Most Popular Free Backing for Minivan

This is my second install of this brake kit (2 kits each time). The first set lasted a little over 4 years and then fell apart. The linings fell off the shoes, jammed against the drum, and locked the brakes up. It is less than 5 miles round trip to launch my boat. I don't need to launch or retrieve the boat very often so that is maybe 200 miles over 4 years. Since all I needed were new brake shoes I was disappointed to find that my only choice was to replace the entire kit. While it is certainly easier to just unbolt the entire backing plate and everything on it, it is a very expensive way to replace brake shoes. Bottom line: they are easy to install and work great (until they don't).

I restored an old concrete buggy that I purchased surplus from a rental company. It was in pretty bad shape. I got it sand blasted. I painted it with Rustoleum. I installed new brake parts, master cylinder, and wheel bearing kits. Pretty big project but it came out great! Now I have a great little dual-axle dump trailer designed to carry a cubic yard of ready mix. Works great for short loads of concrete and for drain rock and landscape materials too. I had to use JB Weld to get a good seal on the new plastic master cylinder cylinder-to-brake-hose connection, which was a pain because it leaked and required multiple attempts to fix. Plastic threads on the plastic master cylinder didn't seal with teflon tape. They are easy to over torque/strip! Maybe I did that initially, but JB Weld fixed the problem. etrailer brake assemblies were easy to install and of very good quality. Fast shipping. Thanks!

My trailer is over 25 years old and my concern was if I was going to be able to get the right parts. Everthing was still the same as back then. Much easier to replace the whole Assembly as opposed to randomly replacing a part here and there. I now have a new trailer...well almost

I did a total rebuild of my boat trailer. I ordered nearly all of the parts from etrailer. New carpet for the bunks new brakes and backing plates as well as a new brake actuator. New wheel bearings and seals. This trailer is old a 1974 but all of the parts fit I was satisfied with all of the products I received and the timely manner in which they were delivered to my door I am very happy with the fine service I received a t trailer and the help and selecting the right parts thank you very much etrailer.

The trailer brakes worked out great. After an initial “hiccup” I received the correct parts and they went on smoothly and have performed great. Thank you for you assistance it really made the project work as intended.

Great value. Nice upgrade for my older boat trailer to avoid the hassle of locking out the brake actuator for backing.
