EXCELLENT...... START TO FINISH. Fantastic service, great prices, quality products. Here's a before and after picture. It only took 30 minutes and basic tools to make the replacement. So much better than trying to clean up the old rusty one. Thanks again, Bill Borland in Michigan

I ordered these brakes on Tuesday they arrived at my house (in southeast Texas) on Friday (free shipping). These brakes heavy duty and a breeze to install. I paid twice as much for brakes I had bought before, locally. Good job ETrailer!!!!

Brakes were a perfect match for my camper and a simple bolt up. Thank you Anthony W. For making sure I got the right parts



by:

I bought 2 sets of 12x2 electric brake assembly for my car hauler. I was just going to replace the shoes but after remembering the difficaulty in doing drum brakes in the early days, I found it easier and less time consuming by just remove 5 bolts and connect two wires. This product came to my door with in only 3 days. Great looking product (no picture because i"m writing this after the install).
I have been back to etrailer several time for other items such as hitch shank, wheel center caps even grease caps. Great place to shop.

am still very pleased with these brakes. They have performed great with no problems to date.

I am writing this very favorable review of my online shopping experience with etrailer. Recently I had to replace the brakes, hubs, wheels and tires on my travel trailer. Please keep in mind that I am a 65 year old man without a lot of experience with online shopping. Never-the-less, I decided to give it a try in hopes of saving some money. To my surprise, etrailer made the experience very easy and painless. Before I placed my order on line, I had a question about one of the items on my shopping list, so I placed a call to them. I spoke with a very lovely and patient Customer Service Representative by the name of Michelle S. She was very helpful in answering my questions and encouraged me to call her back directly when I was ready to place my order; and so I did. During the shipping process, she kept me informed through emails the status of my order and everything arrived on time and in great shape. I truly appreciate the personalized services I received doing business with etrailer. They truly removed all of the uncertainty and nervousness of shopping online.



by:

Unfortunately, one of the 4 brakes came with the spring and adjuster shaft on the bottom of the box. I put them back on without too much trouble but etrailer should review the product packaging in order to protect the brakes from damage. The install needs shrink tubing style crimp connectors. Mine required sizes for 16 to 18 gage and one size up for joining 3 wires where one wire crosses over thru the axel from the left to the right side. Also there are two adjuster plugs per brake so a total of 8 plugs are required for 4 brakes. Once installed they worked great.



by:

The right and left hand brake were very easy to install and came with everything needed. The only problem after install, is that the left hand break gave off a buzzing sound while brakes were not engaged...adjusting the arm as suggested by your technicians to the electric magnet did not help...there was little engagement from magnet to drum while brake were not engaged, that i decided to go the 8k miles anyway, checking every night stop...it still has the buzzing sound and I will need to replace.

Quality product and super fast shipping



by:

I had bought a used Hallmark 24' cargo trailer. Got around to repacking the bearings and one brake assembly had just come apart. Electric brakes and one lead was gone so I order this item. Arrived in a timely manner. Installed backing plate/brakes and hub in about 15 minutes. Attached electric brake leads and everything looks great. I have not figured out how to test the electric brakes.



by:

Good OEM replacement parts at the best price I could find. Bolted right up with no issues. Very disappointed that the brake adjuster slots do not come with plugs. Plugs from old brake assy, did not fit, plus there are two slots per new brake assy, but only one on old brake assy. Ordered 8 plugs. Disappointed as I had to pay for additional shipping when I ha free shipping.

  • Best Way To Test Trailer Side 7-Way Without A 7-Way On Tow Vehicle
    Hello Dylan. Without having a vehicle to connect to, the only way to properly test your trailers 7-way is to use a tester like the Tekonsha # 8010 or the Hopkins Tow Doctor # HM50928. These testers provide a power source and will allow you to test all of the functions easily by yourself. These testers are expensive though, so if it were me. I would go ahead and put that money towards installing a 7-way on the vehicle so you can test it that way. If you can let me know the year, make and...

  • Brake Assembly Recommendation for Trailer with Dexter 5,200 lb Trailer Axle
    We definitely have Dexter brake assemblies to fit a Dexter 5,200 lb axle like you have. The part # AKEBRK-7-SA is a kit that includes a left and right hand assembly for a 5,200 lb axle like what you have. These are self-adjusting too which means that you'll never have to manually adjust them either.

  • Trailer Brakes Lock Up When Connected to Truck
    There are a few things that can cause the brakes to lock up on a trailer. First, disconnect the trailer from the vehicle. Then use a circuit tester like # PTW2979 if needed to test the connector on the vehicle. Have someone sit in the truck and run through the various functions to make sure everything is working. If any of them are showing a constant 12 volts, and the matching pin on the trailer side goes to the brakes, that would be why the brakes lock up. This is especially an issue...

  • Replacement Grease Seals for Part # 22333TC and Brakes for a 2002 Airstream Safari Trailer
    The correct replacement grease seals for your # 22333TC seals is part # RG06-070. This includes two double lip seals and they have the same inner diameter, outer diameter and thickness as your current seals. To replace your brake assemblies on your 2002 Airstream trailer you can use the Dexter Electric Brake Assemblies, # 23-105 for left hand and # 23-106 for right hand.

  • How to Fix a Trailer Leaning Heavily to One Side
    The reason your trailer is heavily leaning to one side is because of the way it's loaded. From the picture, it appears that you have much more equipment on the right side than you do the left side. This uneven loading has caused the leaf spring to wear down quicker overtime further worsening the problem. Unfortunately, you really only have two options to fix the problem which would be to either reorganize how equipment is loaded on the trailer or replace the suspension components with...

  • Troubleshooting New Trailer Brakes the Feel Weak
    You didn't mention adjusting the brakes so I believe that is where your problem lies as this is a very common problem. You want to tighten the brake assemblies so that there is a light drag on the hub/wheel as you turn it otherwise the brakes will feel pretty weak. 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.

  • How to Choose the Correct Replacement Hubs and Brakes for Keystone Montana Fifth Wheel
    Thank you for the information you provided. Based on the sticker on the brakes I can tell you that the replacement brakes you need are the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - 12" - Right Hand # 23-106 and Left Hand # 23-105. The brakes are for 6,000 lb axles so based on that and the 8-219 you provided I was able to narrow down what hub you need, but there is still a bit more info to get the correct part - the bearings and wheel bolt pattern. For example, the Dexter Trailer Hub and...

  • Error Message on Brake Controller with 2011 Dodge Ram 3500 Towing 4 Star 36 ft. Gooseneck Trailer
    The random nature of this problem suggests that motion and vibration while driving are revealing the issue. I have included an article on troubleshooting brake controllers; this will guide you through the testing steps to eliminate potential causes one by one. I do see that you have already checked your connections to ensure they are clean and secure. Sometimes issues like this one can hide behind an intermittent connection - the wire seems attached solidly in the mechanical sense (it will...

  • Replacement Grease Seal for Hadco LA370R 6 On 5-1/2 Hub
    We don't offer a grease seal that would have the proper outer diameter to work with your Hadco Hubs, but we might have a solution that would allow you to upgrade your existing hub/drums so they're compatible with easily obtainable grease seals. If your Airsteam uses a standard 12 inch brake assembly like # 23-106, you can replace your hubs using # 8-201-5UC3-EZ which uses the readily available 10-10 grease seal. The hub/drum is compatible with the 25580 inner and LM67048 outer bearing...

  • How to Find Which Trailer Brake Assembly Goes on the Left or Right Side of a Trailer
    The left side is the driver side, right side is passenger side. On a trailer brake assembly like # 23-105 the arm that the magnet is on points to the front of the trailer and the magnet always will be on the bottom. I have included a picture that shows what I mean. The matching right side assembly is # 23-106.

  • Should I Put Brakes on the Front or Back Axle of my Tandem Axle Trailer
    Typically trailers will carry more of their weight on the front of the trailer, so you would want to put the brakes on the front axle as it will most likely carry more weight while braking. Also, when braking, weight will shift forward from the inertia of the stop, so that would put more weight on the front axle. Click the picture to the right to see a picture that displays how tandem axle trailers typically distribute their cargo weight on their two axles. If you have a trailer that carries...

  • Why Are Trailer Manufacturer's Installing Brake Assemblies Only On The Rear Axle
    Hey Eddie, Typically they run the brakes to the first axle because it does carry more weight than the rear in most cases and because it's less cost/time consuming to go to the first axle. I can't say for certain why they would run the brakes to the rear axle but it's likely because in some way it's easier or cheaper to do for that manufacturer. I would just add brakes to the front axle as well for better braking power if it were my trailer. When you say the brakes slide do you mean...

  • Recommended Electric Brake Assemblies and Hub Drums for a 26ft Gooseneck Trailer
    If your brake assemblies mount on a plate using 5 bolts, you most likely would be looking for a 12 inch diameter brake assembly like part # AKEBRK-6R and # AKEBRK-6L, but you could verify this by measuring directly across the center of your drum or the brake assembly. To recommend the correct hub drum for your application, I would need to know your current hub bolt pattern, as well as the bearings it uses. In order to determine your hub drum bolt pattern, you would need to measure center...

  • Troubleshooting Electric Trailer Brakes Not Registering With the Brake Controller
    I can help you troubleshoot your brake controller error. Sounds like a grounding issue to the brake magnet ground. I would make sure that the ground wire is secured tightly to a clean surface on the frame. If the wire is attached to the body or a surface with an undercoating or rust it can cause a ground problem. I recommend cleaning the area or finding a better grounding spot for the wire. Another option would be to run all the grounds to the front of the trailer where the main ground...

    Thanks for the information Scott! The brake assemblies your Sundowner horse trailer uses are item # 23-105 for the left hand and item # 23-106 for the right hand. The replacement brake shoe you need is item # AKBRKR-S-12. These are sold individually so you'll need one per wheel if you're replacing both.

  • Replacement Brake Assemblies for 2005 Airstream Safari
    It looks like all models of the 2005 Airstream Safari used 12" x 2" brake assemblies regardless of the axle capacity. If you want standard brakes you can use the Dexter # 23-105-106. If you want the Nev-R-Adjust self-adjusting brakes then you need the # 23-458-459. I recommend going with the self-adjusting option so you don't have to worry about them once they're installed.

In order to have the same setup with self-adjusting brakes, you need the following parts: - Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 6,000 lbs # 8327830 - Brake Mounting Bolt for 12" Brake Assembly # 7-5 - LocTite Hyper Lube # LOC54FR - Dexter 12" Hub/Drum # 8-201-5UC3-EZ - Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Assembly that Locks Up One Wheel on Trailer
    Most likely it's a mechanical problem on the specific assembly that's locking up when you hit the brakes. If it was a short in the wiring they all would be locking up. Best option is to pull the hub off and inspect the assembly to see if you can find out what's wrong with the assembly and then replace/fix as needed. For an exact replacement for your assembly on the left hand side you'd want the part # 23-468. Also you should note that the Dexter self adjusting brake assemblies do not adjust...

I have attached a link to the hub and drums we have that are designed for a 7,000 lb axle you can check out. If you do not have EZ-Lube axles I recommend part # 42866UC3.

  • What is the Mounting Hole Pattern for Dexter 6K Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies
    The mounting holes are actually closer to 2-1/8 inches for the closest ones and 3 inches for the bottom 2 holes on brake assembly # 23-105 and # 23-106. I have included a picture showing the measurements. It is very close and you could call it 2 inches but the brakes fit a standard 5-bolt mounting flange such as # 4-44-1.
