Video Transcript for In-Depth Review of the Brake Adjustment Spoon for Drum Brakes

Today, we're going to take a look at the Performance Tools universal offset brake adjustment spoon. This tool is for adjusting drum brakes, has the angles blades, one on each end for confined areas. This will adjust the star adjuster and the screw adjuster type brakes very quickly and easily. It's made of a drop forged steel and has a chrome plating to it to help resist corrosion. I just want to try to show you what it's used for. Here's a typical drum brake that has the star adjuster right at the bottom, so on the very back you will access to adjust that through the access hole right here. This tool is made to be able to go through that access hole and reach that adjustment gear and adjust your brakes.

Depending on how much clearance you have, you might have to use the 90 degree angle. It's part of this smaller angle one. That should do it for the review on the Performance Tools universal offset brake adjustment spoon.

The brakes are ok except 1 of them fell apart inside. I had to open it up and remove the debri as it was making all kinds of raquet and i thought it was going to seize up. But no big deal i have 3 still working . Thanks Russ

Thanks for the follow up Russ, depending on which parts fell apart we do have some replacement items available for example the replacement shoe lining kit is available as part # AKBRKR-S-10, the replacement magnet is available as part # AKBRKR-M10, and we have 2 replacement spring options, part # AKBRKR-SP, and part # AKBRKR-AS-1012


by:

Excellent service and delivery as always thank you



by:

My brakes were not working right on my trailer. So I bought new trailer brake kits from etrailer.The kits came fast and I installed them The only think I did not like is the wires from the magnets on the brakes are very thin wire. I wish they would have used thicker wire with a heavier coating.



by:

A must have for drum brakes! Get one!



by:

This is a MUST for adjusting trailer drum brakes. Makes it so much easier to reach in and set the brakes. Don't even have to remove the wheel to do it! The drums I have are Item #AKEBRK-6



by:

I was extremely surprised with the positive response with their customer service, error on my part ordering the wrong part. Extremely quick delivery exchange (2days) living on the Canadian West Coast.
The brakes are doing their job great, easy installation using etrailer tutorial videos. Great company will use again.



by:

I have two trailers on which I adjust the brakes about once a year, and I find it worthwhile to spend a little bit on this tool. It works better than a screwdriver, but crusty brakes will fight you when adjusting through the backing plate regardless of the tool you use.



by:

I was initially concerned about finding the right parts as the trailer was fairly old. etrailer had just what I needed. The website is so elegant. I was able to find the right parts quickly and with comparative options to make a final selection. The how-to videos are great. This made installation a little more comfortable. Especially when you do not perform this type of work every day. The parts were of high quality and are working as expected. I highly recommend etrailer for any of your trailer needs.



by:

Great tool. Works as promised and much better than trying to use screwdriver that doesn’t fit properly. Perfect brake adjusting tool.



by:

If you don't have one of these and have drum trailer brakes you need this.



by:

Brake assemblies were just the ticket to getting my cargo trailer brakes back to new working order. Shipping was great and fast. I needed them quick, as my old brakes had worn out and broke up. This caused damage to the internal works. A super way to replace you brakes and worn out pieces. I would urge anyone with internal brake problems to give these a try!!



by:

I'm overhauling a 20 year old boat trailer and etrailer.com was the ONE and ONLY site on the internet that had both the necessary parts for this old trailer, but also instructional videos and hints on what to order and how to complete the job with a minimum amount of mistakes. This particular order (2 hyd. brake assemblies, hardware and brake tool) qualified for free shipping, but I didn't expect the above average delivery time also (2 days). I'm not finished with this project, but am sure I'll be doing more business with etrailer. Thanks for the great website and exceptional service.



by:

So Disappointed!! This is a review of my order experience, not the product. I needed to replace the brake assemblies on my camper before we could go on vacation. I call to see how long it would take to receive and was told 2 days. I placed the order and received as told. I was about to be impressed until I opened the box. They not only sent the wrong brand, but also the wrong size. I called customer service and had to wait 45 minutes for someone answer. She agreed it was their mistake. I told her I only had two more days to get them on and still go on vacation. I asked for next day delivery. She was able to do that, but said it would ship that day and go 2nd day. The next day, the order had not shipped and the tracking number I was given doesn't even register on UPS. I don't when or if I will receive the correct product. Very disappointed that they would not step up and make it right.



by:

Truly makes installing the brake controller a snap... two snaps actually.



by:

The brake assemblies I received seem to be just fine. They were a good fit on my trailer. Haven't completed the job yet to try the brakes out, but they look great. All my other parts were correct and very well packaged. I really appreciate the great customer service. These guys seem to really care.



by:

Sure beats using a large flat blade screwdriver. Should have bought one of these years ago

Worth the price! The brakes are difficult enough to set and adjust, this tool works good.



by:

helped on adjustments.



by:

Everything arrived but I was surprised that small parts weren't lost because one cardboard box (brake drum) had split open and the inner bag (lug nuts, etc) was ripped.. I would encourage the packers to make sure packages are sturdy enough for the trip.



by:

This order along with various orders on the past have been handled excellently, pricing is good and delivery is efficient.



by:

Just the tool I needed.



by:

Great quality product



by:

Delivered earlier than expected and exactly what was ordered. I've been buying for year from etrailer and it's always been top notch service.



by:

The only reason I do not give you 5 stars is because your web site. When internet ordering, it should instantly state when a part is out of stock. Even nicer would be expected restocking dates. The parts received were exactly what I ordered for my electric brake conversion from surge brakes at far less expense than reparing the internally rusted surge brake system. There was a plethora of information on your web site to assist me in ordering the correct parts for the conversion. Plus there were videos to see how to complete the conversion and how parts were installed and adjusted. Customer service was excellent.



by:

Brake back plates, shoes, seals, etc. were exact fit and very rapid change out in just a few minutes. Connections for brake magnets and of course cleaning took the most time. Adjusted brakes to Dexter instructions and worked perfect.

  • How to Determine if 2,000 lb Electric Trailer Brakes Will Fit
    I can help you out here, and there are a couple of things you'll need to know to determine the fit of 2,000 lb electric trailer brakes. First, you'll need to make sure you have the correct brake mounting flange on your axle, one that has hole spacing 2-7/8" on center. If you don't, you can have one welded on with part # 4-34. The other thing you need to have is a hub with a 7" inner diameter for the brakes to fit in. I made a diagram for you below which may help, and that's all you need...

  • 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 Brakes, Hub and Drum Assembly with L44649 Inner and Outer Bearings on 2000lbs Axle
    I have a solution for you, but the # AKUBRK-35-D are 10" brakes and will be too large for the hub/drum assemblies that fit on your axle. Instead you'll want to use the Dexter # 23-398-399 which are a 7" brake assembly that can be used with wheels between 10" and 13" diameter. It sounds like you also need new hubs, so you can use the etrailer Axle Tech # AKHD-545-2-2K which are a 2000-lb capacity and have # L44649 inner and outer bearings to match your specifications. This hub and drum assembly...

  • Can 10" Brake Assemblies Be Swapped Out With 12" Brake Assemblies
    Unfortunately 12" brake assemblies have a different mounting pattern than 10" assemblies # AKEBRK-35-SA so the brake flange on your axle likely wouldn't have multiple holes to accommodate this change. You would also have to replace the hubs as well, which could lead to further fitment issues. If you're getting weak braking power then I there's a few things to check to try and alleviate this issue. Use the manual override on the brake controller and test the voltage at the brake magnet...

  • Brake Controller Fully Engages Brakes on Trailer Jerking Truck Back
    It sounds like your brake controller gain is set to high and needs to be turned down. Be sure to check your owners manual on how to turn the gain down. If this does not help or you have a proportional brake controller be sure that it is mounted correctly as they sometimes are required to be mounted at a certain angle in relationship to the vehicle. Lastly the brakes on the trailer may be out of adjustment. You can use a Brake Adjustment Tool # W80630 to adjust them. See the linked article...

  • How to Adjust Electric Drum Trailer Brakes and What Tool Should be Used
    If the trailer brakes seem weak and they are newly installed then you will need to adjust the brakes to push the shoes out a little further for optimum braking. 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. I also recommend brake adjustment tool # W80630 which will make it easier to adjust the brakes than using a flat blade screwdriver.

  • How to Adjust 12" x 2" Drum Brakes
    To initially adjust 12" x 2" brakes like part # AKEBRK-7-SA you'll need a brake adjustment tool # W80630. At the back of the assembly there are 2 rubber plugs that you remove and then use the tool to adjust the strength. If you have self-adjusting brakes like the part mentioned above then you should have to do this at the start of the life of the brakes but if you have regular brakes without the self-adjusting feature then you'll have to do this every time the brakes start to lose their...

  • Replacement Boat Trailer Brakes Rated for 3,500 lbs
    Thank you for that info and I definitely recommend replacing your boat trailer's brakes and we have exactly what you need. Based on the Dexter 8-247 number you gave we know you have a 3,500 lb Dexter 10" Hub and Drum Assembly such as part # 84546UC3. For a hub and drum that size the best option is the Hydraulic Trailer Brake - Dacromet because they are designed for marine applications with their corrosion-resistant dacromet coating and mount to a 4-bolt mounting flange such as # 4-35....

  • How are Electric Trailer Brakes Manually Adjusted
    On electric drum brakes there is a star wheel at the bottoms of the assemblies that you can turn using a flat head screw driver or brake adjusting tool # W80630. Turning the wheel one way will bring the shoes closer in and turning it the other way pushes the shoes out more. You will adjust the brakes using that wheel until there is a slight but constant drag of the shoe pads on the drum. I have included a link to a video and at about the 4:39 mark our installer begins adjusting the brakes.

  • Troubleshooting Electric Manual Trailer Brake That Matches But Hums Without Actuating
    It sounds like you may need to adjust your brakes to get them to fully engage. I recommend using a Brake Adjustment Spoon like Item # W80630. Remove the plug at the bottom of the backing plate. After removing the plug, you should see a star gear which is used to adjust the brake. Use a flat-head screwdriver or Item # W80630 to turn the star gear until it becomes difficult to turn the hub and drum. Rotate the wheel up which will press the brake shoe against the drum. When the drum...

  • Recommended Trailer Brake and Drum Assemblies for UFP Replacements
    For your brake assemblies I recommend the Demco Hydraulic Brake Kit - Free Backing - Galvanized - 10" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 3.5K # 40716-15. These assemblies are galvanized to resist corrosion and will not require a reverse lockout for backing your boat trailer. You will also want the Mounting Bolts and Hardware for 10" Brake Assemblies # BRKH10A and the Brake Adjustment Spoon for Drum Brakes # W80630. For the hubs I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb Axles...

  • Recommended Replacement Drum Brakes for Boat Trailer with 3500-lbs Axles
    I recommend using the Hydraulic Brake Kit - Uni-Servo - Free Backing - Dacromet - 10" - Left/Right Hand - 3,500 lbs # AKFBBRK-35-D, which will work with your current setup and are perfect because the Dacromet plating is designed to withstand exposure to water; so they're ideal for boat trailers. These brakes are free backing, so they'll allow your trailer to backup regardless of whether or not you've got a lockout feature on your actuator, and they'll work with a breakaway kit. If you've...

    Since the bolt hole pattern is square with the bolt holes equidistant, the Hydraulic Brake Kit - Uni-Servo - Free Backing - Dacromet - 10" - Left/Right Hand - 3,500 lbs # AKFBBRK-35-D can be mounted so that the hydraulic connector is on the side if you like as the flange won't interfere. In regards to the distance from hub face to flange with the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 4-1/2 - Galvanized # 8-247-50UC3 and Brake Kit # AKFBBRK-35-D, without having...

    Converting from electric brakes to electric over hydraulic brakes will give you the most effective braking setup available. You are going to need a number of different parts, and the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Kit # HBA-10-252-82 will give you an electric-hydraulic brake actuator, a brake line kit, and breakaway kit. Because you have a triple axle trailer, you are going to need an additional hydraulic line kit # 9579-01. If you are interested in a new brake controller, the...

  • What Grease Should Be Used With The Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # e43SR?
    For the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes # e43SR you do not need to grease the spindle before applying the hub. It is important to fill the hub with Grease # L11390 to ensure the bearings always have grease. You need to use a lithium complex grease but it will not matter if they are different colors as long as they have the same base formula. The brakes do require manual adjustment for initial setting and also as the brakes wear. The adjusters are behind the plastic covers in the backing...

That is for one axle, and you can order them as a unit with the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12-1/4" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 7,200 lbs # 23-428-429.

These braking assemblies measure 12" x 2", bolts onto a 5 bolt mounting flange, will work with wheel sizes from 14-1/2" to 16-1/2", and has maximum axle ratings of 5,200 lbs, 6,000 lbs, and 7,000 lbs. You're also going to need the mounting hardware # BRKH12, and the adjustment spoon # W80630. Also, for your grease seal 22333 KBN, you can use the Grease Seal # GS-2250DL.

    If you have removed the tang washer and castle nut from the spindle on your tow dolly and the hub still will not come off the brake pads you can try adjusting the brakes to reduce the pad pressure. They could be gripping the inside drum surface enough to make hub removal difficult.

    It looks like your adjustment star wheel is fully retracted to the point it might be too tight to adjust with a brake spoon like # W80630. With the hub off see if you can get the star wheel to break free so that it can start to adjust out. Maybe try grabbing the star wheel with a set of channel locks to really get decent leverage on it. You should be able to see the inner threads like in the picture I attached.

    For your 12x2 electric brake assemblies, I recommend the Dexter Electric Brake Kit for 4 Bolt or 5 Bolt Flange - 12" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies # 23-105-106-09. These assemblies will fit your 4 bolt flange and will work well on your trailer. The mounting nuts are included but the bolts are not. If you need the bolts and lockwashers, I recommend # 7-5 and # 38LW. You may also want the brake adjustment tool # W80630 to install and maintain your brakes.

If you are needing to loosen them up then you will use your brake adjustment spoon or a flat screwdriver to press down on the silver tab (yellow arrow) that keeps the wheel (green arrow) in place. With that pressed down use another spoon or screwdriver and rotate...
