Axle and Lift Kit For Trailer With 9000lb Torsion AxleI would be happy to recommend everything you will need to replace your 9000lb torsion axle with a leaf spring axle and an everything needed to get it installed, but unless your current axle has a 3-4" drop spindle you will not be able to raise the trailer by the 7" you are looking for. Since you mentioned your 9000lb axle is twice the strength you need, the Dexter Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - E-Z Lube - 8 on 6-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 95" - 7,000 lbs # 8327834-EB may be a great option but...

- Is There a Difference Between Brake Assembly Replacement for Dexter Nev-R-Adjust 23-459The only difference between those parts is the part number - they are the exact same brake assembly. The Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Right Hand # AKEBRK-7R-SA would be a perfect replacement for the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - 12" - Right Hand # 23-459. To install it you only need the Mounting Bolts and Hardware for 12" Single Brake Assembly # BRKH12S. If you are looking for the left side at any point, that would be the Electric Trailer...
view full answer... - What are the Functions of the Wires on Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer BrakesYou are correct. On trailer brake assembly # AKEBRK-7L-SA, one wire is ground and the other is the power wire. It does not matter which is which. This assembly is the left hand (driver) side. The matching right hand side is # AKEBRK-7R-SA.

You will want to get the bolt pattern of the brake mounting flange on your axle and if it is a 4-bolt flange or a 5-bolt flange. Also, if you get the weight capacity of the axles on your trailer it will help you determine brake capacity needed. All of this information will help you get the correct brake assemblies for your trailer. It...

Since your hub uses inner bearing # 25580 and outer bearing # LM67048 you will need to go with six of the Bearing Kit # BK3-310 if you are wanting to reuse your hubs, and if you are needing new hubs you will need the Dexter # 8-201-5 along with the above bearing kit. This includes new bearings, races, cotter pin, tang washer, and grease seal # GS-2125DL which matches the dimensions in your picture. Based on this bearing combination you have a...

- Can Timbren 5200 lb Axle-Less Suspension Be Installed on I-Beam Trailer FrameThe Timbren # TASR5200S03 can absolutely be used on a trailer with an I-beam frame, but you'll need to weld a piece of steel plate onto the outboard side of the I-beam to box off the frame so the Timbren system can attach properly. Timbren doesn't offer the 5200 lb system complete with hubs and brake assemblies but I'd be happy to recommend hub/drums and brake assemblies for you. For hub drums, our house brand # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern would be fully compatible...
view full answer... - 6k Lippert Axle Brake Assembly RecommendationThey should fit just fine. But you can verify this by checking out the brake mounting flange on your current axle. If they have a 5 bolt pattern and your hub/drums are 12 inch by 2 inch this brake assembly would work well on the right hand side of your axle. The left hand version is part # AKEBRK-7L-SA.

- Replacement Electric Drum Trailer Brakes for a 10,000 Pound Pro Line TrailerSince you have Dexter brakes now, you can stick with Dexter and go with some self adjusting, # 23-458 (left hand side) and # 23-459 (right hand side). You can also use the etrailer.com, self adjusting brakes # AKEBRK-7L-SA (left hand side) and # AKEBRK-7R-SA, (right hand side). Both of these brake assemblies listed above mount with the 5 bolt pattern.
view full answer... - New 7K Trailer Axle to Replace a Lippert 6K Trailer AxleWe have 7K options but they not a traditional straight axle. They are more like torsion axles that have their own built-in suspension and do not require an axle beam between the 2 sides. This design would then provide independent suspension! The most basic option is # TASR7KS01. It has brake mounting flanges but no hubs or drums. This allows you to select the hubs/drums and brakes you want. They do have the grease fitting for EZ lube hubs but you don't have to use EZ lube hubs. You can...
view full answer... - Replacement Hub and Brake Assemblies for 2007 Stellar Triple Axle Toyhauler w/ Lippert 6k AxlesBased on the numbers you mentioned and the fact that you have a Lippert 6k axle I was able to determine that you need the # AKHD-865-7-G-EZ-K as a replacement hub and drum. This comes with the same 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt pattern you have with 1/2 inch diameter studs. Then for self adjusting brake assemblies you need the part # AKEBRK-7L-SA for the left hand side and part # AKEBRK-7R-SA for the right. Self-adjusting brakes are the way to go. Once installed and allowed to self-adjust you would...
view full answer... - How To Determine Correct Braking Assemblies for Tow Master Trailer with Unknown Axle Capacity It is not required to know the axle capacity when selecting the correct replacement barking assemblies for a trailer axle though it does help. If you want to try and determine this you can look for a sticker on the center of the beam or measure the diameter of the beam assuming it is indeed a round axle tube. The smaller 3,500 lb axles usually have a 2-3/8" diameter whereas the larger 5,200 lb and 7,000 lb axles usually have a 3" diameter. That said, if you know the size of your braking...
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Brake Assemblies to Replace Dexter 023-357Our etrailer.com brand brake assemblies are right on par with the quality of Dexter brake assemblies. The numbers you mentioned are 12 inch assemblies like what the part # AKEBRK-7R-SA and # AKEBRK-7L-SA is designed to replace. These assemblies just happen to be at a much better price.
view full answer... - Is a Brake Controller Needed to Activate Electric Trailer BrakesIf you need to activate the brakes of a trailer then yes you do need to install a brake controller. There is no other way to activate trailer electric brakes than with a controller. If you were just going to run a power wire and ground to the brake assemblies the brakes would be locked up all the time. The controller allows you the ability to control how much braking is sent to the assemblies so that the trailer can stop in a smooth effective manner. For a brake controller I would recommend...

- Recommeded Axle-Less Trailer System For 8500 lbs CapacityFor an 8,500 lb capacity trailer, you will actually get a 10,400 lb capacity because of where the axle weights fall. For this I recommend 2 of the the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension - Spindle Only - Regular Tires - 5200 lbs, # ASR5200S01. For the hub and drum assembly, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb - 7,000-lb Axles - 8 on 6-1/2 - E-Z Lube, # 42866UC3-EZ. You will also need the brake assemblies of Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left Hand...

If you were looking for a similar hub that is setup for use with trailer brakes you would want the part # AKHD-865-7-G-EZ-K. Then if you needed brake assemblies you would want the part # AKEBRK-7R-SA for the right hand side and part # AKEBRK-7L-SA for the left hand side.

You will want to check your spindle size against the bearing sizes in the application to confirm a fit.

This can be done by checking for voltage on the blue brake output wire directly behind the brake controller with the manual override engaged. There should...

The correct hub and drum assembly is # 8-201-5UC3-EZ and the correct braking assemblies are the # AKEBRK-7L-SA and # AKEBRK-7R-SA. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Replacement Hub/Drum and Self-Adjusting Brake Assembly Recommendation for a Lippert 5,200 lb AxleFor a hub/drum that will fit your Lippert 5,200 lb axles you would want the hub part # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K that have the same 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern you said you have. For a self-adjusting brake assembly for the right hand side you would want the part # AKEBRK-7R-SA and for the left hand side you would want the part # AKEBRK-7L-SA. That would be all that you would need. I attached review videos for the hub and brake assemblies for you to check out as well.
