• Brake Mounting Flange Recommendation for Dexter 3,500 lb Axle
  Looks like you have a 3,500 lb Dexter axle without brake flanges. The correct brake flanges for that style of axle is the part # 4-35. Welding a mounting flange, possible item # 4-35, is a very precise installation. The flanges need to be installed square and concentric to the hub and drum assembly and each other. If the flange is installed incorrectly rapid brake lining wear, improper braking, trailer dog legging, bearing failure, rapid tire wear and, worst of all, weakening of the axle...

• How to Find the Correct Size Brake Assemblies to Fit the Axle
  There a few things that you can do to figure out what the correct electric brake assembly you will need for your application. First, will be to figure out your axle weight capacity. This can sometimes be found on axles themselves or you can measure the axle diameter. This number can usually tell you what your axle capacity is on your axle or axles. Typical Axle Diameters Based on Axle Capacity - 1,000-lb - 2,000-lb Axles: 1-1/2 inch - 1-3/4 inch diameter - 3,500-lb Axles: 2-3/8...

• How to Identify Correct Replacement Electric Drum Brakes for 1987 Avion Travel Trailer
  There were 5 travel trailer models in the Avion lineup in 1987 and all were tandem axle models, such as the M-25H. Based on their weights they would have used axles rated for 3500 to 5200-lbs. The best way to select the correct replacement drum brake assemblies is to find the sticker or plate on the axles (or find their weight rating in the manual or on the main VIN sticker on the trailer) so you can match up the new brakes' stopping power to their weight rating. You can also pull...

• Needing Brakes, Hubs, Bearings and Seals for a set of AL-KO Axles with 10 X 2-1/4 Inch Brakes
  The brake assemblies that I recommend to replace your AL-KO brakes are # AKEBRK-35R and # AKEBRK-35L. Theses are the brake assemblies for both the left and right sides of the axle. I like these brake assemblies over the others we carry for two reasons, the shoe pads are machined rather than clipped and the magnets on theses brakes are thicker. The machined shoe pad will wear better and are sturdier than the clipped end shoe pad. The thicker magnet will wear better and in turn last longer...

• How Difficult is Replacing Pop Up Camper Brake Assemblies
  Brake replacement really isn't bad. It's really just a matter of pulling off the wheels and hubs and then unbolting the assemblies and replacing them with new ones. If you check out the attached video link down below you can see the install of a 10 inch brake assembly part # AKEBRK-35R. This is most likely what your trailer needs since 3,500 lb axles like what this kit fits are very popular. The matching left hand side you would need is part # AKEBRK-35L.

• Replacement Electric Brakes for a 2012 Palomino Sabre 31RETS-6
  Based on the specs I looked up on your 2012 Sabre 5th wheel trailer it likely has two 5,200 to 6,000 pound axles on it. This means it would use 12 x 2 inch brake assemblies. For 12 x 2 inch brakes for the left side of the trailer you can use # AKEBRK-7L-SA. And for the right side use # AKEBRK-7R-SA. These are self-adjusting electric brakes with the 5 bolt pattern. I have included links to a couple of videos on these brakes for you.

• How to Determine the Correct Replacement Trailer Drum Brake Shoes
  You may want to check the adjustment on your trailer brakes. You should hear a slight but constant drag of the pads on the drum when the drum turns. But excessive noise could indicate that the brakes are adjusted too aggressively or there could be some debris in the assembly somewhere. There should be a manufacturer name or model, something that indicates the manufacturer and the model number. To determine the size of the assembly you can measure the inner diameter of the drum at...

• Trailer Brakes Do Not Lock Up and Show Low Voltage, What is the Right Voltage
  I contacted our representative at Redline about the issue you are having with your trailer brakes and your 1996 Toyota 4Runner. He informed me that there should be 12 volts of power at the trailer brakes if the brake controller is putting out 12 volts. Start with your brake controller. Review the set-up instructions that came with your controller to make sure it adjusted correctly. Then, use a multimeter like part # BTMT15 to check the voltage on the blue output wire of the controller....

• Braking is Weaker After Replacing Electric Trailer Brakes
  Anytime you put on new brakes you have to make sure to adjust them. There is a little adjustment wheel below the magnet accessible through a hole on the back side of the backing plate. Use a screwdriver or similar flat blade tool to turn the wheel. You will keep turning it until the pads drag slightly but consistently on the drum when you turn it. I have included a link to a video showing the process. Fast forward to about the 1:55 minute mark to see the process. If you have done this...

• One Electric Trailer Brake Assembly Does Not Release After Applying Brakes
  You may be right. I would remove the assembly and check that all the components are in working order. See if you can get it to do the same thing while off the trailer by manipulating the various moving parts. Some of the parts may need to be properly lubricated but do not get any grease on the pads. You could also have a magnet or wiring issue that is causing the magnet to stick. You can test the magnet by itself to see if it is faulty. I have included a link to an FAQ article that explains...

• Can Electric Trailer Brakes be Used on Boat Trailers

Plus we see people do it all the time without issue so we know it's okay now to use electric brakes on boat trailers. We still recommend disconnecting the brakes before backing the trailer into the water. If you needed a 10 inch brake assembly for a 3,500 lb axle the part # AKEBRK-35R would work...

• Are Equalizers Required on Tandem Axle Trailers
  You will want to use an equalizer on your trailer if you go to a tandem axle setup. You wouldn't be able to install the axles closer together by not running one anyway. You would have to run two sets of single axle hangers. Which when you put the two hangers next to each other it wouldn't let you install the axles any closer than if you had one hanger with an equalizer. Plus, your suspension would be smoother with an equalizer since it would let the axles pivot up and down slightly over...

• Will Having Brakes On Both Trailer Axles Cause Brakes to Lock Up if Applied When Trailer is Unloaded
  It possibly could with the trailer unloaded, but you can adjust your brake controller to prevent this from happening. Just after the brake controller has been installed, you'll want to do some dry runs towing the trailer in a large parking lot or somewhere you won't have to deal with traffic. Accelerate to 25 or so, and with the power on the controller set halfway, actuate the manual brake switch on the controller fully. If the brakes lock up, lower the power. If the braking power was...

• Can Electric Brakes Be Installed On One of The 3,500-Lb Axles of a Tandem Axle Utility Trailer
  I would first check with the laws in your state as far as how many brakes are required for the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of your tandem axle trailer. Some states require brakes on both axles of a tandem axle trailer. If brakes are allowed on one axle I would recommend to put them on the front axle since that is the axle that will be bearing the most weight of the trailer. Also, when stopping the trailer, the weight of the trailer will be shifting to the front axle more than...

• Electric Trailer Brakes Won't Release After I Hit Brakes
  On a 5-way connection, the blue wire is normally for the brake controller as you stated. However the color of the wire in this case probably won't help us as it is evident this connection has already been tampered with. I have attached a trailer wiring diagram for you. The focus should be on the function of the wire and not on the color of the wire, so we can pair the correct functions at the trailer and vehicle connection points. To test the trailer wires, you can get a 12 volt batter...

• Installation of Brake Hub Drum Assemblies Over Brake Assemblies
  It is probably a misunderstanding of term dust seal. I'm assuming you are trying to put your new brake drum hub over your drum brake assemblies. If you don't have the ability to simply install them over the shoes, you will need to use the adjuster screw on the assemblies to allow the shoes to come closer together for that installation and then adjust them for a slight drag on the drum once installed. If you have the correct brake and hub assemblies, this fit should be easy. I've attached...

• How to Pick Out Brake Assemblies for a 2008 Starcraft 21SB
  If you measure the diameter of the axles and they are 2-3/8 inches then yes, they are 3,500 lb axles. Or you can measure the diameter of the current assemblies and count the amount of bolts that hold them to the axle spindle. If the assembly is 10 inches (see picture for where to measure) in diameter and has a 4 bolt pattern the part # AKEBRK-35R would work great for the right hand side and then for the left hand side you would need the part # AKEBRK-35L.

• Availability of Electric Brake Assemblies for Boat Trailer
  In the past it was not typically recommended to use electric brake assemblies on a boat trailer, simply because of the issues that could arise from mixing water and electricity. However, more and more people (along with trailer manufacturers) are starting to use electric brakes for this application. This is mostly due to improvements in wiring insulation and heat shrink connectors. On boat trailers with electric brakes, it is still recommended to disconnect the trailer wiring from the...

• What Measurements are Needed to Pick Out Trailer Axle
  To pick out a replacement axle we need three pieces of info. We need the distance from hub face to hub face, from spring center to spring center, and we need to know the capacity of the axle.
