Quick Tip: There's really not a whole lot to getting new drum brakes. If you've confirmed that all of the specs listed above line up with what you need for your trailer, you can be pretty sure these will work for you.


How to Manually Adjust Trailer Brakes

The more miles you put on your trailer, the more your brake pads will wear down. As they lose contact with the drum, stopping distances get longer and longer. To keep your brakes working great, it's important to adjust them pretty routinely. For this job, grab a floor jack and either a brake adjustment tool (sold separately) or just a standard flathead screwdriver.


Jack up your trailer enough to get the wheel(s) off the ground. Remove the adjuster plugs from the backing plate on the brake, and insert the flat end of the tool through the back of the assembly.


Screenshot from an instruction video shows how to manually adjust the the alignment on a drum brake

Push in on the star gear and lift it up. Keep doing this until the brake pads catch on your drum. When you can't spin your wheel by hand anymore, back the gear off by about 10 clicks by pushing down on the star gear. Does the wheel now spin freely (even if it sounds like the brake pads drag slightly on the drum)? Great! Then you're all done with that one and ready to adjust the rest.


How to Break In New Brakes

After you get these brakes installed and adjusted, you'll need to break them in. First, find a long stretch of road or a big, empty parking lot. Once you're there, set your brake controller to its maximum setting and get moving. Speed up to about 40 mph and brake to slow to about 20 mph. Repeat this 15-30 times. The goal is to get the brake shoes and magnet properly seated into your drum. You'll know you've done that when it feels less jerky (and more consistent) each time you apply the brakes.


Note: The brakes will be very hot after doing this, so after every 10 stops you'll want to wait about 10 minutes to let the brakes cool off before continuing. If you don't, you might cook and crack the pad material.

The brake parts were all correct for my application and installation was straightforward with minimal tools needed. I did take the extra step of soldering the wire connections because that is the best way to do it IMO.

Stephen at etrailer was very helpful. He made sure I had all the right parts for my application. and they were on their way very quickly.

I will say that I tried to use my local dealer first because I like to support local businesses, but unfortunately, they were having trouble finding the right parts for my trailer. When we did find them, they were 50% more expensive for the exact same parts that etrailer supplied. I would also have had to drive 80 miles round trip to get them.

The reason for the 4-star rating is because of shipping/packing. The parts were heavy in large boxes with no packing material to hold them in place. Two of the hub sets were out of their boxes and there was a crushed grease cap. So, better packing to keep things in place in the boxes or use a smaller box would be nice.

I attached a few pics of before and after also tmy very worn hubs. You can see that eh armature is worn down to the studs and the magnets are starting to show the coils. It was time. Also a short video or timelapse that I titled, Trailer Brakes in 18 seconds

I am sorry that the hubs arrived in this condition. Let me get you over to our customer service department for them to see what we can do for you.

My first time ordering from trailer, and I will definitely go back to them in the future. George J let me know when my shipment was on the way. Carol C. let me know it had been delivered. It came three days early! Their customer service has been outstanding and I am grateful. I needed to replace some parts in my electric brakes on my 17' Casita SD, which had failed state inspection in Virginia. The dealer wanted $400 to replace the magnets. I went with a right and left wheel assembly kit made by Dexter, the company that made my axle. New everything! Not messing around. The good: Just four nuts/ bolts! The bad: two of those nuts on each assembly required more than wrenches to remove them. Be prepared! Have a plan! The two behind the swing arm can be hard to reach with a socket. And two of those broke free from the brake assembly plate, so they just spin. I had to grind the head of the studs off with an angle grinder, after removing the brake shoes. See photo. After removal challenges, assembly was easy. Just four bolts and two wires! I reassembled with an anti seize compound on the threaded studs, so that when I have to do it again, hopefully the nut's are not frozen on the studs. Etrailer's service was awesome and their prices were the best as well. I'm a believer and will go with them again. Excellent transaction and support! Oh yeah... my packages arrived in new boxes and in perfect, ready to install condition. No issues with my red at all. Give them a try!

Spring tensioner assembly immediately broke in my driver side drum. Im having to mail back the entire assembly on my own dime. Dexter service is nonexistent, had to go through etrailer for the warranty help. Ended up buying a whole new drum assembly because i need it asap, instead of waiting weeks for the warranty to get figured out. Very annoyed.

Website is very easy to navigate. Order went smooth and delivery was very quick. Parts seem to be high quality at a reasonable price. Very happy all around. I highly recommend e-trailer.

@OtisH Great to hear. Thank you for providing us with an update.


by:

These are awful. The first set I installed kept on catching and sticking on, despite constantly adjusting them. The second set was lightly damaged in shipping (etrailer customer support is top notch and sent a replacement set out right away) but I installed them after the first set refused to work right. They're better but they're still the grabbiest trailer brakes I've ever towed and make it hard to get a decent setting on the brake controller for good braking that doesn't snap your head each time you step on the pedal but provides decent braking performance. Save your money and buy generic brakes, instead.

I wondered if you had also gone through the process of what we call bedding the brakes? This process allows the brake shoes and the magnet to seat to the drum. What you would do is drive the trailer out into an open area, like an empty parking lot. Get up to around 40 MPH and apply the manual override on your brake controller. Make sure the brake controller is set high enough where it will fully engage the trailer brakes [usually the middle setting will be just fine]. Do not hit the brake pedal during this time, as you want to slow down your vehicle and trailer with only the trailer brakes. You will most likely have to do this about 20 to 30 times to properly seat the brakes. When you feel like your brakes are properly seated, pull over and check for signs that you are done: a bit of smoke is normal and your brakes should be very hot [brakes should read 350-400 degrees with a temperature gun]. If you don't see these signs, then keep repeating the process until your brakes are properly seated.

@JennyN I didn't follow the procedure for bedding the brakes that you outline but I did definitely get the first set of brakes ripping hot on a couple occasions before I realized they were sticking on. They were brand new brakes and drums so it doesn't seem like they ought to take so much work to bed. I was borrowing the trailer from a friend (and did the brakes as part of the 'rental' aspect of it) and have given the trailer back in the meantime. I'll let him know about the bedding procedure and maybe that will improve some of the grabiness he also noticed.

I purchased a brake assembly and hub kit for my travel trailer. I had a 100% positive experience with etrailer. Very helpful in placing my order.
All parts were correct and fit perfectly.
The only minor problems I encountered were as follows. The printed instructions included with the hubs were copies, that had been recopied about 3000 times. Practically illegible. One of the brake assemblies arrived without the small plastic clip that secures the wires for the brake magnet to the backing plate. Both of these small problems were "in the box" from Dexter and not the fault of etrailer
I will have no hesitation dealing with etrailer in the future.

    Hi Ross, When replacing trailer brakes the best piece of information is going to be the axle capacity since this can narrow down the compatible options very quickly. From there we can measure the inside of the drum to determine the correct fit. 5.2K - 7k axles will usually have a 12" diameter x 2" wide brake assembly while 3,500lb and 4,400lb axles will typically have 10" diameter x 2-1/4" wide brake assemblies.

Based on what I have found, it is likely that your 2007 Airstream Safari is using 3,500 lb axles. I recommend checking the axle tag to verify this information. If there is no information on the axle you could also measure the drum which would typically be 10" x 2-1/4". Although these...

The typical hub and drum assembly that fits with these brakes is the etrailer 3,500 lb # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K. Even though this is compatible with these brakes you need to verify that the 5 on 4-1/2" pattern is correct for your wheels and that your spindle uses an # L68149 inner bearing, # L44649 outer bearing, and a grease seal that has 1.719" and 2.565" inner and...

    Yes, the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-26-27 or part # 23-468-469 for self-adjusting will work great on a Lippert 3,500 lb axle. In addition to the brakes you'll also need hubs/drum for which I recommend the Dexter Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly part # 84546UC3-EZ. Finally, I do recommend using a junction box # 3375601101 and 7-Way Connector # H20046 to upgrade the wiring as well as a breakaway kit like the Hopkins Engager Push-To-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit part # 20400.
