Specs:
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.
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.
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.

Driver's-side and passenger's-side electric brakes measure 7" x 1-1/4". Brake pads are made of durable friction material for improved braking and longevity. E-coated backing plates resist rust. Fit 10" to 13" wheels.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
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
Brooke M - 06/18/2021Complete and ready to go, easy install, spent more time finding my tools to wire the magnet leads!
Gregory - 07/25/2021Great 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.
Purchased electric brakes for a camper. Good price Easy instructions seem to work fine.
Great price, easy install and adjustmen t.
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.
Haven't installed yet but it was an excellent experience from researching the proper equipment to following through with the purchase. Very personable experience knowing who is gathering my order to who sent my order. Will be back.
Great quality, easy install flawless performance in my tent trailer over a few thousand miles. Would purchase again.
Bolt on simple replacement
The products I received from your company we're very good. Your service was outstanding! This also includes the brake controller, wiring harness, and 7 pin connector that I also bought from y'all. Thank you very much Diana H for helping me pick out the correct items that I needed. If all of your representatives carry themselves as you did ,you have got a winning team at etrailer. I will be definitely be ordering all of my products for my camper, and my work trailer from etrailer. Thank you again , sincerely, Jim
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.
Mike L - 07/08/2019Your company is great to work with.
After one year still the trailer working good. I took my vintage HiPoint fiberglass Motocross, and added an additional pair of brakes. 2 axles, just one set of brakes from the factory as the trailer was so light, as the other axle had the mounting plate, for back up I figured it was a good insurance. Everything fit, bearings backing plates, and the drums tracked correctly behind the originals. Also added vents on both sides as there were none in it.
one of the brake assemblies was missing a few parts (spring and clip that hold the magnet in place). Contacted the very courteous staff at etrailer and they sent me a replacement. They requested that I ship the defective part back to them and provided an email with a link to print a copy of the pre-paid return shipping label to print out. I think the return shipping label should have been included in the box with the replacement brake assembly as I don't have a printer at this location. I was very pleased with their service and friendly staff.
Got here fast and fit.
Exactly what I expected and delivered rims on time Thank you for the excellent service every time I asked question
Diane - 03/26/2020Brake Kit was easier to install than I anticipated!! Came with no instructions but etrailers videos were straight forward.
I can stop again! They were an exact replacement for my existing brakes and very easy to install. I also received them 3 days after I ordered them - wow! Thanks etrailer!
SteveL - 07/20/2019great service! I ordered a set of electric trailer brakes, a small clip and spring were missing from one of the magnets. The parts were probably in the box which I disposed of before I noticed they were missing. l contacted e trailer and they swiftly replaced the parts.
These look just as good or better than the Dexter original brakes. Fit perfect and worked flawlessly. Now I just have to fix cross threaded axle the manufacturer ruined on one of my axles. BTW my original Dexter brakes only lasted 2 years. Pads weren't worn but electric wiring frayed and broken and the electric brake drag was worn very uneven and had no clamping force, thus no brakes at all. Will definitely buy again if the need arises.
E trailer did a fantastic job. Before order: Technical support / help was excellent. Goal, conversion of a 1998 Floe snowmobile trailer from surge to electric brakes. Problem, due to time and corrosion, I could only supply partial part numbers, spindle diameter. etrailer did a fantastic job, researching, and getting me the correct part numbers, so I could order. Julie did a great job. She was very timely, communicated clearly and honestly, and just “kept me in the loop”. I received the order came on the projected date, complete and undamaged. Excellent. I would highly recommend etrailer, for your part needs.
Easy to install and a great price!
So far, so good! Haven't put too many miles on the camper since replacing the kits, but the purchase, quick shipping time, and ease of installing a pre-assembled hub kit was excellent! Product arrived as advertised. Would buy from eTrailer again.
I installed these brakes on Lippert axles and they worked seamlessly. I have not taken the trailer onto the road yet but the construction and pads on the replacement brakes appear to be very similar to the Dexter components they replaced.
