Passenger's-side electric brake measures 12" x 2". Brake pads are made of durable friction material for improved braking and longevity. E-coated backing plate resists rust. Fits 14-1/2", 15", 16", and 16-1/2" wheels.
Features:
Specs:
With repeated use of this brake assembly, the brake shoes may move out of alignment, causing less efficient braking performance. To keep the brake shoes aligned and the brake assembly performing correctly, you should perform routine maintenance.
This brake assembly should be adjusted after installation and then as needed for the life of the brake. To adjust the brake, use a brake adjustment screw tool (sold separately) to turn the adjustment gear on the inside of the assembly. Continue to turn the gear until the drum surrounding the brake catches on the brake pads enough so that the hub can no longer be turned easily by hand. Then reverse the gear by about 10 clicks. A properly adjusted brake should drag slightly on the brake drum.
This brake assembly meets the requirements for certification by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA creates standards, which when complied with ensure a safe and quality product. This brake assembly underwent extensive testing to measure stopping distances when braking. This brake has also been tested by QAI for braking performance in a complete automotive setup and under real-world conditions to provide the most realistic scenario for the everyday driver.
Each shoe on this brake assembly is lined with automotive-grade friction material for improved stopping performance and longevity. The friction material is fully bonded onto the surface of the brake shoe. This lining is custom-molded for a perfect fit. The edges are tapered to ensure long-lasting performance. This taper, along with the circular grinding that the lining undergoes, helps to prevent cracking and crumbling. This durability helps to prevent mechanical lockup, which can occur when brake shoes are excessively worn or broken.
The friction material is also SAE-N certified, which means that it is an environmentally safe product that complies with California and Washington regulations regarding the composition of brake pads. As a result, this material not only provides high-performance braking that can endure the test of time, but it is also environmentally friendly and safe for use throughout the United States and Canada.
Arrived just when I needed them! Fairly easy to install on our horse trailer and worked without a hassle. Even with 2nd day shipping, was a much cheaper option to local alternatives. Did not take a pic after they were installed, but they arrived looking just like the picture on the site.
Excellent choice. I am very happy with my order. My trailer was done in no time. Brakes I ordered fit perfectly. Now it's done and I am happy and so as everyone on the road. Thanks etrailer.
Quick delivery and great fallow up
Works well. Never had a problem
Fast delivery and excellent customer service. So helpful on the phone to ensure I got the correct parts
Excellent---- Web site is easy to navigate & has informative pages.
Prices continue to beat my local trailer sales.
Even though etrailer is on east coast & i'm located in mid west, I get deliveries in 2-3 days.
Parts are packaged well & have always shown up in excellent condition.
Worked as expected , High quality and quick shipping
These brakes are excellent. I have had zero issues with them since the day they were installed.
NOTE: On average I haul around 8K lbs and also not often so take my review with a grain of salt. Sometimes the load is heavy (a front end loader) and other times it's not (trash run). Either scenario, no issues. A quick gain adjustment and brake check and I'm gone. I checked the bearing play after a week or so and around the 8 month mark. Both times were A+. I think I'm 17 months into ownership. They're still working flawlessly.
When new, these drums had little OOR (out-of-round) which surprised me. Most drums have some sort of noticeable OOR. These no so much. My trailer stops quietly and effortlessly now. No pulsation, skipping, tugging, etc.
Would I buy these again? ABSOLUTELY!!

Still on my 5th wheel and holding up as expected. Great price on these.
I ordered 4 non-self adjusting brake sets and recieved 2 self adjusting right sides and 2 non-self adjusting left sides. I needed the project to be complete and I installed them. When i tok the out of the boxs, there was some rebuilding as things were out of alignment from shipping. Initial adjustments on both sets was a little more time consuming because of the lack of large adjustments, but once set they are great. The electrical hook ups were easy. They stop my 5000+lb camp trailer just fine. Finally, hardware being purchased separately is annoying. They should be packaged together and the hardware should be free with purchase of the brake sets.
Installed all 4 brakes on 5th wheel trailer with slight adjustments worked great on 400 mile trip through the mountain's. Had to turn down brake controller voltage after the first 200 miles because brakes were working better than manufacturer brakes.
When installing this brake kit be careful with the wires. The left side is prone to pinch the wires due to where they go through the backing plate. I had my son in law helping me. He pinched one and I pinched the other between the axle plate and the back plate. Had to put heat shrink over the damaged insulation. But, the brakes work great.
They are a very good deal for the money!
Simple to install. Exact replacement for my '95 Sundowner Horse Trailer which is 5k lbs empty.
Still plenty of pad left after a year.
Powerful. Now my Truck stops better with the trailer attached!
Brake assembly is a perfect fit and reasonably priced. Provides a good way to change out the brake assembly. It would be good to include a set of wire splice connectors to complete the kit.
Brakes came in quick. 3 days I believe. Work great. They were replacements for my 25 ft gooseneck that I haul hay with. Only thing that would make them better is if they came with no butt connectors for the wiring.
These were a perfect replacement on our dump trailer at a much more reasonable price. I didn't see any difference in quality between these and assemblies at double the cost. Next time I need trailer parts I will probably shop around, (that's just what I do) then go to etrailer.com to buy.
Very good bang for the buck, makes it not worthwhile to put parts or shoes on an old assembly. After the shoes seated in, i readjusted and they have been great. One note is that it does not include the fasteners to hold the assembly to the axle, so you will either need to reuse yours (mine were rusted to h*ll and back) or plan to make a trip to the hardware store.
Makes rebuilding your trailer easy. Get some shrink wrap crimp connectors for the magnet wire and its a wrap. Magnets are not specific to + - so hook to either wire and all is well.
One of four brake assemblies was damaged in shipment. A replacement was shipped immediately after a pleasant conversation with customer service. The replacement came quickly and returning the damaged assembly was as easy as it could be with the provided return label and the box from the replacement unit. I've installed the other three at this point, with no trouble.
Top shelf products, excellent selection, awesome prices. Converting a tandem trailer to electric brakes, these guys had it all from bolt on coupler to the new drums! Love these guys!
It fit perfectly and since it was a complete assembly you didn't have to mess around with replacing brake shoes or the magnets. Plus, it was cheaper than replacing the individual parts.
Excellent way to replace the shoes and all the other parts needed for electric brakes. I have installed 2 on my trailer and I know the other axle will be getting these also. The brakes work very well.
Trailer brakes and drums arrived is perfect condition. Put them on the same afternoon they arrived. The fit is great and installation was easy. Great product for the do-it-yourself-er.
All parts were a perfect fit, 2 hours per wheel change out including repack bearings, brakes were simple to adjust, took the 32ft 5th wheel on road test, after getting brake controller dialed in the brakes worked extremely well, was very satisfied precise bolt holes matching up to 5200lb axle
