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.

See All Vehicle FitsVideo of Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - 12" - Right Hand - 5,200 lbs to 7,000 lbs
Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
Today we're going to take a look at the 12 inch right hand electric brake assembly for 6,000 pound axles. Now, electric brakes are easier to install and they offer more user control than hydraulic brakes. Electric brakes require only an electric brake controller. We do sell those separately on our website. They do not need an actuator or hydraulic line. The brake shoes on this brake assembly, they are lined with an automotive grade friction material.
Now this friction material is fully bonded. It's not rooted to the shoes, gives you longer life, more braking torque. The lining also has tapered edges on it and they do a circular grinding to the material to prevent cracking and crumbling that can lead to mechanical lockup. This is a manual adjustment brake, and on a manual adjustment brake that does require periodic adjustments, and the nice thing is on this one, the gear down here to adjust the brakes with. It is a fine-tooth brake adjustment gear, and that will allow for a more precise setting. Also there is no break-in period needed on these.
The backing plate that the brake assembly is attached to is a e-coated backing plate, so it helps resist wear and corrosion. The other nice thing just to mention is this adjuster plug if you see down at the bottom here, there's this plug in the hole here. That adjuster plug is included. On a lot of brake assemblies they don't include that and that hole stays open, and that opening is where you'd put your tool through to adjust the brakes, and if that stays open and you put your brake trim on sometimes dirt can get in there and cause problems with your brake assembly, so you do want to always have a plug in there to keep any dirt or debris from getting in there. This one does come with the adjuster plug.
Now the mounting bolts, nuts, and lock washers to install this onto your brake frames. They are sold separately. This brake assembly is certified for QAI, which is Quality Assurance International, and CSA, which is Canadian Standards Association. The size of this assembly is a 12 inch by two inch and this is a right hand or passenger side electric trailer brake assembly. Now the size, when they say 12 by 2, what they're describing is the diameter and then the width of the pad. If we put a ruler on the diameter you can see 12 inches, and then the width of the pad is 2 inches, so that's the 12 by 2.
Now this being a right hand or passenger side that has a sticker on it that says right hand so you'll know by that, but if that sticker wasn't there a tip that'll help you determine what side this is for is just look at the shoes. If you look at the pad here and then look at this one. It's a lot longer. The pad is the shorter one right here. That will always face the front of the trailer, so if that's going to the front that means this would be the passenger side or right hand side. That's the easy way to tell what side the brake assembly goes on. This is designed for the 6,000 pound rated axles. It does use a 5 bolt brake mounting flange. If you look at the back here, the five holes. You do want to make sure when this is installed that the brake mounting flange is a five bolt pattern. This does use 12 inch drums, and these are electric brakes so it does have wires you need to connect, the two wires here to come out the back. You can see there's two black wires. You have your magnet here so you do have to supply power for that magnet to operate. The two wires, basically one will go to the brake feed to supply power to that magnet. The other goes to the ground, and you can do either one. They're both a black wire, so either wire can be used for either function. Doesn't matter which one for which. That should do it for the review of the 12 inch right hand electric brake assembly for 6,000 pound axles.

Great kit, worked perfectly. Everything included for smooth instalation. 413027
Received the shipment in excellent time......got the assemblies yesterday afternoon and am up and running the following afternoon. Everthing was there as stated in the website. Take off (5) nuts, clip the wiring to the magnets, remove the old assemblies and replace with the new assemblies torque per specs. I would recommend this product price and quality. 339888
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. 338227
Fast shipping and good price. 666827
These brake assemblies are great. Installed and working in less than 20 minutes per assembly. I will follow up after I use them for a while on how well they last. But still for the price, i would still by again. Bought on sale and were cheaper than buying new shoes. 651960
Easy to install 620380
works good and was a great price 619942
Great product and unbeleivable service whether having product shipped or using the will call pickup. Will buy from you guys again for sure. 611400
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!! 601437

Fits and works as it should. Great prod uct 560048
Products came earlier than expected, and installed with zero problems. 525402
Good product, I have not had any issues. 496634
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. 487246
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. 483775
As always great service & quick shipping on quality parts. 482269
We got just what we wanted. 477290
So far so good only use trailer about twice a year thanks for the checkup 473062
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! 470853

Great service, prompt shipping, large inventory, dedicated and friendly sales reps, whats not to like about etrailer.com? 465563
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. 458673
