Everything fit just right wired up just fine takes a little while to break these things in but once they start biting they work really nice I did a little bit more than just replace the brakes I did the shocks, springs and equalizer then re-painted everything underneath too,pretty much rebuilt the entire suspension sure makes a difference. I'm including some before and after pictures here they're probably out of order but them's the berries folks !
Good product. I'm a mechanic and I purchased these brakes when installing a third axle to our tandem car hauler. Their construction is good, solid quality components. My initial reaction to these automatic adjusting brakes was that they adjust too tight. This means too much drag when not in use and too quick to respond when used. (i.e., "touchy brakes") I've been a mechanic for longer than I'd like to admit and I'm pretty comfortable adjusting trailer brakes, I do it on a daily basis. These were too tight but better that than not tight enough. I don't recall if the tension is adjustable. After a year of hauling of loads of all sizes they're still the tightest of the three axles, the other two are manual. (because after 10 years of spectacular service they only needed magnets and drums which were done at the same time as the third axle) It's not a huge difference, most people wouldn't notice unless they have more than one axle and the other brakes are not the same which you shouldn't do anyway. (yeah, I know.) So for me now that it's time to check everything for annual inspection I will see how the shoe/drum wear compares and decide to upgrade the others or downgrade these. After all, I said I'm good at adjusting brakes, not that I want to. These are good brakes, you won't be disappointed.
I was replacing the 20 year old electric brakes on my utility trailer and choose the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust electric trailer brake kit. The non Dexter brand cost less but after adding shipping and adding the nut kit they were the same as the Dexter brakes with free shipping and the nuts were included with the Dexter kit. This was one the easiest projects I have ever done. I had recently replaced the bearings so getting the brake drum off was a breeze. I used butt connectors with the heat shrink insulation wot connect the power to the bakes. I had thought this would be a two day project but did both sides in about 3 hours. And best of all, the new brakes function as they should, it was like I did not have electric brakes before. Again an easy and well worth it project.
Mitch M - 03/18/2019These brake assemblies were an exact fit for my Dexter Axle. The kit came with everything needed to change it out, including the bolts to attach the brake backing plate. Very straightforward instructions. Fast shipping. I would recommend E-Trailer for any parts.
David - 05/15/2019Replaced the Axel Teknology made in China brakes that failed due to poor grease seals with Dexter brand made in USA. All parts made in a ISO 9001 facility. MAGA! New brakes perform great.
Jim - 08/15/2019I built a utility trailer with my son from a 10K weigh capacity boat trailer and wanted to finish it properly. Bearings, hubs and drums arent an area to skimp on when building a trailer but where does a person find the RIGHT replacement parts. My local hardware and big box stores offer off brand replacement parts but of what quality and I'm still guessing as to proper replacement. I called etrailer and boy am I glad I had a micrometer handy. Their customer service walked me through all measurements and I'm assured the best quality products that will stand the test of time. I am grateful for their expertise and assured of quality. Thank you
Did a complete 4-wheel brake replacement on my 2010 Springdale 26', 5th-wheel. OEM Dexter drums and OEM Dexter Never-Adjust Electric Brake Kit. Spoke with etrailer rep and confirmed correct parts for my rig. Ordering was easy and delivered free in 4 days. Used the 4-days to remove old parts, clean under rig, maintenance to slide-out, etc. much easier with tires out of the way. Parts arrived and about 8 hours of work, it's all back together. Can't tell you if it works because we have not taken a trip yet. COVID19 puts a damper on traveling. But a good time to do deferred maintenance.
This product was easy to install and works great. I used this to add brakes to my 6x12 leonard trailer and love it since adding the brakes!
David - 02/18/2021These Dexter drum kits we’re awesome. It came with everything except a new cotter key. Maybe they will start adding a cotter key to the kit in the future.
Very happy with everything from etrailer. Thanks.
Tony - 05/01/2021One of the easiest brake jobs you'll have to do. Squirt a little WD40 on old nuts, or something similar, and let sit a while. Disconnect wires, undo nuts, pull assembly off. Put new assembly on, make sure they are on correct side( it matters, watch video). I ordered the nut and lock washer set, just to be sure. These came with just the nut, so you could get the washers separately. Tighten nuts to proper torque, as stated in directions, connect wires, and done. I also ordered the plug kit for adjustment window. You need two per side. These did come with them, but good for me that I ordered more, as one arrived chopped in half. Can't knock points off for that.
High quality parts and easy to install. Just follow the instructions on how to set/adjust the brakes after install. It would help greatly if the wires coming out of the brake kit were color-coded.
I called etrailer with little knowledge of the parts I needed for my project. I changed my boat trailer from old surge hydraulic brakes to electric. With the expert help of Bryan W. I received all the proper parts from brakes to bearings. I’m super satisfied with the support and products. I will recommend etrailer to anyone looking for great service
Very helpful over the phone ordering the correct break assemblys. The breaks arrived a day early so I was able to install them before I left for work which was nice. OTR Driver! Installing complete assemblys helped make the job faster and knowing I have all new parts vs just break shoes helps to insure me I'll have long life with the breaks on my trailer! The fit was great and new nuts were provided to mount the back plate to the axle! Very happy with the entire process from ordering to completion of the install! When needed will order again from etrailer! Thanks!
Have not been able to install parts as of yet but order came promptly and on initial inspection all parts seem to be correct size and what I wanted.
David - 04/02/2021Fast service, customer service representative was very helpful, I will deal with etrailer again. thank you :)
I choose the Dexter-Nev-R-Electric Trailer Brakes as an upgrade to the manual adjusting brakes that came with my toy hauler. I was tired of jacking up the rig and crawling under it to check the tightness of the brake pads. I have always been concerned about the safety of my family and all the passing motorists on all my trips. I do not understand why there should be anything but self adjusting brakes sold with all vehicles.
All the parts fit and worked perfectly! But most importantly the customer service I received from Christian was above and beyond what I could have asked for! I will definitely order from Etrailer again
The old brakes were a bugger to take off. Flat out they were worn out. The new brakes were easy to install. Good instructions provided. They work fine. I would recommend them to any one else wanting to replace old brakes.
So wonderful to have brakes automatically adjusted instead of doing it manually and wondering if all four wheels have equal braking. I know what happens when one brakes more than the others: over-heating and failed wheel bearings. Not fun.
We have been going on a road trips out west every year and on a few occasions we ran out of brakes on our big van. Our pop up camper didn't have any. Last year I purchased these electric brakes and they are great help.
Direct bolt on replacement for my 10 year old worn out brakes. It was obvious when I started this maintenance that the lining, bearings and seals had never been serviced on the used trailer I had purchased. I decided rather than rebuild the brakes to just replace the entire assemblies. etrailer made it easy to find and order the exact parts needed to do the job. They carried all the original Dexter replacement parts and had easy to follow videos on their website to explain the process.
Emmett - 01/09/2020I installed these Dexter 10" Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit with Hub & Drum Assembly on my 72"X10' trailer (that came equipped with a Dexter axle) to help ease the brake load as well as preventing rotor warping on my F150 especially during heavy loads. I have pretty much eliminated any 'push-thru' effect when braking especially for the unexpected quick stop(s). They were easy to install and (so far) have been low/no maintenance.
Brakes are working great 1 year later. When I bought my boat the trailer had 3 of the four electric brakes none of them worked and were caked in grease, old corroded wires, it was just a mess. I found etrailer during my search for new brakes and they really made the whole process easy with their how to videos and instructions.
Dan G - 07/04/2020Excellent product. Had minor grinding to perform to weld on axle Plates. Would recommend to everyone installing brakes on a trailer. Was very surprised to have the quick turn around time from ordering and receiving. Will definitely use etrailer in the future. Thanks
