The unique free-backing design, patented by Titan, lets your trailer move in reverse without actuating the brakes. When you begin backing up, the brake shoes are firm against the drum, as in a braking situation. As you continue in reverse, however, the shoes turn with the drum until the lining pressure is released and you are able to back up freely.
These brakes are designed to eliminate friction between the shoes and drum when you are driving in reverse. A trailer breakaway kit will not be effective should your trailer disconnect from your tow vehicle when backing up.

The brake assemblies were not individually boxed like the last time I bought these, but thrown in a box all together where they were free to bang and scrape against each other during shipment. This resulted it the anti-corrosion coating being scraped off in many places.
by: William07/09/2022
Awesome product, working very well on my trailer. Of course system is flushed with fresh water after each use.$
by: Terry: Aloha Auto Center04/24/2012
I own an auto repair shop and I buy parts all day. This product fit like it was meant to. I received them in a very timely manor. I will use etrailer for future parts again and have added them to my favorites bar. Thanks.
by: Todd 08/29/2022
The right part at the right price. Shipping was prompt and the brakes work again!
by: Paul 07/16/2021
These Titan Hydraulic 10 inch brake assemblies were direct replacements for my 30 year old Titan trailer brakes. As assemblies they simplified the order and installation process saving me time. Quality part, fast delivery and great service.

Here's a video I did of the brake installation on my trailer. I got the actuator from a buddy who had bought it years ago and never took it out of the box! The only comment I would have, and you can see from the video, is that the single axle brake line kit didn't do it. I had to buy a connector and another line. No big deal on my end, but it might be for others. Also, my trailer already had drums, just no brakes. I was able to get the drums turned okay.
by: Frank A.01/06/2012
I bought both side brake assemblies, a brake line kit, and an aluminum wheel/radial trailer tire combo. They came with free shipping and in great shape, in part because they were packaged so well. I still need some mounting bolts and nuts to install the brake assemblies, and the brake line kit is not long enough for my old 3500# axle trailer. In the morning I will run to NAPA, get the bolts, nuts, and brake line I need and install the brakes. I have a new hydraulic actuator/coupler a friend gave me, and that's already mounted. I hope to have pics tomorrow.
The aluminum wheel/tire combo is the 1st of 3 I need (single axle trailer plus a spare). I'm going from steel wheels with 14" tires to aluminum wheels with 15" radial trailer tires. This is a great upgrade for us, and the aluminum wheel that came today just looks fantastic. It will make the whole rig look better, as I have matching colors on the trailer and my classic tunnel hull speed boat, namely red and white.
I started buying stuff from etrailer last year when I was restoring an old travel trailer and have had great service all around. Prices are good and the people are friendly and knowledgeable. What more could I ask?
by: William06/17/2019
After 25 years of using my utility trailer, it is in need of new backing plates & brake assemblies. Your parts arrived in record time & the parts look to be perfect replacements for the road-weary rusty brake assemblies. The tail light lens also fit perfectly. Thank You for the quality products.
by: Gene Gillam04/05/2012
I have a tandem axle car carrier with surge brakes. I'm probably a typical owner and never purged the brake fluid which resulted in rust in the system and frozen wheel cylinders. Rather than just buy new wheel cylinders I bought the complete assembly (wheel cylinder, backing plate, and brakes) since to replace the wheel cylinder you have to remove the backing plate anyway. I managed to complete all four wheels, plus adjust and bleed, in about six hours. The supplied units fit perfectly. Thanks etrailer!
by: Joe C.01/19/2012
I replaced both left and right hand side drum brake assemblies on my Bass boat tandem trailer. It was so easy, four bolts and a brake line and I'm done. I can't believe I got new cylinder, springs, shoes, backing plate for $44 each. I'm a manufacting Engineer and I'm impressed. You guys rock.
by: Mike J07/15/2014
Seems like good quality brakes. Took a while to receive. They said it would ship in 24-48 hours but it took 3 - 4 days to ship. And two more days to receive.
I only wished that the brakes had come with bolts to attach. Now I have to some bolts that are rated for this set of brakes.
I love the fact that they are all assembled! Keeps me from screwing it up.
by: Don B.07/27/2015
I have used this product previously and found it to be of excellent quality it fit my application perfectly and works flawlessly .the service at e- trailer is also excellent

Exact match to my factory originals, excellent customer service and extremely knowledgeable on parts with excellent prices. Highly recommended etrailer.com
by: Heath05/13/2015
Price was great. Fit and finish quality. Much easier than installing wheel cylinders and cleaning brake shoes.
by: Joel W.05/23/2013
Delivered well before the promise date! Brakes were easy to install and everything etrailer said they would be. Not my first order from you guys and as always, you are easy to deal with and I will be back when I need more parts for my trailers
by: John L 08/03/2012
I purchased brakes and drum hubs. This is my second time getting many trailer parts and have had great results with everything I have gotten. I also ordered these items on a Sunday and had them at my door Wednesday with free shipping. I give etrailer two big thumbs up on product quality and processing.
by: Tony Jurek09/09/2019
product fit was spot on, installation was straightforward and the performance since installation, over 2500 miles of driving, has been flawless.
by: Emory S.03/10/2012
The backing plate and brakes were great and intalled just fine. I ordered two sets of inner and outer bearings and seals. I received four sets of outer bearings so I had to hunt down inner bearings and seal locally. That was disappointing!
by: Trailer Brakes10/14/2011
Item arrived on time. Packaged well. Best price by far. Saved over $100.00 compared to other vendors. Very good communication from ETrailer. ETrailer followed up and made sure I was satisfied. I will buy all of my trailer needs from them in the future.
by: DB Cooper08/18/2011
happy enough with the product, one brake assembly arrived with the shoes misaligned that I chocked up to the shipping gorillas....it was an easy fix and I am happy thus far with this product.
time (and road miles) will determine the overall quality and durability
by: Brian04/06/2011
Product arrived as described was easy to install and completed a restoration of my trailer. I was impressed with the speed of delivery and would certainly order again frm etrailer
Thank you
Bring on Spring!!!!
by: Russ H.03/30/2011
Great product for the price. Super fast shipping. Only complaint was that item was all scratched up when I recieved it so I had to touch it up with paint to make sure it didn't rust.
by: Mark09/27/2020
All the parts fit perfectly on my Shorelandr trailer
by: Brian B01/30/2012

- Troubleshooting Brake Bleeders that Leak Fluid Even When TightMost likely what is happening is that there is a flaw in the bleeder valve and is not seating properly which is allowing the fluid to seep past valve even when tightened. They shouldn't require much torque for them to seat enough to prevent leaking so it has to be related to the design of the valve.
view full answer... - Free-backing Titan Brake Assembly # T4423400 Recommendation for a Sailboat TrailerThe choice of free backing brakes or not comes down to a couple different factors. If the trailer has a lockout (electric or hydraulic) then free backing plates would be redundant as their would already be a system that would allow for reversing without the brakes being activated. If you have a coupler that does not have a reverse lockout feature then free backing plates would be the solution to allow for backing up without activating the brakes. If it were me I would choose a setup that...
view full answer... - Passenger Side Free Backing Brake Heating Up and Braking Problems on TrailerThere could be a couple of things going on here but you have done well to take a look at all the parts to make sure they are in good working order. First, it is important to note that even free backing brakes require initial adjustment. TITAN Surg-O-Matic trailer brakes incorporate a back up feature that makes it necessary to rotate the wheels in the direction of forward rotation only when making adjustments. The brake adjustment nut is located behind a slot at the bottom of the backing...
view full answer... - One Wheel on a Boat Trailer Locks Up and Trailer Actuator is Leaking Brake FluidIt sounds like you have a leak in the system either in a brake line or at the actual wheel cylinder. If this is the case, you may not have to replace the entire hub or brake assembly, just the part that is leaking. A leak can also draw air into the system and cause the brakes to lock. My theory is that it is the wheel cylinder on that one side. After you inspect the brakes and find the culprit, make sure that you bleed the braking system. There are vacuum type systems that you can use...
view full answer... - Mounting Bolt Hole Spacing on Titan Hydraulic Brake Assembly Part # T4423400The 4 inch bolt hole spacing is measured diagonally. This is a standard measurement for spacing on the mounting plates for the brake assemblies.
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Assembly Recommendation for a Dico 15638 AssemblyYour Dico brake assemblies are 10 inch by 2-1/4 inch so the part # T4423400 and # T4423500 would both work as replacements. There is quite a bit of overlap between Titan and Dico parts.
view full answer... - Can Free-Backing Trailer Brakes be Used on a Trailer with a Reverse Lock OutFree backing brake assemblies can be used on a trailer that has a reverse lockout. If it's a manual lockout they would allow you to back your trailer up at any given moment without having to get out and activate the lockout. As long as your hub/drums are 10 by 2-1/4 the part # T4423400 for the right hand side and part # T4423500 for the left hand side would be a great choice.

- Will Titan Hydraulic Drum Trailer Brake Assemblies Fit a 1999 Jayco Pop-Up CamperIf your 1999 Jayco trailer has 13 to 15 inch wheels and it has 10 inch by 2-1/4 inch hydraulic brakes that have a 4 on 4 mounting pattern and 3 inch diameter center hole for a 3,750 pound axle, then you will be able to use this brake assembly, # T4423400. This is the right hand side assembly. The left hand side is # T4423500. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view.
view full answer... - Titan Brake Assemblies for 3500 lb Axle with 4 Bolt FlangeThe part you were asking about has been discontinued but wouldn't work for your flange. Instead, you would bolt brake assemblies like the Titan Galphorite Free-Backing Hydraulic Trailer Brake Assembly Right Hand # T4423400 and the left hand version # T4423500 to a four bolt mounting flange. The # T1544600042 that you referenced will ride on to the spindle of your trailer and will spin with the wheel assembly. It will be held to the brake assemblies that will remain stationary and bolted...
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between the 10 x 2-1/4 inch Titan Free Backing Hydraulic Drum Trailer BrakesThe difference, other than cost, between the Titan Uni-Servo free backing Hydraulic 10 inch Trailer Brake Assemblies, # T4423400, and # T4071500, is that the # T4423400 assembly has Galphorite plating which delivers superior corrosion protection for boat trailers that are repeatedly exposed to water and sometimes salt water. Other than that these brake assemblies are constructed the same and will brake the same, the coated assembly will just last longer when used on a boat trailer.
view full answer... - Can Titan Free-Baking Trailer Drum Brakes Be Used with Brake Actuating Couplers with Reverse LockoutYou can use Titan Galphorite Free-Backing Hydraulic Trailer Brake Assembly, # T4423400, with a brake actuating coupler with reverse lockout provided the actuator is designed for use with drum brakes. You will be able to back up whether the reverse lockout is engaged or not because hydraulic pressure is contained by the wheel cylinder nullifying the lockout. Basically, what will happen is when you start backing up, the brakes will grab a little and then with continued backward motion they...
view full answer... - Can I Re-Use DICO-15638 Hubs with New Electric Brake Assemblies?Some hub/drum assemblies can accept either electric or hydraulic brakes and some can only accept one or the other. It has to do with the size or in your case how the drums are cast. Some drums have uneven castings and you need a smooth inside of your drum with electric brakes so the magnets can make full contact and engage the brakes. The Titan Galphorite Free-Backing Hydraulic Trailer Brake Assembly - 10" - Right Hand item # T4423400 are 10" wide x 2-1/4" thick. The left handed ones...
view full answer... - How To Choose the Correct Brake Assembly For Older Boat TrailerI am happy to help you replace the brake assemblies on your boat trailer, however brake assemblies are not trailer specific. To determine the brake assemblies that will fit your trailer, you would need to know your axle's weight capacity, the size of your wheels, your mounting flange bolt pattern and the inside diameter and depth of your hub. This particular Left Hand Titan Galphorite Free-Backing Hydraulic Trailer Brake Assembly part # T4423500 fits a 13", 14" or 15" wheel, has a 4 on...
view full answer... - Are All 4 Bolt Trailer Brake Mounting Flanges the Same Bolt PatternYes, the 4 bolt mounting pattern that the Titan Galphorite Free-Backing Hydraulic Trailer Brake Assembly # T4423400 and the Demco Hydraulic Drum Brake Assembly # 40715 have is the same 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern. Basically all 4 bolt brake mounting flanges are the exact same 4 on 4 inch pattern.

- Left and Right Hand Side Dexter 3,500 lb Galphorite Hydraulic Titan Brake Assembly RecommendationFor the matching set you would want the part # T4423500 for the left hand side and part # T4423400 for the right hand side. The part number # T4445300 is being phased out, but the two I mentioned are the replacements for it. I attached a review video for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Free Backing Hydraulic Trailer Brakes Not Allow Trailer To Back UpBasically, a free backing brake assembly like # T4423400, will have one shoe that is shorter than the other and the bracket will be a different shape. On a regular assembly, the shoes will by mirror images of each other. Also, on a free backing assembly, you would be able to back up. Also if the actuator has a reverse lockout on it, make sure it is engaged so you can back up. There are 2 types of lockout: manual and electric. A manual lockout will have a lever on the coupler that you have...
view full answer... - Replacing Hydraulic Brakes With Electric Drum Brakes On TrailerI have attached a link to a helpful article that explains what is needed to add electric drum brakes to a trailer. Your Dico brake assemblies are 10 inch by 2-1/4 inch so the part # T4423400 and # T4423500 would both work as replacements. The best way to make sure you get the right components is to pull the hub and get the bearings numbers from the side of the bearings as shown in the attached photo. If you cannot find the numbers on the bearings, I recommend using a digital caliper...
view full answer... - Dexter 10 x 2-1/4 Inch Brake Assembly with Different Bolt Hole SpacingA 10 x 2-1/4 inch brake assembly would typically be found on a 3500 lb axle, and would use a 4 bolt mounting flange whose holes are 2-7/8 inches apart on center. However, there was an exception. Before May of 2009, Dexter manufactured a 4400 lb capacity axle that used mounting flanges that had holes that were 2-13/16 inches on center. An example of those would be the # 23-454-455 Dexter Brake assemblies. That axle was kind of an oddity, I believe Dexter built that as a proprietary item...
view full answer... - Recommendation for Corrosion Resistant 10 x 2-1/4 Hydraulic Trailer Brake AssembliesThe hydraulic drum brakes that are good for marine applications are going to be the galvanized models like # 40716 as an example. Others, like the Galphorite coated assemblies, like # T4423400, also offer excellent corrosion resistance. Any assembly that does not have a special coating and/or is not galvanized then that would indicated it is powder coated steel, like # 23-312, and is not ideal for marine applications. If you are looking for 10 x 2-1/4 assemblies for marine applications,...

The one weld-on 6K drum brake actuator we offer is the Titan Multi-fit A-Frame Actuator # T2492800. This accepts 1-7/8-inch, 2-inch and 50mm hitch balls and includes a breakaway kit. It will fit 50-degree a-frame trailers. Note that this coupler does not include a reverse lockout so it best paired with free-backing brakes like # T4423400 and # T4423500. All 6K drum brake actuators for 2-inch balls are shown on the linked...

- Converting From Hydraulic Drum Brakes to Electric BrakesI could not find any type of photo of a Dico 15638 drum, but my understanding is they are 10" diameter x 2-1/4" wide, but if there is any potential interference with the magnet you would need to replace your hubs. If you would like to send a photo so I can take a look, please do. To add electric brakes to a 3,500 lb axle (if that is what you have) you will also need a 4-bolt Brake Mounting Flange # 4-35, a Breakaway Kit such as # 20400, wiring for your trailer as well as a brake controller...
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Assembly Recommendation for 1997 MasterCraft 20 ft BoatSince your trailer has 10 inch by 2-1/4 inch brake assemblies currently all of the assemblies you mentioned are going to work. I would go with the sefl-adjusting part numbers # DMSB24428M and # DMSB24429M though since you mentioned you were interested in that option. The matching Titan assemblies are part # T4423500 for the left hand side and part # T4423400 for the right hand side. Based on the seal dimensions you listed the part # 168233 is the correct replacement. We don't carry...

If there are wires You would want to use # 23-47 for the left side and # 23-48 for the right side. Mounting hardware is included with the assemblies You might also consider replacing your brake drums as well. Take a good look at the armature surface (the surface the brake magnet rides against) and...

We have two options depending on whether or not you need brakes. For just the hub without brakes you will want the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased item # AKIHUB-545-35-K. If you need electric brakes the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - 10" - Right Hand item # 23-27 and Left Hand item # 23-26 will be a great choice. If...
