Manual-Adjust Brakes
With repeated use of these brake assemblies, the brake shoes may move out of alignment, causing less efficient braking performance. To keep the brake shoes aligned and the brake assemblies performing correctly, you should perform routine maintenance.
These brake assemblies should be adjusted after installation and then as needed for the life of the brakes. To adjust the brakes, use a brake adjustment screw tool (sold separately) to turn the adjustment gear on the inside of the assemblies. Continue to turn the gear until the drum surrounding the brake catches on the brake pads enough so that the hub can no longer be turned easily by hand. Then reverse the gear by about 10 clicks. A properly adjusted brake should drag slightly on the brake drum.
Thoroughly Tested for Safety
These brake assemblies meet the requirements for certification by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA creates standards, which when complied with ensure a safe and quality product. These brake assemblies underwent extensive testing to measure stopping distances when braking. These brakes have 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.
Automotive-Grade Friction Material
Each shoe on these brake assemblies 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.

I replaced the original hydraulic brakes and hubs on a Jayco popup trailer. The electric brake and hub Assemblies are excellent and were an easy install. Haven't used the trailer during the Covid pandemic, but hope to soon.

Ridiculously horrible packing job resulted in damaged parts. The Post Office tried to salvage the box that was getting pounded apart because the person who "packed' the parts just threw the parts together in a padded envelope and then tossed that in a much larger box with no further packing, so the 9 lb. of parts just banged together and banged the shipping box apart. See photos of what post office did to try and salvage the box.

Brake assemblies seem fine, but they don't come with the mounting nuts! You have to purchase them separately. Others have pointed this out only to have an "e-expert" reply with a link to the mounting hardware and an implied "Duh!" So let me do their job for them, here is what should be in the product description- "BRAKE ASSEMBLIES DO NOT INCLUDE THE 8 FINE THREAD 7/16THS NUTS NEEDED FOR THE PRODUCT TO FUNCTION. YOU HAVE TO PURCHASE A SEPARATE PRODUCT TO HAVE A COMPLETE PRODUCT. UNLESS OF COURSE YOU WANT TO GET ELBOWS DEEP INTO YOUR PROJECT ONLY TO DISCOVER YOU HAVE TO STOP EVERYTHING AND GO TO LOWES TO GET 8 NUTS AND WASHERS."
Good Grief

Installed on 2029 sunray 109 that came with 2200 dexter axle and 14 inch wheels/tires. All parts fit well and the new pregreased etrailer hubs/drums made it even easier to assemble. Paula did a great job making sure everything would fit by diligently checking all part numbers,sizing and making sure I got the right controller adapter and brake plate mounting nuts and washers kit. The brakes and pod time delay controller are working well although stopping power seems a mite weak as expected during breaking in period described when you should then readjust after the 1st 200 miles.

These brakes squeal horribly. I have adjusted them, cleaned them, tried heavy force, light force adjusting all the way out and all the way in. They just make the trailer sound horrible. I actually try to not use the brakes because of the way they sound. Bad Bad Bad
Comments
Thank you for your review! Regarding the sound coming from your brakes, there are a couple of things that may be the cause that you can check. One thing is to see if your brake pads are worn down, and another thing would be to check the hubs. You said the brakes were clean, but the inside of the hubs can be giving you trouble if they arent cleaned as well. Hopefully this helps you out!
Brooke M - 06/18/2021I replaced these brakes with higher quality one from etrailer- new ones are great! These cheaper brakes squeaked from day one. I tried many adjustments all the way in all the way out cleaning nothing helped I replace them with a good quality set the squeaking immediately went away these cheap brakes are junk.

Great performance as a retrofit kit on my (originally unbraked) 2015 TAG Max. Amazing value and the customer support from etrailer.com was fantastic. I will return for any further trailer needs.

I am very sorry to hear that the complete order will not arrive in time for your trip. I will definitely bring this to the attention of our shipping department and have our customer service team reach out to you.

The assembly that I originally received, had weak magnets, and burnishing cannot be successfully accomplished.
Etraier was kind enough to send out replacement magnets..
The whole process established a bit of frustration as a second tear down what is required.

Great quality, easy install flawless performance in my tent trailer over a few thousand miles. Would purchase again.

No issues at all after a year. Would purchase again.

Great value, easy to assemble, works as should. Easy to adjust, and has held up very well.

The items arrived very fast. Need to remove 1 star because brake assemblies were packed loose in box and may have been damaged. Hoping for the best.

Purchased electric brakes for a camper. Good price
Easy instructions seem to work fine.
by: Ken07/09/2018
First purchase but not the last. Got them super quick and fit perfectly. Linda was awsome and a true asset for the company. I'd recommend E-Trailer to everyone for any and all trailer needs.
by: Ernest07/26/2021
Great price and great product, although packaging was inadequate. Brake drums were boxed, but brake back plates were just in the box loose. One of the brake shoes got a chunk taken out of it and one of the magnets was detached from the plate, and the clip and spring were loose in the bottom of the box. Luckily I was able to locate all the parts and reassemble it. Brake backing plates should have been packaged better.

Brakes arrived ahead of time. They fit perfectly and were easy to install. I saved the old bolts and they worked fine. Wish I had noticed the hardware kit, new is always nice. Easy to order and customer service knew their stuff. Great Job! I'm sold! Wes H.

Brakes are working great, thanks for the fine product and customer support!
Wes H - 10/22/2018by: Paul07/05/2019
Brakes were weak, had to run controller on level 12. Lost two of 4 dust caps on first trip. eTrailer would not replace dust caps. Bought replacement caps elsewhere. I would buy name brand next time.
Comments
Manually adjusted electric trailer brakes do require an initial adjustment, and need to be readjusted occasionally. To adjust the brakes, use a brake adjustment tool to turn the starwheel on the adjuster to expand the brake shoes until the wheel is very difficult to turn by hand. Then back off the starwheel in the other direction, about 10 clicks until the brakes drag slightly. Make sure all brake assemblies are adjusted in the same manner. Check out the video see link. Beginning at the 4:23 mark, our installer shows how to adjust your trailer brakes.

- Is etrailer Brake Assembly Set # AKEBRK-2 Sold in Pairs or IndividuallyThe etrailer brake assembly part number # AKEBRK-2 is a set of two assemblies. One for the driver side and one for the passenger side in the 7 inch size for 2k axles. These brakes individually are # AKEBRK-2L for the left hand side and # AKEBRK-2R for the right hand side.
view full answer... - How To Find Correct Brake System Replacements For 1990s Hurst TrailerThere are a few ways to find the right system for your trailer. The easiest is to look on the trailer axle for a sticker or plate that says what the capacity is. Then you can measure your brake drum to find the right size. I have attached a photo of a drum you can check out that shows where you need to measure. Once you have the measurements for the brakes you need you can go to the attached product page and use the filters to find the brakes that will work for you. If the insides of...

- 7 inch Diameter Brake Assembly AvailabilityThe common electric brake assembly size that is 7 inches in diameter is 7 inch by 1-1/4 inches wide. The part # AKEBRK-2 matches this and would work on a 2k axle like what you have. It also mounts with a 4 bolt mounting pattern. Only issue is the depth of the assemblies that you referenced. You listed a much deeper depth than what these are. Can you see where your older shoes were rubbing on the drum? What is that depth?

- Can 7 x 1-1/4 Inch Electric Brakes be Used with Drums for 7 x 1-3/4 Hydraulic BrakesLike you said the 7 x 1-1/4 inch electric brakes # AKEBRK-2 will work with reduced braking. But there is another thing to consider and that is that not all brake drums are compatible with both electric and hydraulic brakes. In most cases it is one or the other. It may indicate this on your brake drums. If you determine that you need to replace the hub and drum assemblies let me know the bearing numbers stamped into the sides of the inner and outer bearings along with the bolt pattern...
view full answer... - How to Find Replacement Electric Brake Assemblies for 1994 Fleetwood MallardIn order to choose the correct electric brake assemblies for your 1994 Fleetwood Mallard, you will want to determine a couple of things. You will first want to determine the axle capacity on your trailer. This should be listed on a plate located somewhere on the axle itself. It looks like your trailer should have a weight of between 3,300 and 4,500 pounds, depending on your specific model. I also found that it has two axles. Once you determine the specific axle capacities, you can filter...

- What Size Wheels are Compatible with Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-2The brake assemblies # AKEBRK-2 that you referenced are only designed to work with wheel sizes of 10, 12, and 13 inch. You'd need to go with a smaller wheel.

These are 7 inch x 1-1/4 inch brake assemblies and are designed for 2,000 pound axles. The kit includes both the Left Hand and Right Hand assembly.

- How Tight Should Spindle Nut of Trailer Hub Be and Should Brake Drum DragA light drag on the drums from the brake magnets is normal, but if there's enough movement in the hub/drum that you can wiggle it that would indicate it's not quite tight enough. The nut is normally ran down until there is no side to side play in the hub, and then backed off to the next notch in the castle nut so the tang washer or cotter pin can secure the nut. Over-tightening the castle nut can damage the bearings, races and spindle. If you click on the video link I provided, and fast...

- Is My Trailer Too Light to Need Brakes?A general rule is that trailers over 3,000 lbs are required to have brakes. This does depends on your towing vehicle and/or the towing laws of your state and whatever state you are driving through. Check your owners manual to see if they specify when you need brakes on your trailer. Some states require braked axles on trailers with a GVW as low as 2000-lbs, which is why the lowest weight capacity axle that we carry brakes for are set at 2,000 lbs like the # AKEBRK-2 electric brakes.

- How to Find Correct Replacement Brakes for Floe Tandem Axle Snowmobile TrailerThe best way to find the correct electric brakes for a trailer is with the axe capacity which can be found on the axle tag in the center of the beam. The brakes appear to be rather small so the most likely candidate without knowing the capacity is the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-2. These are 7" brakes designed for 2,000-2,200 lb axles. I have attached our entire selection below. We can't look up brakes for any one specific trailer unfortunately.
