Specs:
Note: Because free-backing brakes are designed to eliminate nearly all friction between the brake shoes and the drum when you are driving in reverse, a trailer breakaway kit will not be effective should your trailer disconnect from your tow vehicle while you are backing up.
Free-backing brakes let your trailer move in reverse without the brakes being activated by your surge actuator. These brakes are needed if your actuator does not have a reverse lockout, which is a mechanism that ensures that the actuator does not activate when your rig moves in reverse.
This free-backing hydraulic brake assembly has a fall-away shoe, which provides full braking when your trailer is moving forward, but supplies only limited friction when the trailer is moving in reverse. During normal forward braking, the fall-away shoe expands to catch your brake drum. When driving in reverse, however, the fall-away shoe's extra spring will overcome the pressure from the brake cylinder. This keeps the leading edge from catching on the drum, so the shoe will not fully pivot into the drum. This exerts a smaller amount of friction, just enough to provide a minimal amount of braking when in reverse.
This trailer brake assembly acts as part of your trailer's hydraulic braking system. A hydraulic trailer brake actuator is required for this brake to function.
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.

Product holding up well
Working fine. No problems.
Just as advertised and easy to install
Just received yesterday but upon visual inspection I am very pleased with both the quality and the price.
A high quality replacement brake Backing plate
All in all I am happy with the package. The master cylinder hangs up sometimes which makes for some sketchy braking. If I had to do it again I would have gotten the better master cylinder.
Excellent product and good customer service. Shipping was fast and free. Disappointed because it did not come with the required locking nuts.
Good product, as advertised, one year no issues
I got a complete rebuild parts order for the surge brakes on my boat trailer. The parts are excellent quality, the shipping was prompt, the prices were great and the help and service was super. I would certainly order from etrailer again!
I was disappointed that the new brake assy was delivered w/o the 7/16"-20 nuts and lockwashers needed for installation. My original brake assy had different size nuts. The new assy had permanently installed studs, so I had no choice, but to go to a hardware store to figure out what size nut I needed.
These brakes seemed to work fine. Installation wasn’t too bad. It didn’t seem to totally solve my problem. I suspect that the surge brake actuator was what was causing the problem. I’ll never know because I sold the trailer.
It’s very nice that they don’t rust.
The fit of these was perfect. My trailer is a 2002 so it had seen quite a few miles since it was new and I can't imagine the brakes were ever replaced given the condition.
I highly recommend purchasing the hardware that goes with this and reading the instructions on proper adjustment. Along with a new actuator this has my trailer braking like new!
The trailer has been in and out of the water a number of times and the brakes and bearings are working just fine.
The trailer has been in and out of the water a number of times with no problems with the brakes or bearings.
Order was received quickly. All parts fit perfect and function perfectly. Good company to do business with.
Replaced my left and right brake assemblies on my 2000 Jayco Eagle UDK 16, popup camper. No problem removing the 4 nuts I sprayed with penetrating oil the day before, or the hydraulic line. I used new mounting hardware BIK-00 and installed the new units without any issues. I did bleed the lines and cylinders, and the brakes really didn't need more then a few clicks to adjust, best the brakes have every worked since I owned the camper, I am the second owner. I also replaced the hitch coupler / master cylinder with a new unit from etrailer AT82543, Jayco used 4 bolts to secure it, super easy to change. Parts arrived when expected and in great condition! Thanks etrailer.com!
Great customer service
Stripping down a 16 year old 21 ft. salt water use trailer - from end to end. The folks @ etrailer were very knowledgeable, and helpful in my decision making. From placing the order, to tracking the order, to the way the items were packed for transit. Other distributors could learn from these people; in regards to customer service, following up, both office and warehouse. Unloaded the products last night, nothing short, all quality in regards to their products, with great pricing. The installation videos are a big bonus, and something I'll be taking advantage of, during the restoration. Will follow up with picture, (before and after) when I'm done
I cannot comment on it's performance, although I am sure that the brake assembly will work better than it's predecessor. Order the washer/nut kit as well, it is less than two dollars. One of my old ones actually broke and I had to put a good amount of heat on the other three to get them off. The adjustment screw was easy enough to move the brakes in as well. I will be ordering the left side brake assembly tomorrow.
