Self-adjusting driver-side electric brake is 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", 16-1/2" wheels.


Features:

  • Electric brakes are easier to install and offer more user control than hydraulic brakes
    • Requires only an electric brake controller (sold separately) - no actuator or hydraulic lines necessary
  • Automotive-grade friction material is molded to brake shoes
    • Pads are fully bonded - not riveted - to shoes for long life and more braking torque
    • Less chance of cracking and crumbling that can lead to mechanical lockup, thanks to tapered edge and circular grinding
  • Self-adjusting brake does not require periodic manual adjustment like standard brakes
    • Fine-tooth brake adjustment gear allows for a more precise setting
  • E-coated backing plate resists wear and corrosion
  • Adjuster plugs (included) cover access holes to keep dirt and grime out of the assembly and off of the shoes
  • Mounting bolts and hardware (BRKH12S) sold separately
  • QAI and CSA certified


Specs:

  • Application: most standard hub-and-drum assemblies, including Dexter, Lippert (LCI), and AL-KO
  • Configuration: left hand (driver's side)
  • Dimensions: 12" diameter x 2" wide
  • Mounting flange bolt pattern: 5 bolt
  • Wheel size: 14-1/2", 15", 16", and 16-1/2"
  • Axle rating: 5,200 lbs, 6,000 lbs, and 7,000 lbs
  • Limited 1-year warranty


Self-Adjusting Brake Doesn't Require Routine Adjustment

Standard electric brake assemblies require manual adjustment of the brake shoes over time to provide longer-lasting and more efficient braking performance. With self-adjusting brakes, the brake shoes are always properly aligned, so there's no need to manually adjust the brakes after the initial adjustment. As a result, you get optimum performance without having to take the time to continually perform this type of maintenance.


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.

Just to let everyone know this brake was to replace one on a 2023 Solitude. It was built exactly as the one that came from the factory, except for the ABS sensor that was added in the top of the metal frame. I laid the old and new assemblies side by side and laid out exactly where holes would go, drilled the sensor hole first then drilled and tapped the hole next to sensor hole that matched my original screw which on mine was a 1/4-20 bolt. Once i installed new assembly i just installed sensor same as it was originally, added a little bit od thread locker original bolt had some on it. Spliced the brake wires and Boom it was installed. After rebuilding my drum all i had to do was slightly adjust the brake spindle to my drum and its ready to go.
Havent took it out yet to break in pads correctly will be doing that soon.
Added a few pics of the old assembly and sensor holes and the sensor once installed. Remember not all RV’s have these sensors.

Package arrived the 4 brake assembles in a flat box,nothing but a peace of cardboard between them. They slid around, banging into each other. Two assembles were partially disassembled and the third had chips broken off one brake lining. I was able to reassemble the two assembles and live with the third. Why not stack the assembles like pancakes in a square box? Not impressed.



by:

Helpful site instructions, brake adjuster and springs became loose in shipping , so could use better packaging. Brakes work well, self adjusting has needed some maintenance but otherwise recommend this product



by:

when they arrived the brake shoes were out of place, easy fix pleased for the savings of over 100 dollars.OEM were 195.00 per side.



by:

My last order was for my fifth wheel camper. When I called I was unsure of the part numbers. However you guys had enough information and told me what i needed and it was correct. Everything came in on time with no issues. I believe this is the second or third time I’ve used you guys and it’s always been the same. Great product great people to talk to which is sometimes hard to get.
Thank you y’all for the great service and as I need more I will come to you.



by:

A great product and as always super great service from Etrailer support team. I know they will always do there best to make sure your order is correct and is shipped on time.

made in china,,,i was very dissappointed



by:

Good product for the price. I've used these brakes on multiple trailers.

Great product.

Part fit fine bolted up with no issues.

To team etrailer,
So far,so good. The
complete units were easy to install, although some of the brake assembly units were out of place and had to be reset from shipping and ruff handling. Here are some pictures of the 44 ft pace rig. We have already recommend you to many of our peers. We travel to about 20 events per year and in all kind of traffic conditions, we will let you know how they slow down the unit.
Thanks Al and Matt

Was exactly what I was looking for. Delivery was fast. 100% satisfied with the product.



by:

Although trailer is not on the road yet the brakes are a exact match and mounted perfectly.



by:

Product arrived quickly, easy to install. I put them on all 4 wheels of our 5 wheel camper. It was cheaper and easier to do it this way than to replace shoes and magnets.



by:

Ordering parts was easy. Chat people were very helpful and communications was top shelf



by:

Our Flat bed trailer can do some pretty heavy work however we do not use this trailer all the time.
When the brakes failed we ordered from etrailer and the parts came in and we installed them without much ado.
Thank you for having all the parts we needed. After a year of seldom but heavy usage the self adjusting brakes are still working splendidly.



by:

I'm probably not the best mechanic that there is but these brake assemblies were very easy to install,it probably took me about an hour per wheel to install,great service from a person named Michelle that helped me to get them shipped quickly,thanks, I would definitely recommend this company for all of your trailer parts....

I don't usually do product reviews but wanted to post this one. This was my first purchase from etrailer. I purchased all four brake assemblies for our 5th wheel which I felt was the easiest and best way to go and had my drums machined. It was a very easy transaction, the parts came quickly and fit as they should. Very pleased with the product although I have not put the trailer on the road yet.
BUT- The packaging was very poor. The assemblies were in a carton twice as big as it needed to be without adequate packing and the items rattled around to the point that two shoes were knocked out of place on the backing plates. I was able to correct it and no damage done, this time. Please improve your packaging.
I would definitely buy from etrailer again.

I purchased the brake assemblies last spring but did not get around to installing on our 5th wheel trailer this past fall. Packaging was sufficient & all parts were there & in place on the backing plates.The install went well, brakes are working good.I looked up online a brake in procedure for the shoe assemblies & followed it which helped out after the install.Overall I'm pleased with the price of the product,the service from etrailer aswell.

Brake assemblies working great,I like dealing with etrailer.Also good information from reps.



by:

The brakes on my 2002 Komfort 24-TS trailer were completely shot. I needed to replace the drums (cheaper than having them turned). I also needed to replace the electric brake assemblies and to upgrade them from manual to automatic adjusting. I called etrailer.com a couple of times to make sure I was ordering the rights parts and the phone reps were very helpful and courteous. The parts arrived on time and in good shape. I had everything I needed to complete the job. It took me all day to do all 4 wheels but I saved myself a whopping $1,000 over having the shop do the job.

Bought this backing plate to replace grease soaked brakes on Lippert 2016 7000 lb. axle. Since no one sells just the brake linings, I had to buy the whole assembly. Exact match of the Lippert backing plate. Very easy to replace.

  • Does the Magnet Get Lubricated when Installing an Electric Trailer Brake Assembly
    You do not grease the magnet or where it touches the hub (armature surface). Grease could end up on the pads or where the pads touch the hub and that will cause all sorts of problems. Components that do need lubrication are already lubricated from the factory on brake assemblies that are applicable.

    Based on my research, your AL-KO T-52 Axle has # 42 spindles that use hub assemblies with a # 25580 inner bearing and # 15123 outer bearing.

  • Troubleshooting Weak Trailer Brakes that Are Adjusted Properly and Have Good Magnets
    Is it possible there's grease in the drum which is causing the brakes to not lock up? If you blew out the inner grease seal or it was leaking at all this is a very likely cause. Otherwise it could be a mechanical problem of the assemblies and would need to be replaced. I attached a page that has all of the brake assemblies we offer for you to check out as well.

  • Parts Needed to Convert Military Trailer M105A2 to Electric Brakes
    We've had this question before and we were able to determine that your M105A2 either uses a 5200 lb or 6000 lb axle so for hub drums you most likely will need the part # AKHD-655-6-K. This hub and drum comes with inner bearing part # 25580 and outer bearing part # 15123. It fits a 12 inch diameter brake assembly. You do want to check your existing bearings for their bearing numbers. There should be bearing numbers stamped on the side. If there is not numbers stamped on the side you can...

  • Can Upgrading Axle Weight Capacity of Bigfoot 25B25FB Prevent Axle Failure
    The bigger issue you should be considering is if you are exceeding the weight capacity of your trailer. If you are bending and braking axles that are designed for the weight capacity of your trailer you most likely are exceeding the trailer capacity and going to a higher capacity axle would simply allow something else to be the weakest link. That possibly would be the frame. If you are using the full GVWR of 7,5000 lb of your trailer and you only had 7k axle capacities then this would be...

  • Where To Connect Two White Wires From Brakes on Trailer Axle
    If you are referring to two white wires from the brake magnet that are coming from the rear of each electric brake assembly, then it would not matter which wire is connected to ground and which wire is used for the brake feed. The magnet that operates the electric brakes does not require the wires to be specific. I am including a link to a video review of a electric brake assembly that will show the two wires from the magnet. If you are blowing fuses you will want to check the complete...

  • Recommended Electric Brake Assemblies for 2010 Jayco Eagle Superlite Fifth Wheel Camper
    I found a variety of Jayco Eagle Superlite fifth wheel campers and they all appear to have axles with a 5200 to 7000 pound weight capacity. For electric brakes on this size axle you'll need assemblies measuring 12 inches by 2 inches. I recommend the # AKEBRK-7L-SA for the left and # AKEBRK-7R-SA for the right because they are quality brake assemblies and are self adjusting. This means the assemblies only require adjustment upon initial setup and from there they will adjust themselves....

  • Recommendation on Brake Assemblies and Drums for the Timbren Axle-less Suspension
    For the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension, # ASR35HDS02, Timbren recommends the Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly, # 8-201-9UC3-EZ. These Dexter hubs measure 12 inches in diameter and 2 inches wide and have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. These hub assemblies include the E-Z Lube dust cap that will allow access to the E-Z Lube grease Zerk in the Timbren spindles. This comes pre-greased.

    On 12 x 2 electric brake assembly # AKEBRK-7L-SA the holes are spaced 2-1/8 inches apart on center except for the bottom 2 holes. The bottom 2 are spaced 3 inches apart on center. These brakes could potentially work for you provided that the hub and drum assemblies take standard drum brakes. If not then you would also need to replace the hub/drums. For that I would need to know the inner and outer bearing numbers and the bolt pattern, see link. If you find the brake assembly will work...

  • Difference Between etrailer and Dexter Electric Brake Assemblies
    Etrailer Electric Brake Assemblies like the 12", Self Adjusting # AKEBRK-7R-SA referenced in your question are different than Dexter Brake Assemblies such as # 23-459. The biggest difference is the brake pad material used. Etrailer brake pads use thicker material, and while most pads are "snapped" during the production process, the pads on etrailer's assemblies are cut. This ultimately results in a cleaner, crack free edge that will help extend the life of the brake pads. The matching...

  • Why Replacing Brake Assemblies Makes More Sense than Replacing Trailer Brake Shoes
    Due to a few factors it's going to be a better option to just replace the brake assemblies with new ones. Biggest reason is that the price difference between new assemblies and shoes is pretty small so you would end up with all new components for about the same price. Second reason is the replacing the shoes is quite a bit more difficult than just installing new assemblies. Finally, often times it's hard tracking down exact replacement shoes. For assemblies it would make the most sense...
