Etrailer is great. I have been using them since 2014 or 2015 for various stuff. This order was for electric Dexter brakes - ten inch. Some other suppliers offer similar ones for half price but they are not as good as Etrailer. Auto-adjust (they call it Never-adjust) is very important. Also the shoes are cut nicer. One of the electromagnets failed - open circuit - first time that happened. I had 6600 miles on it. Curious failure. Recommended changeout is 12,000 miles anyhow so I am not real upset.
When you're flying down a 9% grade in the Rockies you want the best brakes and the best tires. Get Etrailer. Get the largest wheel and highest load range tires that will fit your trailer from Etrailer. I considered modifying the brakes to disc. $2000 plus they are not maintenance free either. Nothing is "maintenance free". I could change out all the brakes and drums 7 times for that $.

Brakes are still perfect. Mechanic told me not to pump the grease all the way through spindle because the inside seal often fails and grease runs onto the drum surfaces. That happened to me already. Not the fault of the brakes but of course grease makes brakes useless. Suggest pack the bearing the old way by hand.

@Raymond That's good advice. You'll also want to be sure to use a double lip grease seal which will be more resistant to allowing grease to get past it.

This is what you want. Do not cheap out. At first, I took my trailer to a trailer shop and specified American parts and told them to replace my brakes. They put no brand Chinese crap in my trailer and on my first trip in the rain I totaled my truck and damaged, my trailer and track car all because the brakes did nothing. So I bought the Dexters from Etrailer, put them in myself, and now the rig stops beautifully.

After a year, the Dexter breaks, still work beautifully and without further attention. The self adjusters appear to be doing their job. Don’t buy drum brakes without them. Meanwhile, the court case caused by the cheap Chinese brakes that were initially installed is still dragging on.

I have a five and half year old travel trailer with electric brakes. I noticed I had a hub that was intermittently getting hot. I know a little about bearings going bad but realized it was probably the brakes getting old and hanging up. I decided based on the price of these assembled backing plates that doing this full replacement on all four with new tires was good insurance. I order the stuff carefully (including new nuts and washers) on Sunday evening. It was delivered to my house on Friday afternoon all in good order. I had already taken the wheels to the tire store for replacement and removed the hubs. Saturday morning I started working and by the end of the afternoon I had new brakes, regreased bearings, replaced seals, and mounted new tires on my trailer. I did change the bearings on the hub that was getting hot. Just new seals on the others. The information on E Trailer made it easier to order online than to purchase at a local trailer parts house.



by:

Brakes work great! I used a self tapping screw to ground the brake to the trailer. This worked really well and I didn't need to run a ground wire. The studs needed a trip to the hardware store to get some 7/16 by 40 pitch (fine thread) nylock nuts. All in all a nice brake setup.

My order arrived on time and in new condition. Have not installed yet but so far so good.

Thanks for your help.

Last Saturday, after several weeks of research, my wife and I purchased a trailer. It had everything we wanted except for brakes. I asked the dealer if they could install brakes, he said it would take weeks if not longer for him to get the parts and then he would have to arrange for them to be installed.

I told the dealer that I had already done some preliminary research on eTrailer.com for brake parts. On a long shot, I asked the dealer if he could beat eTrailer.com prices for the brake parts and if so I would install. To the dealer's credit, he told me I would be much better off getting the brake parts I needed on my own. So, late Sunday evening I went onto the eTrailer.com website. After taking a couple of measurements to ensure I was ordering the correct parts, I placed the order. Their website is user friendly and intuitive, and the tutorial videos are excellent.

Early Monday morning I got a message from one of eTrailer's employees notifying me that my parts had shipped. He also offered his services if I needed anything further or if I had any questions. I did have questions, so I called him, I wanted to confirm that I had ordered the correct bolt pattern for the hub/drums. Within a couple of minutes we confirmed that I had taken the correct measurements. The reassuring part was, he said if you find the hub/drums are not the correct ones, let me know and we will get a return label out to you and get the correct parts out to you.

By early Thursday afternoon the parts had arrived. I had already watched the installation tutorial video that is on their website. Following the video process, the install was straight forward and PAINLESS. This company is so refreshing!

Thanks for the follow up. For almost 10 years now, I have been very happy with the service, products and value that I get from etrailer. So much so, that I refer friends and family to your website as their needs arise. As the mechanic in the family, and around the neighborhood, I often have people approach me for help. Several times a year I find myself referencing etrailers website to find a part we need or that will make a job easier to complete. Additionally, I CANT SAY ENOUGH how helpful etrailers on line video library has been with installations and to help answer questions or trouble shoot problems. I really appreciate that etrailer would take the time and resources to build such a library to help their customers.



by:

Bought 4 sets of these never adjust brakes, converting my 7500 lb trailer from surge hydraulic to truck controlled electric. Easy bolt on and wire conversion. One note of caution: They are called never adjust but should be called "one time adjust". If you fail to get the shoes close to adjusted at install you might get "service trailer brake" notification, as I did. Adjusted the brakes until a slight drag was felt spinning the wheel and all's well.
Good price and fast delivery

They went on fairly easy, adjusted well and seemed to work. They did work just not as well as I thought they would. I took a 5000 mile trip through mountains, all kinds of weather and down the highway and the trailer stayed behind. I haven't had time yet to check and see if the automatic adjustment was working by checking the adjustment. A lot easier to replace the complete unit than just parts which may have been wore out. I did the brakes, drums and bearings at the seem time.

Like I thought the automatic adjusters don’t work as well as the ones on my vehicles. They still need to be checked at least once a year.

Made in USA product, first off. Form Fit Function, awesome. The product came lubricated ready to install with lithium grease on the friction areas. I ran these on my trailer for ten years. I never adjusted the brakes one time after the installation. I haul heavy, and often. These brakes are the best for your money. Etrailer is quick and courteous staff that changed my order over the phone per my request to add additional items to the order. This is an easy to wire in item. I solder in my connections, never had to go and do them again. Great part hope to get ten more years out of these ones too.

This product has been on my trailer for more than a year. They are broke in and stopping great. still no adjustment since the installation.



by:

Still working on getting the OLD units off the trailer on one side, so install is not complete - but did get one side finished and the fit was Perfect. I am very excited to have the new Nev-R-Adjust versions on the trailer, as adjusting the breaks never seemed to make it into my maintenance schedule.

Service was EXCELLENT, with the ONLY constructive suggestion being the "Packaging" of the shipment. Fortunately your double weight boxes held up, but there was No Packing placed under the parts, but loads of packing put on the top. This allowed the parts to beat around along the bottom of the box unprotected, and almost break through the cardboard along the bottom, but as mentioned, everything did arrive intact.

Got my brakes in late May 2015. Same packing methodology. And green wires were crushed in spots. I actually pack college books I sell on Amazon better than the brakes were packed. So this comment feom 2012 still holds true. The job has been easy to accomplish regarding install. No brainer, just messy.

Exactly as stated. Everything you need already loaded onto backing plate. Undo 4 nuts, clip brake wires and old one falls off. New one fits perfectly. I bought the drum to go with it as a broken spring tore the heck out of everything in the old one. Bolt on easy ... basic mechanic skills required. Excellent quality, too.

I am very happy with these replacement brake assemblies.
I needed to replace the brakes on my boat and I decided to upgrade them from surge breaks with the manually adjusted style to these self-adjusting ones. I did talk to 3 different trailer repair shops all replace surge with electric brakes and all stated the same that fresh water will not hurt or the brakes. Plus living in Colorado driving in the Mountains over heats surge brakes.

Remember to order new adjuster plugs since they do not come with these brake assemblies. Even though the pictures make them seem like they are included. Needless to say, I had to order some after-the-fact as I did not notice they were not included.

I could not get a screw driver or brake adjuster spoon tool to work around my drop spindles, so I just popped the hub off and tweaked the one brake assembly that seemed two tight when I did a test spin with the wheel in the air.

I had the old off and the new ones on in about 90 minutes per wheel.
I can tell the brakes are working well as when I manually apply them through the controller I can feel it pull on the vehicle and slow it down.

While electric brakes can work in marine applications, there are some things to be aware. Submersing the system in water exposes components to water that normally would not. This will cause electrical connections and components to corrode faster. Inspection and maintenance will need to be more frequent and some parts will have shorter service lives. Hydraulic is always our recommendation for marine applications whether paired with a surge coupler or with an electric-over-hydraulic pump. The latter would be a good solution for mountainous or hilly driving that cause brakes to overheat with surge systems.

I am very happy with these replacement brake assemblies.

I needed to replace the brakes on my camper and I decided to upgrade them from the manually adjusted style to these self-adjusting ones. Now I know my camper brakes will always be working at their best.

Easy to install on my AL-KO 3500# axles. Be sure to order the recommended mounting nuts so you do not need to reuse them. Remember to order new adjuster plugs since they do not come with these brake assemblies. Even though the pictures make them seam like they are included. Needless to say, I had to order some after-the-fact. My old ones used one plug each and these require two each. My old ones were aged enough that I did not want to reuse them.

They did not come with any electrical connectors, but that did not bother me since I used heat shrink butt connectors anyways.

It is just easier to get them adjusted close when you put the hubs back on. If you have drop spindles like me, you cannot tweak them through the adjuster holes. I could not get a screw driver or brake adjuster spoon tool to work around my drop spindles, so I just popped the hub off and tweaked the one brake assembly that seemed two tight when I did a test spin with the wheel in the air.

A factory integrated brake controller will need to be adjusted for your particular trailer. There should be a section in the owner's manual on how to adjust the controller. It will need to be adjusted each time you tow a trailer of a different size or weight, unless it has programable memory settings. You may also need to adjust the brakes themselves on the trailer. Yolu want a slight, even amount of drag all the way around as you rotate the hub by hand.

Heads up!!
ordered 4 sets of hub, drums
and brakes over two years ago for a project I've been slowly working on. when I received the items, I noticed the packaging was damaged and reported it to etrailer. 2 years later, I finally went to use the items and discovered the bearings, caps and races had been damaged. I notified the management at etrailer and within a week had complete replacements.
What company in this day and age is willing to stand behind a damage claim two years on? Truly remarkable customer service and willingness to go the extra mile.
etrailer, You've won me forever as a devoted and satisfied customer. you guys are rock stars! Thank You.

  • Solution for Over Adjusted Never Adjust Brakes
    If you can pull the hub off that is going to be the easiest way to adjust the brakes looser but if it's super tight that might be hard. Otherwise you would have to use a drum brake spoon like the part # W80630 to try and move the adjuster back to a looser setting. You'll have to work against the mechanism that tightens the brake automatically which can be challenging but it is possible.

  • Replacement Self-Adjusting 10 inch Dexter Trailer Brake Assemblies
    For a set of 10 inch brake assemblies from Dexter you would want the part # 23-469 for the passenger side and part # 23-468 for the driver side. Since you most likely have 3,500 Dexter axles the bearing kit you would want that includes a seal is the part # BK2-100. This is a bearing kit for the 84 spindle which has L44649/L68149 Bearings and a 10-19 Double Lip Seal.

  • What Size Brake Assembly Does 3,500 lb Axle Take and What Bearing Numbers
    3,500 lb trailer axles have drums that are larger than 7 inches like what the assembly you referenced is designed to fit. For this size axle you'd need to use 10 inch assemblies like the part # 23-469 for the right hand side and part # 23-468 for the left hand side. For hubs that fit the axle capacity you mentioned and these assemblies you want the # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K which use the bearing numbers # L68149 and # L44649.

  • 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.

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...

  • Nev-R-Adjust Trailer Brakes are Not Locking Up After Re-packing Bearings
    There are a couple of things that caught my eye in your question. First, you mentioned taking the trailer to have the bearings packed. It is possible that in the process, they may have got some grease on the shoes or another component of the brakes and it is causing poor brake performance. I am not sure why, if the brakes were fine, that the tech adjusted them. You can adjust Nev-R-Adjust brakes, sometimes it is necessary, but they will eventually adjust themselves unless they are worn....

You will want to measure the inner diameter of your hub/drums and the depth of the drums to determine what brake assembly dimensions you need. For example the part # 23-468 is a 10 inch by 2-1/4 inch thick brake assembly. You also want to determine what the bolt pattern is of your assembly mounting...

  • Replacement Pads/Shoes for 10 Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies
    Yes, we do have the replacement brake pads (also known as shoes) for the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # 23-469 (right hand) as well as part # 23-468 (left hand). These are found as parts # K71-682 and # K71-681 respectfully. Please note that it is typically more cost effective to swap out the whole brake assembly. Another perk to doing this is that you can be confident that other internal components aren't excessively worn down from prolonged use.

  • What is the Difference Between Self Adjust and Nev-R-Adjust Brakes
    The difference between self Adjust like the # AKEBRK-35-SA and Nev-R-Adjust like the # 23-468-469 is that there isn't really a difference. Nev-R-Adjust is just what Dexter calls their self adjusting brakes. We do have both the right side # 23-469 and left side # 23-468 of the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust available, or together in kit # 23-468-469.

  • Is Initial Adjustment Required on Nev-R-Adjust Trailer Brake Assemblies
    Nev-R-Adjusts will adjust themselves and do not technically need an initial adjustment, but they will take a few times of having the brakes applied before they will be set properly. So its not technically required that you do the initial adjustment, but it is recommended just for safetys sake. Check out the video I attached that shows how to do initial adjustments on a Nev-R-Adjust assembly. Basically you would just tighten the adjuster until a slight drag is felt on the wheel and then...

  • Nev-R-Adjust Electric Drum Trailer Brakes for a Trailer with 7K Dexter Axles
    Most 7K axles are going to use 12 inch by 2 inch brakes. To determine if these are the right size you can measure the internal diameter of the drum and the width where the pads would make contact with the drum. I am confident that it will turn out to be 12 x 2 inches. For Dexter Nev-R-Adjust electric trailer brakes for 7K axles use # 23-465 for the right hand side and # 23-464 for the left hand side. These brake assemblies mount on a 5-bolt mounting flange. Even though these are Nev-R-Adjust...

  • Can Electric Trailer Brakes for a 4,400 Pound Axle be Used in Place of Brakes for a 3,500 Pound Axle
    Electric trailer brake assemblies for both 3,500 pound and 4,400 pound axles are 10 x 2-1/4 inches and both have the 4 hole square mounting pattern. So you can use 4,400 pound axles brakes. For the left use # K23-478-00 and for the right use # K23-479-00. These are Nev-R-Adjust assemblies which means after you adjust them the first time you will not have to manually adjust them again.
