Today we're going to take a look at the replacement trailer brake magnet kit for 10 inch brake assembly on 3,500 pound axles. This part includes everything shown here on the table, includes the magnet itself, the spring, and then the clip for attaching the magnet to the brake assembly. Now this magnet kit will allow you to replace the worn out magnet on your 10 inch trailer brakes. You're just replacing the magnet, not the whole assembly. It will save you time and money. This magnet is designed to work with 10 inch brake assemblies on 3,500 pound axles.
If you notice the design of the magnet itself is a an oval design. They do that because it increases the efficiency of the magnet and it'll help extend the life of the magnet. Just to give you an idea of the size of the magnet itself, put a rule on it. The width from edge to edge right at about 3 and 1/8 inches. The height from top to bottom is about 2 inches. The thickness of it is right about 1 inch. Also if you notice the wires that come out of the magnet, you'll notice there's a section of protective sleeve on it.
The reason they do that is because when this is installed on your brake assembly, these wires will run out through the backing plate on your brake assembly. You don't want the wires rubbing up against the backing plate, causing any problems. They put this nice protective sleeve on here to protect any damage to the wires. If you notice, there's 2 green wires on this. They're electric bakes, you do have to connect 1 to the brake feed to supply power to the magnet and then 1 to a ground. You can use either wire for either function.
It doesn't matter which one is which. They're both a green wire. That should do it for the review on the replacement trailer brake magnet kit for 10 inch brake assembly on 3,500 pound axles.

Replaced the failed coils on my camper and got functional brakes again. What more can I say but that they do the job. Make sure the wires clear all moving parts when installing.

Great information on your website to help with determining the right part for your trailer. The parts shipped quickly and had them installed on my trailer in no time. The parts are an exact match for my 2017 Grand Design trailer. They work perfectly and I will be using etrailer when I need to replace or upgrade my brakes in the future.

The hub and magnet developed a deep groove on the original equipment so needed a replacement. Since the brakes were still good all around, I went this route instead of a full brake assembly replacement. Installed ok.

I've purchased lots of small items from etrailer for many years. I always get the parts quicker than I get the opportunity to work on something. The fact that I can find the parts, with good descriptions, and photos, and compare items late in the evening, and order them at my convenience is a giant plus for me. The icing on the cake is their very competitive prices. Bought parts for electric brakes on an equipment trailer I'm rebuilding this time.

The magnet kit was exactly what I needed (along with a separate order for the brake shoes and a springs kit). I had searched all over my local area, even going to several RV and Trailer parts stores, but they couldn't get me the parts I needed. With just a little searching on etrailer.com, I got everything I needed, including new cotter pins! I have already completed one wheel, completely replacing all the brake parts on my 1995 Wilderness Travel Trailer, and all the parts fit perfect - just like new. The parts came with instructions and warnings, and with the springs kits, I had everything I needed to get just-like-new brakes. etrailer.com made it very easy! But why replace the shoes and parts rather than buy a whole new brake assembly? On some trailers, like mine, the brake assembly is welded to the axle, and would require completely new axles (at $2200) to replace the brake assembly. So the only option, in some cases, is to replace the shoes and other hardware. One point of warning - the recommendation that comes with the parts is that you replace ALL MAGNETS and ALL SHOES on ALL WHEELS at the same time, otherwise you risk uneven braking. I didn't know this when I made my first order, so I had to order additional parts. But hey, if you are going to all the trouble to replaces the shoes and magnets and re-grease the bearings on one wheel, you might as well do all four right?

Replaced original brake magnets last year with these because the original one were causing an overload error code. These have performed perfectly. These were great for the price and working with retailer is always a pleasure.

All parts arrived quickly and fit perfect! I bought a used car trailer few months ago and brakes quit working. Pulled drums and needed new magnets, it was missing spring on one side, prior owner must have got some bad service. E-Trialer hooked me up with all the parts, also ordered hub seals and grease and repacked bearings. Thank you !!!

This product is still working well after a year of desert living. We use the trailer weekly, and the brakes still work just fine, even with all the dust, sand, and in rainy season, mud. We do clean the trailer regularly at a car wash to prevent dirt build up.

I ordered the 10" drum trailer brake replacement magnets and they not only fit and worked perfectly, but arrived before I had expected. etrailer has always stocked everything I've needed and at a great price. Their customer service and 'after sale follow-up' is the best I've ever experienced. A great company to deal with. Jon B.

The replacement brake magnet was fine, that just did not turn out to be the problem. A complete brake assembly replacement and drums turned was the fix. Parts also from etrailer, and it works great.

Ordered a week ago and the product arrived without the spring or clip, so basically not useable for me until I get the replacement, which I'm now told will be another 4 days; I should have purchased locally, as I'll still be without brakes for going on 2 weeks.

Braking is weak since replacing hub/drum and magnets. Called tech help but contributed nothing that helped.
Comments
There are several things to check to ensure your trailer brakes are working at their optimum effectiveness. 1 With the brake controller gain turned all the way up and the manual brake switch on the controller activated, ideally youll want to see 10-1/2 volts at each brake magnet, 10 volts at the absolute minimum. 2 Ensure that the brakes are properly adjusted. If they are adjusted properly, you should feel a very slight lining drag when you spin the wheel by hand. 3 When new brakes and drums are installed, the brakes should be burnished in. This involves accelerating up to about 40 mph, then using the manual brake switch to slow the vehicle/trailer down to 20 mph. Once at 20 mph, release the manual override and travel about a mile to allow enough time for brakes to cool and repeat the process again. You will need to repeat this process 20 to 30 times. This allows the magnet surface and the armature surface of the brake drum to completely conform to each other. This also breaks in the surface of the brake shoes and will prevent them from glazing in the future.

- How Many Magnets Are Included with the Replacement Magnet Kit for 10" Electric BrakesThe Replacement Magnet Kit for 10" Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies part # AKBRKR-M10 only comes with one magnet. Therefore, you will need to order a quantity of two per axle. However, it looks like you have a round magnet not an oval one like the above. Therefore, in order to replace just the magnet we have part # BP01-068 for 7" x 1-1/4" and 10" x 1-1/2" braking assemblies. In regards to the wear on the inside face of your drum, this is not really something that can be resurfaced...

- How to Disconnect Electric Drum Brake from 5th Wheel Trailer Brake CircuitAn electric drum brake's magnet wires are non-polarized so to disconnect a bad brake assembly from the 5th wheel's brake circuit you can cut either one of the wires leading from the magnet. Once you get the brake repaired you can reconnect the wiring using butt connectors # DW05745-5 and dielectric grease # 11755 to block moisture from entering the connectors. I also linked two articles concerning electric drum brakes that might be helpful to you, as well as our main page that shows...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Malfunctioning Trailer Brake MagnetsYou'll need to do a full troubleshoot. With the trailer unplugged, use a voltmeter on the brake pin on the trailer connector while the manual brake switch is actuated. If you have a time delayed controller, you should also get voltage on that pin with the brake pedal pressed. Next, plug the trailer in, and check the voltage on the output circuit as close to the magnets as you can get. With the gain on the controller turned all the way up, you should get around 12 volts at the magnet when...
view full answer... - Can Trailer Brake Assembly Magnets be Grounded to Trailer FrameYou should be able to ground the brake magnets to the frame of the trailer and have them work fine. Or you can try running a jumper wire back from the ground wire of the magnet back to the main ground of the trailer frame. If you are getting 12 volts into the magnets but they aren't working the problem is that the ground wire isn't properly grounding.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes That Do Not ActivateThe first and easiest part to troubleshoot will be the wiring. I would start by using a circuit tester like part # 40376 on the brake output pin on the trailer connector while activating the manual override on the brake controller to see if you are getting any output at the connector. If you are getting power at the connector then I recommend testing the wires just before the brake assembly to ensure that the power is reaching the brakes. If there is no power then there may be a wiring...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Wiring on a TrailerThe two wires coming from your brake assemblies on your hub are for the brake magnet. One wire is ground and one wire is for power from the brake controller. It doesn't matter which wire goes to what in this situation.

- Noise from Newly Installed Electric Brake Magnets and Drums on Travel TrailerThank you for your recent purchase from etrailer of brake magnets and hub/drum assemblies. New components will often result in a different sound than what we are accustomed to but there are a few things you can check. If you are referring to any humming type of sound from the magnets this is normal. If the brakes otherwise operate properly and you are hearing scraping sounds this may simply be due to the new parts needing either some break-in or adjustment. If the brakes are making...
view full answer... - How to Test Brake Magnet Amperage on a Trailer with 4 BrakesThere are a few different tests that can be done to check the brake magnets individually and as a whole on your trailer. I would first recommend checking the magnets for wear before going on to test for proper amperage. If the magnets show abnormal wear or if you can see the windings beginning to show through the friction surface of the magnet then they will need to be replaced. Testing the magnets as a whole will involve using a multimeter, that can read up to 20 amps, to test the amperage...

- Replacement Magnet Needed for 10" Brakes on a 1986 Holiday Rambler Alumalite TrailerWe have 2 different options for a replacement magnet for 10" brakes. I recommend getting the one that has the closest dimensions to what you currently have but either one should be just fine: Replacement Magnet Kit - # AKBRKR-M10 (2" long x 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall) Replacement Magnet Kit # BP01-110 (3-1/2" long x 2-1/8" wide x 7/8" tall)
view full answer... - Are Electric Drum Brakes Safe to Submerge and Use on Boat TrailerIt's no secret that water and electricity do not do well together. That being said, improvements in wiring insulation and heat shrink connectors have made it more and more common for boat trailer manufacturers to use electric brake assemblies instead of the traditional disc or drum hydraulic brakes, which are less cost effective. While electric brake assemblies and the components inside of them, like the # AKBRKR-M10 magnets are not waterproof, they can handle being submerged under water...
view full answer... - How to Determine What Size Brake Assemblies You HaveThe easiest way to determine exactly what brake assembly you have is to take the hub and drub off of your axle an measure the diameter of the inside of the drum and then measure the depth. This will tell you what size brake assemblies you need. I attached a picture that shows these two dimensions. Between the two sizes you listed I would imagine that you have the 10 inch by 2-1/4 size since we do not carry any 10 inch by 1-1/2 inch assemblies.

- Will Rust Buildup Prevent Brake Magnets from Functioning in Electric Trailer Brake AssembliesExcessive rust would definitely weaken the pull of the magnet, so I would recommended replacing the magnets on your trailer if they are severely corroded. If you have power going into the magnet and it is not engaging at all, this again would be an indicator that the magnet needs to be replaced. I would recommend cleaning your hub drum also when you are checking the magnets--some light sandpaper would work well. I have provided a link below to the trailer magnets we currently...

- I Rewired My Trailer and the Brakes Do Not WorkPoor or intermittent brake performance can be a result of a few different issues. Poor ground connections, corrosion build up and shorts are the most common culprits. If you are certain that all of your grounds are good, then I would look at the trailer connectors for white or green corrosion build up and clean or replace as necessary. I would also look at the electric brake power wire for any pinched, frayed, or damaged sections that could be causing a short. We had a similar issue...

- How to Wire Electric Trailer Brake Magnets to 12 Volt Brake Output and GroundNo, it does not matter which wire from the magnet is attached to power or ground. Just make sure one wire is properly grounded and the other wire is attached to the electric brake output circuit from the trailer connector. I have linked a video that details replacement and wiring of a trailer brake magnet that should be helpful.
view full answer... - Electric Trailer Brakes on a Jayco Trailer Lock Up FrequentlyMost trailer brake magnets for 10 and 12 inch brake assemblies should draw 3.2 to 4.0 amps at 12 to 13 volts. On a 7 inch assembly it would be 3.0 to 3.2 amps. Since the magnets you have are drawing up to 5.0 amps there is something not quite right with the magnets and they will likely need to be replaced. I have included a link to our help article that explains how to test brake magnets and a link to the magnets we carry.
view full answer... - Are Electric Trailer Drum Brakes PolarizedYou asked a good question. No, electric drum brake magnets are non-polarized, meaning that either of the two leads can be used for grounding to the trailer frame or for connection to the trailer brake controller circuit. This is why brake assemblies and replacement magnets have the same wire color for both leads. You'll want to use 10-gauge wiring for connecting the brake assemblies to the trailer's brake circuit. We offer part # 10-1-1 which is sold by the foot.
view full answer... - Recommended Brake Magnet Sets that are Compatible with 10 x 2-1/4 Inch Brake HubsThe brake magnet that will work with your ALKO 10 x 2-1/4 inch brake hubs, that I recommend is the # AKBRKR-M10. Included with this brake magnet is the retaining clip and spring. The way the brake magnet works is when power is fed to this magnet it's magnetized and will come out and stick to the inner surface of the hub and drum assembly, which will in turn pull the brake arm. Self adjusting will have additional components that keep proper tension on the shoes so you don't have to manually...
view full answer... - Which Wire On the Trailer Brakes is Power And Which One is GroundYes one of the wires will be used for the ground connection. When connecting the wires from the trailer brakes it does not matter which wire you use for the brake feed or ground, the magnet works either way. Just be sure that the wires are clear of any moving parts and that the brake feed is attached to one of the wires and that the other is attached to the trailer frame for a good ground.

- Should There Be Power on the Ground Wire for a Brake Magnet There should only be power entering the brake magnets, not leaving them through the ground wire. I would first start off by regrounding each brake magnets to a new bare metal surface separately of one another and as close to the brake assembly as possible. Once the above has been completed and the problem still persist then it may be time to replace either the magnets or the entire braking assembly. In order to offer replacement brake magnets I would need to know the brand of brakes...

view full answer... - Could Bad Brake Magnets Be Causing Heat Buildup In My Trailer HubsIt's possible that the heat buildup is being created by a worn out magnet on your brakes dragging on the drum surface; if you've inspected and greased the bearings and it's still happening this seems to be the most likely culprit. Turning the drums could be one way to solve this, but you could also change the brake magnets. You may want to test them out and inspect them; I've linked a helpful video and article we did on testing brake magnets if you're not familiar with the process. If...
view full answer... - What is Difference Between Trailer Brake Assemblies KB10E-06 and KB12E-06The KB10E-06 # AKBRKR-M10 and the KB12E-06 # AKBRKR-M12 are similar magnet designs but they are intended for different applications/sizes of brake assemblies. The # AKBRKR-M12 is for 12 inch assemblies and the # AKBRKR-M10 is for 10. The temptation is to use the bigger magnet on the lower rated assemblies but doing so does not give you more powerful brakes, it actually will just make for harder to adjust brakes as it the magnet will be too sensitive.
