Putting them on was easy, Would be nice if new nuts came withthe kit



by:

Great product. Direct bolt on. Could not have been easier!



by:

All of the items I ordered were delivered early (at no additional cost to me). All were in great shape. Plus, I received the 110% Lowest Price Promise refund! I'll definitely shop here again.



by:

Fast shipping and this was an exact replcement for what was instaled on my trailer. Remember to order the nuts for the 4 studs. The old one do braked off during removal.



by:

Ordered my parts on Tuesday... showed up on Thursday! Awesome delivery time. Read the reviews for the 7" brakes I needed to replace on my popup camper, and several folks said to make sure to order the bolts, nuts and washers - since the etrailer replacements didn't come with them. The 7" brakes DO infact come with the pressed-in bolt studs already in place, the only thing extra you'll need to get would be the nuts and lock washers if you don't already have them. Installation is as simple as bolting them on and crimp connecting two wires. I'll make final adjustments to the brake controller once everything is back in place.



by:

This brake assembly replaced my original electric brake on 2004 Fleetwood/Coleman Sedona. You need to order four nuts for the brake mounting bolts on each assembly. etrailer's service/delivery was extremely fast with the free shipping on orders over $150. I also bought the LH assembly and matching hubs for the dexter ez axle. I would definitely buy from etrailer again.



by:

Sent me a defective brake drum assembly with NO offer of replacement! so I had to try and fix it myself. I am still not sure of it performance?
Just the average customer support. Not so good. I sent pictures of the problem.
No big deal...it's only safety.

This shouldn't have happened Paul. Let me help make this right for you.



by:

The staff at eTrailer.com are very helpful and knowledgeable - ask if you're unsure. I originally ordered through the Internet and received the wrong products - because I neglected to ask questions. The return went smooth, but I had to pay for it (my error). The next round arrived well packaged (externally), but there was thin packing tape all over the outside of the hubs and some on the inside rubbing surface of the hubs. It took some doing to get it all off. There was a little rust on the non-contact surfaces of the hub as well as on the brake housing. On the brake housing, you can see some rust in the pic. Looks like it may have been rebuilt. This doesn't seem to have any effect on its operation though. Seals, Races & Bearings are super clean and fit perfectly. I installed these brakes onto the existing '4.5 on 5' flange on a 2000 pound axle (on a 2004 Aliner LX Classic Pop-up trailer). It came with the bolts to attach to the flange, but be sure to order the adjuster grommets, lock washers and 7/16x20 fine thread nuts, since it doesn't come with them. Once I got the wiring set up properly, it works exactly as it should. I prewired the setup prior to delivery. My error was that I assumed the only wire I'd need to run was the blue (brake) wire, but there are two wires on the brake housing as you can see in the picture. Either one goes to the blue (doesn't matter which) and the other attaches to the neutral (white) wire that goes back through the trailer's main wiring harness. Simply attaching the wire to the trailer frame (ground) like I initially did as seen in the picture looked like a good clean setup and easy solution to my one-wire mistake. Unfortunately, it DID NOT WORK. The secondary (neutral) wire must be detected by the tow vehicle's brake controller. Plan ahead and buy the blue and white primary wires (20 feet of 14 or 16 gauge will work) and run them next to each other before hand. Be sure to house the wires in 'plastic split loom tubing' so they don't rub against anything and zip tie them to the frame, so they're not hanging or in the way of anything. Happy braking. :-)

These are nice pieces. I converted from hydraulic to electric. They are made in america which I appreciate. No issues installing. etrailer was helpful with helping me with correct part numbers for my applications and the swap. I appreciate their customer service, knowledge and parts provided.

I'm giving ETRAILER an excellent review for there dedication to making sure I received a quality product on time.

Great question ! I did a seasonal maintance inspection and cleaning on my electric break axle at the end of March.All of the break Assembly look excellent.I used W D 40 and Scottsbrite to remove any light corrosion.I used 400 grit sand paper on the hubs where the shoes meet the hub surface.I will reassemble the hubs next fall when I use the trailer again for snowmobiling.



by:

I appreciate the assistance with my order. Everything fit just right. Instructions were clear and helpful.



by:

Excellant product, all put together and ready to bolt onto the backing plate. Wiring was plenty long enough, and a very simple and easy install.



by:

Exactly as ordered, ready to install in place of original, re-assemble and go.



by:

After grinding off old surge brakes, these went under my snowmobile trailer with a perfect fit. I mounted an electrical junction box 10ft back from the tongue, and that made wiring them much easier also. Last season, on a snowy trip back from up north, I was able to straighten out my sliding trailer with just a quick reach for the brake controller. I would highly recommend this product.



by:

delivered on time product, of good quality very helpful c/s .Will shop here again



by:

I purchached these brakes to convert from hydraulic surge brakes on my 1973 pop-up camper. It was a simple, bolt on conversion that took only a few hours to complete; including wiring. One week later, they performed flawlessly on the 400 mile trip to hunting camp. Thanks e-trailer for a great product and service.



by:

The items went onto my Aspen Classic trailer fairly easy. The only glitch was that I received axel caps that were too large. Once I notified the company, I received the correct caps rather quickly and finished up the install.



by:

These brakes are well built, but unfortunately I had to return them before trying them out. There was a large gap between the brake and the drum. The etrailer tech suggested using washers/spacers to move the brake further into the drum, but the mounting bolts on the brake were not long enough to accommodate this situation. I had to find an alternative brake with a longer mounting bolt. Otherwise, seems like a good product.



by:

The 23-47 brakes are an excellent replacement on my 1997 Coleman Fleetwood Bayports popup camper that I am close to finishing a restoration process on. They fit perfectly! Very happy to purchase an excellent product from the fastest shipper I have ever come across. I am blown away by the professionalism with this company!
Thanks



by:

The part was exactly what I needed. Delivery was very quick, 2 work days. The price for the entire brake assembly was less than an auto parts store quoted Me for one piece of the assembly. Yes it was less expensive to buy the assembly, than to buy just the magnet. The sales clerk for the assembly was very helpful and sincere. The clerk told Me after I had placed the order that I would receive parts at the good price, delivered, with no extra freight charge. I was very pleased when I received the parts and they fit very well. I will be contacting them again. I have owned and operated my repair shop for over 40 years. It is so nice to talk with a most Pleasant order clerk and receive exactly what I needed. The clerk was patient and very helpful. Thanks for the Good Service !



by:

Brakes worked great and ready to assembly. A faint odor for couple of hundred miles breaking in. Always worked well and stopped confidently even on the steepest of descents. 20% down grade going into Lake Tahoe for example. Highly recommend.



by:

20 Floe snowmobile trailer, Dexter axles, the replacements fit perfectly.
Installed and running in one night after work.



by:

We haven't had much experience with etrailer yet but so far the service reps, products, and ordering process has been great. We are impressed without how promptly our items were shipped. We signed up to be a dealer and were thrilled to learn that etrailer wanted to credit us the difference from our order because we ordered before becoming a dealer. Then we found out etrailer also refers other customers who need a part install to local dealers which is awesome. So far everything about this company has been wonderful. Thank you.



by:

Just what the doctor ordered. Items are easy to find on the website. Prices are decent. What makes etrailer stand out are their tutorials on the products as well as how to use them and excellent installation videos and tips. All this and a low price guarantee! You can't go wrong.



by:

My break shoes were shot this year (fell on the ground when I pulled the drums off) for almost the same price as my local dealer wanted for just shoes I got the entire assembly with magnetic puck and shoes!!!!!!! Thanks so much Etrailer!!!!!!

  • Replacement Brake Assemblies, Bearings, Seal and Hub for 2002 Coleman Fleetwood Pop Up
    Coleman/Fleetwood uses Dexter axles so I can help you pick out the parts you need for your 2,200 lb Dexter axle. The bearings you would need are # L44649 for the inner and outer and then for a seal # 10-9. For brake assemblies you would need part # 23-47 for the left and part # 23-48 for the right. I know you didn't mention it, but if you needed to hub drums you would need part # 8-173-16UC3.

  • Pros And Cons For Switching From Electric To Electric Over hydraulic Disc Brakes On Trailer
    In order to switch from your electric brakes to a disc brake system there are several things you will want to consider. It is true that the disc brakes will provide better braking for you, although converting can require an involved installation. Electric trailer braking systems provide fast response times and good control over the action of your trailer brakes, but they don't stop as hard as hydraulic brakes. Some of the things you need to consider if you decide to change the brake...

  • Difference Between an Idler Hub and a Hub/Drum
    The Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly you referenced, part # AKIHUB-440-2-1K is known as an idler hub. An idler is a hub that is no provisions for trailer brakes. It has no brake drum. Part # 8-276-5 is an example of a hub/ drum that has a brake drum that can be used with a brake assembly like part # 23-47. The # AKIHUB-440-2-1K would be an acceptable replacement for an idler hub with a 4-on-4 bolt pattern that uses # L44643 inner and outer wheel bearings.

  • 2003 Coleman Fleetwood Utah Replacement Brake Assemblies and Bearings
    From previous customers with your 2003 Coleman Fleetwood we've been able to determine that your trailer has 2,200 lb Dexter axles. The bearings you would need are # L44649 for the inner and outer and then for a seal # 10-9. For brake assemblies you would need part # 23-47 for the left and part # 23-48 for the right. These are manual adjust assemblies but there isn't a self adjusting set that fits your size. I know you didn't mention it, but if you needed to hub drums you would need part...

  • Can Trailer Hub and Drum # 8-257-5UC3-EZ be Used with 14 Inch Wheels on a 2K Flexride Torsion Axle
    You can use hub and drum assembly # 8-257-5UC3-EZ with a 14 inch wheel. However since there will be more force with the larger wheel when it is spinning you will not get the optimum braking performance. All the hubs that have the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern and fit 2,000 pound axles will all say 10 to 13 inch wheels but you can use a 14 inch. Just be aware that the braking performance will not be ideal. The brakes that are compatible with this hub and drum are # 23-47 for the left side and...

  • Parts Needed to Change Hydraulic Trailer Brakes Over to Electric Brakes on a 1997 Jayco Tent Trailer
    You will need two of the 7 inch electric brake assemblies, one right hand, # 23-48, and one left hand, # 23-47. You will also need an appropriate length of 10 gauge wire, item # 10-2-1, for running the wires to the trailer connector at the trailer coupler. Next, you will need a trailer connector to match the wiring on your vehicle, or the wiring you will need to install on your vehicle, to activate the electric brakes.

  • Can Brakes be Added to 2,000 lb Axle without Brake Flanges
    I would check first to see if you do have brake flanges before going forward buying parts because if you do that would make it pretty easy. Otherwise you could look into having flanges welded on as that's an option too. We have them with part # 4-34. You'll need to find a welder with the correct jigs for this job. If you can get me the brand, capacity, and axle style of what you have I can see if we have a lift for it. We have the parts needed to add brakes to a 2,000 lb axle as well....

  • Replacement 7 inch Brake Assemblies for 2,000 lb Axle
    We do not have access to the brand Reliable, but most likely you would want the part # 23-48 for the right hand side and part # 23-47 for the left side. These are 7 inch brake assemblies for a 2k axle and use a 4 bolt mounting flange that is the industry standard for brake assemblies.

    Most 7 inch hub drums aren't compatible with 14 inch wheels, but the Dexter # 8-257-5UC3-EZ is an exception because it will adequately support the wheel. This hub uses the L44649 inner and outer bearing which is compatible with the spindles on your Torflex # 9 axle beam. The bearings, races, grease seal, grease cap and lug nuts are included. The hub/drums are sold individually. You'll also need a left hand brake assembly, like # 23-47 and a right hand like # 23-48. The assemblies have...

  • Recommended Replacement Axle And Brakes For Popup Camper

  • Can a 2,000 Pound Trailer Axle be Fitted with Electric Brakes and 10 or 12 Inch Wheels
    You would need to step up to a 3500 pound set up to get an axle that comes with brake mounting flanges. You could have brake mounting flanges welded to a 2K axle if you wanted but it is a precision job that requires the proper equipment and someone who has performed this job before. So for example you could use axle # T20BTR-6048 with hub and drum assembly # 8-257-5UC3. then you would need brake mounting flange # 4-34 and brake assemblies # 23-47 and # 23-48.

The brake assemblies, # 23-48 right hand, and # 23-47 left hand, will mount to a 4 bolt flange that has bolt holes 2-7/8 inches apart on center. You will need to make sure your existing bearings and seal match the bearings and seal in the hub and drum you selected, # 8-257-5UC3-EZ, and that the wheel bolt pattern, 5 on 4-1/2 inches, matches also.

  • Will 10 Inch Trailer Brakes Fit In Place of 7 Inch Brakes
    Ten inch brakes will use a larger hub than 7 inch brakes. So you will not only have to change the brake assemblies but also the hubs and the wheels. If cost is not a factor then you can do all of this but it would be much easier to just replace the 7 inch brakes. If the brakes are not providing enough power there may be another issue to look at. Make sure the brakes are properly adjusted. To do this you will turn the adjustment wheel until you can hear a slight but constant drag of the...

  • Replacement Hub and Drum Recommendation for a Dexter 2k Axle
    Sounds like you have a 2,000 lb Dexter Axle like the part # T20BTR-6048 which take inner and outer bearings L44649 and would use the part # 8-257-5UC3-EZ for a hub/drum that has a 5 bolt pattern or part # 8-173-16UC3-EZ for a 4 bolt mounting flange. For brake assemblies you would want the # 23-48 for the right hand side and part # 23-47. Before you order any parts you would want to pull a hub from your trailer to verify that both bearing numbers are L44649.

  • Electric Brake Install 2000 Coleman Sedona
    Let's begin with the brake assemblies. You'll need the Dexter # 23-48 for the right side of the trailer, # 23-47 for the left. The brake assemblies have the mounting bolts integrated into the backing plate, but the necessary nuts and lock washers aren't included. We sell the nuts individually as part # 6-17 and the lock washer as part # 5-8. You'll need four of each per brake assembly.

  • Upgraded Axle and Suspension Replacement for Haulmark Trailer with Torsion Axles
    The closest thing that we have to torsion axles are the Timbren Axle-less Suspension Systems like part # ASR3500S05. I don't know exactly what is on your 1997 Haulmark Trailer as manufacturers typically don't keep that kind of information handy, but if you let me know what weight capacity your axle is I can make a recommendation. The kit # ASR3500S05 that I referenced is rated for 3,500 lbs and has the typical #84 spindle installed on it. The Timbren systems not only replace your axle...

  • Electric Trailer Brakes for a Floe Snowmobile Trailer with 2,200 Pound Axles
    The axle you have that can take brakes probably has a 4-bolt mounting pattern for the brakes. You could use Dexter brakes # 23-48 for the right and # 23-47 for the left. If the mounting flange doesn't take a 4-bolt assembly let me know. In addition to the brakes themselves you will also need wiring, maybe a different trailer connector depending on what the trailer has now (if the trailer has a 7-Way then you would not need to change connectors), and the vehicle will need to have a brake...

For part # 23-47 you will need 7 inch Hub Drums, like part # 8-173-16UC3 and mounting flanges, part # 4-34, that will need to be welded to your axles. This size brake and hub drum assemblies are for smaller trailers. You will pick your hub drum based on your wheel and axle size, then you will pick the brakes that fit that hub drum.

    What you could do is use an axleless system # A35RS545E which comes with everything except a brake controller. The only issue is that you would need to also replace the tires and wheels with something like # TA73RR since the kit has a 5 bolt pattern and your trailer has a 4 on 4 pattern. We don't have a straight axle with the proper spring hanger spacing for the trailer.
