  • Adjuster plugs (included) protect internal components from dirt, grime, and road debris
  • Durable magnets ensure consistent braking power
    • Encased in a stamped steel housing

  • Dimensions: 12" diameter x 2" wide

  • Wheel size: 14-1/2", 15", and 16"
  • Axle rating: 7,000 lbs
  • Limited 5-year warranty


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.


Self-Adjusting Brakes Don't Require Routine Maintenance

With standard electric brake assemblies, you need to manually adjust them every now and then to make sure you're getting the shortest stopping distance every time you tow.


A trailer drum brake with a red callout shows the location of a tension cable and pulley on a self-adjusting trailer brake.

With self-adjusting brakes, though, you'll always have peak stopping power - simple as that! As the brake pads wear over time, a tensioning cable will automatically keep the pads in alignment so they'll consistently make contact with your drum when you brake. You won't have to do tedious manual adjustments anymore.


Thoroughly Tested for Safety

Dexter invests a lot of resources to ensure that these brakes meet the requirements for certification set by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). Basically, a CSA certification tells you that these trailer brakes are well-built and safe for use on the road.


How to Break In New Brakes

Once you get these brakes installed, 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.

Everything fit properly and installation went smoothly. All needed parts were included, which was nice. The self-adjust worked well and break-in was quick.
I've only put about 1500 miles on the trailer since install, so I can't speak to longevity.
I'd buy them again though.

Update 1024. We did a 7k mile trip this summer and the brakes were trouble free. Probably about 10k since install now. Id buy them again.

Great no issues putting it on trailer

Ordered new Dexter brakes and hubs for my 5th wheel trailer. Kurt provided exceptional customer service, working with me to ensure I was ordering the correct parts. Everything arrived on time and fit perfectly. Very pleased with the assistance, service and follow up by etrailer.



by:

I have been running these brake assemblies in my 14' dump trailer for a year now. I've logged somewhere close to 5K miles on the trailer carrying loads that sometimes had me thinking I'm glad to have G-rated tires on there!. I have not had to adjust them manually in any way and they have performed flawlessly. I won't even think about putting anything else on my trailers.



by:

Came right when they said it would and the install was supper easy. Hardest part was getting the old parts off. No issues whatsoever, I highly recommend using the Dexter Self-adjusting brakes. See the before and after photos. Etrailer is the place to buy your products.

Diana was very helpful when ordering these brakes. The prices are good and everything arrived at the promised time in good condition. The brakes are an exact replacement of the original and everything went together well. One of the easiest brake jobs I’ve ever done. I recommend etrailer and will buy from them again.

After one year the brakes are working as expected. I really like the way they self adjust.



by:

Best replacement brake assembly for dexter 7k axles! Never thought my mammoth trailer could stop so well.



by:

Very easy to swap these new assemblies onto the trailer. Remove the five nuts, pull-off old assembly assembly and you're ready to install new brakes. Not having to pull the individual components off as is done on a car makes this a snap. Looking forward to see how well self-adjustment feature really works.



by:

Replaced all parts with equipment made in the USA. etrailer is fantastic. Their customer service is fantastic.

They arrived when promised. What I really like best about the backplates is they are made in the good old USA and they installed perfectly. Thank you Dexter and eTrailer. Terri N. was very helpful as well!

Exact fit and great price. This is by far the easiest way to replace trailer brakes. etrailer is always a pleasure to business with. Fast free shipping.

Good product. Had to reset a couple assemblies that may have come apart during shipping. The big box of loose heavy parts doesn’t work well. All else is great.
Also, I paid for early 3 day shipping and they arrived in 7 days. Will ask for refund of extra shipping costs.

  • Dexter vs. etrailer 7,000 lb Electric Trailer Brakes
    The difference really comes down to brand recognition, price, and warranty, but apart from that they are very similar. Dexter is a leading brand and people know they are getting quality, hence the higher price. They Dexter also do have a 5-year warranty compare to the etrailer brand's 1-year warranty. Going with the etrailer brand doesn't mean you're getting a bad set of brakes though; in fact, with thousands of customer reviews on both sets, each is rated very close to 5 stars. Really...

  • Recommended Replacement Brake Hubs and Brakes for a Dexter 7K Axle
    I wasn't able to find anything relating to that part number and since you're unsure of what you have I'd just recommend swapping the entire hub to make everything easier. You're just going to need to choose the hubs that have your current wheel studs. For 1/2" studs with a grease cap you'll want # 8-219-4UC3, For 1/2" studs with an E-Z lube cap you'll want # 8-219-4UC3-EZ, For 1/2" studs with an oil bath hub you'll want # 8-219-9UC3, For 9/16" studs with a grease cap you'll want # AKHD-865-7-1-K, For...

    I'm sure we can get you a hub and drum assembly for your trailer but there's quite a bit of info needed in order to do so.

  • Suspension Enhancement For a 2021 Grand Design Momentum 353G With 7,000LB Dexter Axles
    First I recommend the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs # SS26MV be added to your axles. As these are designed for a single axle you will need 2 of the kits. It seems strange that the springs would be damaged as they are not that old and are likely carrying a lot of weight. These helper springs will help relieve some of the weight and provide some additional support to your leaf springs. As they springs are progressive they also help to reduce a lot of the shock that is transferred through...
