Manual-Adjust Brake
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.
Thoroughly Tested for Safety
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.
Automotive-Grade Friction Material
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.

Cheaply bulit don't work
by: Russell02/15/2023
They were exactly what was described, easy installation and hook up. Customer service was excellent as well, one of the backing plates got damaged through shipping. I notified etrailer right away and they had a new one shipped out the same day with no additional cost.
by: Tim 10/19/2023
Great service and seems to be a quality product.
by: Devin Bosma09/22/2016
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.
by: Iutisone 02/03/2017
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.

SERVICE WAS GREAT
by: Corey03/12/2018
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.
by: Frank01/30/2019
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.
by: Ron S09/07/2016
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.
by: Mark R.09/09/2016
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!
by: rocket670606/25/2016
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.
by: Jessie01/28/2018
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!
by: Steven J.06/01/2016
We ordered a right hand electric brake assembly on our first order.The next day we called and had to order the left hand also.They both came together,in a very timely manner.Everyone we spoke with was very helpful and respectful.The product was of great quality .We were very pleased!We will definantly order from this company again.We highly recommend .
by: Jason05/06/2016
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.
by: Brian J.09/11/2016
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.

Everything is still going well with the parts. Thanks so much

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!
by: Brinton03/21/2018
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.
by: Ellie C.08/16/2016
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.
by: Dave b03/16/2017
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.
by: Thomas 09/11/2020
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
by: Ken O08/03/2016
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.
by: Gene Norris05/04/2017
Thanks for keeping in touch, your brake assembly is A great. you can not be the price with free shipping, easy to install, we go there a set per year, we put a lot of miles on this one trailer, I would recommend your brakes to any of my friends.
Again Thanks Gene
by: Rudy C.10/14/2016
Such a great price on the entire unit that it doesn't make sense just to replace the brake shoes. Such an easy process and eliminates the need to fuss with all the parts involved on a drum brake system! Just bolt on, connect the wires and your done!
Thanks eTrailer!

- Availability of Just Right Hand Side of Trailer Brake Assembly Set # AKEBRK-6For just the right hand brake assembly of the set part # AKEBRK-6 that you referenced you would just need the part # AKEBRK-6R which matches the 12-e-22 part number you mentioned as well.
view full answer... - Are 12" Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies Available Individually And Not As A Set? The Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-6 does include both the left and right assemblies but each side can also be purchased individually. The Left Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-6L. The Right Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-6R.
view full answer... - Left And Right Brake Assemblies For A 2011 Keystone Alpine 3500REThe Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # AKEBRK-6L & # AKEBRK-6R are great options for your 2011 Keystone Alpine Fifth Wheel. These brake assemblies will work with 14-1/2", 15", 16", and 16-1/2" diameter wheels, 5,200lbs, 6,000lbs, 7,000lbs axles, and measures 12" diameter, 2" wide. These brakes should work great for your 5th wheel as long as the brake assemblies on your current brakes are 12" in diameter and use a 5 bolt mounting pattern then these will work. I also recommend buying these...
view full answer... - Trailer Brakes Getting Hot and Smoking on a 2006 Dutchmen SportsmanIt sounds like the brake assembly got stuck and would not revert back after releasing the truck brakes. This could happen if there is a mechanical issue such as debris or corrosion causing the mechanism to bind up, or it could be an electrical issue such as a short that caused the magnet to stay stuck to the armature surface inside the drum. You will want to pull the hub and drum assembly off and inspect the inside of the drum. If the armature surface is gouged or discolored or if the...
view full answer... - Will 12 Inch etrailer.com Brake Assemblies fit a Gulfstream Kingsport TrailerAs long as the brake assemblies on your current trailer are 12 inches in diameter and use a 5 bolt pattern for mounting to the spindle the part # AKEBRK-6R is going to fit. Most likely that is what you have since trailer brake assemblies are typically all made to same industry standard specs and dimension in the weight range you have. I attached a review video for these assemblies for you to check out as well.

- How to Pick Out Replacement Brake Assemblies for a 5,400 lb TrailerTo pick out the correct brake assemblies for your trailer you need to know a few things. You will want to measure the inner diameter of your hub/drums and the depth of the drums to determine what brake assembly dimensions you need. For example the part # AKEBRK-6R that you referenced is a 12 inch by 2 inch thick brake assembly. You also want to determine what the bolt pattern is of your assembly mounting flange. The standard size is 4 on 4 inch or 5 like the one you referenced. You also...

- Can I Install Brake Assemblies Upside DownWe do not have any replacement 12" braking assemblies like part # AKEBRK-6R that have the back plate reversed or upside down. They are designed to have the brake magnet below the axle not above it so I cannot recommend installing them upside down or somehow reversing the backing plate. Axles have a bow in them that is designed to straighten out under weight. If the bow is orientated downwards then it could be negatively affecting the weight capacity of the trailer. I recommend to have...
view full answer... - Torque Spec for Tightening Trailer Brake Assemblies to Trailer SpindleThe attachment bolts for a 5-bolt brake assembly like the part # AKEBRK-6R should be torqued to 30-50 foot/lbs. If you don't have a torque wrench handy, if you tighten the bolts until the lock washers flatten out, you'll be pretty darn close to that range.
view full answer... - Is it a Good Idea to Replace Hub/Drum When Replacing Brake Assembly on TrailerIf there is visible signs of wear then it is a good idea to replace the hub/drum with the brake assemblies. If the armature surface where the brake magnet is damaged, or if the area where the bearings ride is showing wear or is damaged it would be time to replace the hubs. If you had bearings go out in the hub and you continued to drive on them for a while, to the point where the hub is damaged it would be time for the hub to be replaced. To pick out replacement hubs you will need to...

- Which Side of the Trailer Does the Left Brake Assembly go on Driver's or Passenger's SideYes the Left side of a brake assembly will go on the driver's side of the trailer. For instance the Electric Trailer Brake Assembly part # AKEBRK-6R you looked at goes on the passenger's side and puts the longer shoe in the rear. Part # AKEBRK-6L would be for the driver's side and will also put the long shoe in the rear.

I suggest replacing both sides of the axle for correct braking. For that, you would also need the right hand assembly, # AKEBRK-6R.

The mounting pattern does have the holes spaced 2-1/8 inches apart on center except from the bottom 2 which are spaced 3 inches apart on center.

- Why Would Fifth Wheel Trailer Brakes Lock Up Until Trailer Battery is DisconnectedSounds like your trailer has a breakaway system on that had the plunger pulled and now the brakes want to lock up as long as it is connected to a battery. Check out the help articles I attached on breakaway systems. They will help you identify where yours is at and help you test it. The switch would look like the part # 3802348. Which if your plunger was pulled and was missing this would work well as a replacement to allow you to get your trailer going again.

view full answer... - Merits of Replacing Drum Brakes vs. Rebuilding Drum BrakesWe do offer all kinds of replacement brake parts for both electric and hydraulic drum brakes, including shoes, springs, actuating levers, etc. But many folks do determine, after reviewing all the parts needed and their total cost, that the time savings of simply replacing the entire brake assembly often makes that option preferable overall. Sometimes it does not even cost much more than replacing just the worn parts. Apart from cost and time to do the servicing there is also the benefit...
view full answer... - Recommendation for Trailer Brakes On a 16 Foot Enclosed Trailer with 2 Axles And 5,000 LB GVWIf your trailer does not have brakes on the axles at this time then I would recommend putting brakes on at least one axle. Many car haulers and utility style trailers with 7,000 pound gross trailer and load weight ratings have brakes on only one axle. If you plan on using your trailer often and loading it near or to capacity, then brakes on both axles would make stopping with the trailer much easier and safer, and would save wear and tear on your vehicle braking system. If the trailer...
