TruRyde 12" Left Hand Electric Trailer Brakes Review

Video Transcript for TruRyde 12" Left Hand Electric Trailer Brakes Review

Today we are going to look at the TruRyde Electric Brake Assembly 12 for the left hand side, part number TRBK12E01. This is a 12 by 2 brake assembly. We can measure across the brake shoes for our 12 figure, and then we will measure the width of the shoes, and thats where we get our 2. This brake assembly when paired with the opposite side are good for axels up to 7,000 pounds. Its also covered by a 1 year limited warranty. It uses a 5 stud mounting pattern, so you need to check the axel on your trailer to make sure that you have the correct pattern.

There are a pair of wires that you will need to hook up to operate the magnet. It doesnt matter which you use for ground and which you use for brake feed, so as long as you have a solid electrical connection. This is a manual adjust brake, so over time as the shoes wear, you will need to adjust the tension to make sure you have proper braking pressure. To do this you will rotate the star wheel to expand this pin, and expand the shoes. This is an electric brake assembly, and the way it works is as you brake in the tow vehicle current is sent to this magnet and it is charged.

It becomes magnetized and it adheres against the drum rotating around it. As the drum rotates, the drag on the magnet activates this arm, and it will open the brake assembly up, applying pressure to the drum. Again this is an electrical system so you want to make sure you are not going to use it on boat trailers or marine applications. The way to identify which is left hand and which is right hand is that you will always make sure that the shorter shoe is facing the nose of the trailer, and the longer shoe is on the back of the trailer. And that does it for the TruRyde Electric Brake Assembly 12 for the left hand side, part number TRBK12E01..

Received 3/7/13, installed 3/14/13. Lost braking power yesterday 4/18/13. Took drum assembly apart to inspect brakes. After just barely over a months use and they are down to the metal? I've been doing this(pulling freight on 6-7klb axle trailer) for 10 years and generally get a years use per set. Drums were replaced with shoes. Must have gotten a bad batch this time.76894

That kind of wear certainly is not normal. How did you adjust the brake assemblies when you first installed them?

I bought 4 of these kits for my car hauler! Came with everything i needed and it was nice that its all assembled on delivery. I have read some reviews about the mounting bolts not being with the kit. That was not an issue for me because i just reused the old ones. installed in a couple hours and adjusted and works great so far. Cant beat it for the price.76402

Hi Patrick,I am glad to respond with a review of my experience with etrailer, My service was fast and responsive I ordered on Sat. and my order was shipped fast and with free shipping on $ 150+ orders prices were very competitive, In my area there is a lot of homemade and factory built trailers with mobile home style trailer axles and I would like to see more parts info and cross references on your web sight,I just place another order for some axle seals from you for a Moblie home style axle on a 2000 Hudson Trailer but had to use other sources to find part numbers, however I'm sure if I had called I could have found out what I needed just not on your web sight. Thanks for the great service. 66099

Servicing and upgrading old Ferree Trailer out of NC here in Arkansas. Appears to have two 7,000 pound axles with Dexter electric five hole brakes. When pulling the fourth hub we discover no parts, nada, nothing. Etrailer has the Dexter, but we spied and called Heather about this Tru-Ryde an exact replacement. She supplied this complete left side brake setup for one side, left. It fit perfectly, works like a charm, electrical pigtails are ready to hook up. Easier than pie.

I had 4-9.44 hubs on #5200 axles. When I replaced the hubs to a 8-201-90, I also replaced the brakes. Only one axle had brakes and they were shot. The other axle used to have brakes, but they were missing - nothing but spider webs. The #5200 axle is actually a derated #6000 axle, and the #7000 electric brakes are compatible with it. I installed these brakes on both axles. Very easy to install, fit perfect. The hardest part of the whole job was taking the nuts off the old rusted out brakes. So much fun that was. All new nuts/bolts/lock washers installed. Note to self: wire up the brakes PRIOR to mounting the wheels. 26663

  • Comparing Dexter and TruRyde Electric Trailer Drum Brake Assemblies
  • I went out to the warehouse and pulled a TruRyde Electric Brake Assembly, # TRBK12E01, and a similar Dexter brake assembly, # 23-180, of the same size to compare them. As far as construction, both units are almost visually identical. Upon further inspection, I found subtle design differences. But nothing that stood out giving one product an edge of the other. Both units are made mostly of metal with the only plastic parts being the wire coated and other non-moving parts. The springs used for

  • Parts needed to Replace Electric Brake Assemblies and Brake Mounting Flanges on a Trailer
  • Yes, you will need the Brake Mounting Flange for 3 inch Round Axle, item # 4-44-1, along with the TruRyde Trailer Brake Assembly, item # TRBK12E01, for a left side application on a 3 inch axle. For a right hand application you will need the TruRyde Trailer Brake Assembly, item # TRBK12E02, along with another brake mounting flange, item # 4-44-1. Other items needed are 5 each of the Brake Mounting Bolt Nut, item # 38N, and 5 of the Brake Mounting Bolt Lock Washers, item # 38LW, for each ass

  • Availability of Replacement 12 Inch AL-KO Electric Trailer Drum Brake Assemblies
  • The TruRyde Electric Brake Assembly, # TRBK12E01, and 02 are replacements for Dexter 12x2 brake assemblies # 23-105. These may work with your AL-KO axle but we do have Hayes/AL-KO brakes. For a left hand assembly, 12x2, use # 185100, and the right hand is # 185150.

  • What is the Bolt Hole Pattern for TruRyde Electric Brake Assembly, # TRBK12E01
  • I will be happy to provide you with those measurements. On the TruRyde Electric Brake Assembly, # TRBK12E01, and # TRBK12E02, the distance between the bolt holes is 2-1/16 inches on center except for the bottom 2 holes. The 2 bottom holes are 3 inches apart on center. These are 12 x 2 inch brake assemblies that fit 14-1/2 inch to 16-1/2 inch wheels and axles rated up to 7,000 pounds. I have incldued a link to a video that I think will be a tremendous help to you. It is about adding electric t

  • Parts Needed to Add Electric Drum Brakes to a Shorelander Boat Trialer with 2,200 lb Axle
  • To determine the correct parts for adding electric brakes to your trailer with idler hubs you will need to determine if your axle has a brake mounting flange and its bolt pattern. If the axle has a brake mounting flange then it most likely has a 4 bolt pattern. If there is not a brake mounting flange you would need to change out the axle. This would require special ordering an axle with a brake mounting flange installed on it. You could have brake mounting flanges welded to your existing axle

  • How To Determine What Size Brake Assembly is on a Tandem Axle Car Hauler
  • To determine if you have 10 inch brakes or 12 inch brakes you can measure the diameter of the mounted brake shoes on the trailer or measure the inside diameter of the brake drum. I am including pictures of where to measure on the brake assembly and the brake drum. You will also want to measure the width of the brake shoe lining to get the correct width brake assembly. Brake assemblies are listed by 12 x 2 or 10 x 2-1/4, which is the diameter of the brakes (10, 12) and the width of the brake

  • What is the Thickness of the Brake Shoe for a TruRyde 12 by 2 Inch Trailer Brake Assembly
  • I went out to the warehouse and pulled a TruRyde Electric Brake Assembly, # TRBK12E01, to take some measurements. The overall width of the shoe is about 1/4 inch (0.27 inches). The pad by itself is about 0.20 inches thick. I used a set of digital dial calipers to take the measurements.

  • Does a Trailer Rated for 14,000 Pounds Use 7,000 Pound Brake Assemblies
  • Since the trailer is rated for 14,000 pounds, you would go with two 7,000 pound assemblies. The TruRyde Electric Brake Assembly, # TRBK12E01, is a 12 x 2 inch brake with a 5 bolt mounting pattern. It fits with 14-1/2, 15, 16, or 16-1/2 inch wheels. This is the left hand assembly. For the matching right hand assembly, use # TRBK12E02.

  • Can Dexter or TruRyde Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies be Used In Place of AL-KO Brakes
  • Another expert recently got this same question from a customer. Basically, you will need to measure the mounting flange bolt pattern of the backing plates on your AL-KO brake assemblies to determine if the Dexter brake assemblies will mount up to your trailer. The TruRyde 12 x 2 Inch Electric Brake Assembly, part # TRBK12E01, that you have referenced will have a measurement, between the bolt holes on the mounting flange plate of 5 on 3-7/8 inches. The diameter of the center pilot hole is 3-3

  • How to Apply Grease using E-Z Lube Spindles
  • I recommend greasing your bearings and hubs as follows - first, grease your bearings and spindle by hand or with a bearing packer like part # L70025. If you are going to do it by hand, start with a gob of grease in your palm and then press the bearing into the grease with some force. Next, insert your bearings and grease seal in the hub and mount your hub on your spindle. You should slowly pump grease into the spindle. As you are pumping the grease into the spindle, occasionally rotate the h
