Specs:
Standard electric brake assemblies require manual adjustment of the brake shoes over time to provide longer-lasting and more efficient braking performance. With self-adjusting brakes, the brake shoes are always properly aligned, so there's no need to manually adjust the brakes after the initial adjustment. As a result, you get optimum performance without having to take the time to continually perform this type of maintenance.
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.

Fit 14" to 15" wheels.Product came today. Packaging was great. Wish i didn't miss the mounting hardware kit for the electric brake kit. Will be installing this weekend on my trailer I am restoring.
I purchased two sets of these self adjusting brakes for my travel trailer to replace the brakes on all four wheels. The install was straight forward, no problems doing it and I repacked the wheel bearings while I had it apart. As of one year later, I'm completely satisfied with these brakes. No more need to jack up the trailer and lay under it to adjust the brakes. The brakes stop evenly and smoothly. I'm glad I bought these, it was a good upgrade and I anticipate they should last for many more years.
Ken H - 06/09/2021These worked great, I used them on my boat trailer to get rid of the inertia brakes that came from the factory in 1998. My boat only sees freshwater and there are zero signs of corrosion. The four bolt bracket on the rear of these didn't have enough clearance to mount on my axle but I believe that to be expected... I took a flap disk on my grinder and rounded the axle brackets to clear. Other than that, bolted right up. They've been on a year now and have taken plenty of stress off my tow rig.
Great quality they have all the parts you need. Delivery was earlier than expected. Will be using the brake kit for boat trailer. Replace old out dated hydraulic brakes.
Rick - 03/02/2021The reason that I gave this product an average rating is because of the not being able to do the installation adjustment when removing the rubber boot at the bottom of the backing plate and adjust the brake shoes with a spanner wrench. Everything is there to do it but nothing lines up. Having to remove the tire and the drum to adjust the breaks is next to ridiculous.
etrailer carried the products necessary for me to replace the brake assembly and drums on my RPod travel trailer. The second shipment of tires and wheels has been delayed with an arrival date that we would not be home necessitating a call to etrailer to change. Leslie was able to make a delivery adjustment for this shipment. I would recommend this company for its products, shipments and costumer services.
They do not auto adjust like I thought they would according to the description, I eventually had to manually adjust them, and on one side the manual adjuster is messed up and pops out when I adjust the wheel adjustment. The brakes do work and aid in stopping as expected, and appear to be made well. Just didn’t exchange the bad side because of return shipping cost, trailer is just used occasionally.
Brooke M - 03/30/2021I am replacing the brakes on my Forest River r-pod Travel trailer. Your website is what a website should be, excellent, easy to find my parts and great videos on how to do it yourself.Your staff is very knowledgeable, your prices are very good, and everything was delivered fast , proper packaging, and everything was correct. Thank you for being there, I have a one stop shop for all my RV parts Needs. I will be buying all my parts from you [Thumbs Up]
Dennis - 04/02/2021I installed these a year ago and they worked good. This year I took my camper on the first trip and one wheel was locking up on the way home. I couldn't turn that wheel by hand. I removed the self adjusters and adjusted them manually. If I had to do it again I would not buy the self adjusting. Luckily I was close to home when it happened.
Situation: This was an upgrade to my 2015 Suretrac 5x8 square tube single axle utility trailer. The trailer was not equipped with them when I purchased it. I quickly realized after two trips with a full load that they would easily improve safety. My tow vehicle came equipped with an integrated brake controller as well as a 7 way rv plug. I performed this installation with the trailer raised up an only a inch or two, resting on safety stands. !! Of course, a lift would make this operation go much easier. !! Installation: THE etrailer parts were easy to assemble. All fit perfectly together. Obviously I did have to adjust the brakes a small amount to get them within the activation reach. Consideration: 1) To insure correct wiring it required extra patience and planning. I found the information regarding what wire activated what to be a bit confusing online. Using an inexpensive test light proved extremely helpful. For me it helped to determine from the start each connection point and color code that were meant for each other (in my situation changes in coding took place). To make it go smoothly I drew our a schematic before getting settled underneath. Note: that I have included images of the old flat plug wiring along with the coding. 2) If I were to do this again, I WOULD HAVE spliced the wiring to both L & R brakes before hand. Lying flat on my stomach underneath the trailer and trying to both properly strip and crimp the short pieces of wire from each brake to the 12 gauge lengths of wire was a little tedious. *Parts list from etrailer: (QTY) (1) ET7WK Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit (2) AKHD-545-35-K Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 (1) AKEBRK-35-SA Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs (1) BRKH10B Mounting Hardware for 10" Brake Assemblies *Additional wiring (below), ties, a few screws, electrical tape, extra crimps and stud crimps, etc. were locally sourced for connecting from the box upgrade kit to both L&R brakes. (1) 12ft section of white 12 gauge (1) 12ft section of black 12 gauge *Additional grease, both tube and tub type were purchased along with large rubber gloves for greasing and hub installation. NOTE: at this date I have NOT yet driven the trailer with the brakes. I had only tested them by hand spinning each wheel while having someone actuate the [trailer brakes only] from the vehicle.
Incredible service!!! Product exactly as described!! Job half done because I lost the shade!! Watched the [installation] video first and the instructions were absolutely clear!! So far the only problem was with a cotter pin that didn’t want to go in. Figured it out and moved on. Sorry, no pictures.
Loran B - 04/10/2021My trailer brakes were weak, so I checked them out... 3 of the 4 sets had linings that had come of the shoes. I started checking prices on replacement parts, but found the price of an entire assembly cheaper than a few parts. Called etrailer and spoke with Ashley to confirm part numbers and availability. Ordered a set of 4 complete brake assemblies for my trailer. The parts arrived within a few days. I replaced all 4 sets in about an hour and 15 minutes! Completely straight forward process! An impact wrench will help remove the 4 nuts from old assembly. My trailer now has brakes again!! Thanks to Ashley and etrailer for good prices, good information, quick shipping, and great replacement parts! Pictures show a lining off my original brakes; one new assembly; one new assembly installed; and finally both assemblies installed on one side of my trailer.
I'm MOST AMAZED that my trailer brake kit was delivered just 24 hours after I ordered it online...really fantastic service from etrailer, as usual! These parts are just what I need to get my camper back on the road safely...I've started installation between rain showers. Many thanks to the responsiveness of the excellent team at etrailer.
one year later and still working perfectly. used these with eTrailer's hub and drum assembly as a set. brakes are smooth and really feel safe with a heavy snowmobile trailer - usually a 5k - 6k load or so. I travel partly on I-95, so safety is a Huge concern, but no worries with these brakes. would definitely buy again!
Great experience. Excellent price, fast delivery and their representative, Tayler K was very knowledgeable and helpful. Because of the weight packages were beat up on delivery, but everything inside was OK. If you need brakes for your travel trailer this is the place to get them.
Lon M - 08/22/2020Im running these on a double axle boat trailer roughly 5,000lbs and after one full season they have been great. For the price you cant beat what you get. Easy to install, seem to be holding up well, have been in/out of the water. My only advice is I only put these on one axle (the front) I understood and did not expect them to stop that load and the towing vehicle alone, however if I were to do it again, or when i replace these, I will either go up one size or put them on both axles. Always better to over do it than max out your controller. No fault of anyone, these are great, and come time to replace I will buy them again.
Have dealt with etrailer for several years primarily for lights, wiring, bulbs and miscellaneous accessories. Needed brake assemblies for a trailer several months ago and got them from etrailer as well based on the positive experiences of the past. Another thumbs up for the company, the brakes work great and proved to be excellent quality at a good price. I have friends who now rely on etrailer as well. Top notch.
These are excellent units assuming they arrive undamaged. etrailer often does not pack things well. I had a set arrive damaged because they were throw loose into a box. To etrailer's credit, they did send me a replacement set for free but I still lost a few days in my project timeline due to the wait. Stars lost for shipping damage only, the brakes which eventually arrived undamaged were 5 stars.
Used these on a custom built offroad camping trailer. Easy install, just don't forget to order the mounting hardware. These bolted right up to the Timbren suspension (ASR3500S06) in about 5 minutes. Also used the 10 inch 5x5 drums to mate to Jeep Wrangler wheels. I would recommend this product and etrailer.com as a whole. Great customer service and fast shipping.
Seem to be well made, and is a lot easier than rebuilding. The reason for the 4 star rating instead of 5, I have a tandem axle trailer and out of the 4 assemblies I purchased, one arrived with the brake adjuster in behind the brake shoe, and one of the others the top of the brake shoe was off the pin. I did mange to get them back together without causing any damage.
The brakes were very easy to install. The packing was terrible for such a large heavy box. Hardly any packing material between the units. One of the springs attached to shoe came loose and I was forced to re-install. Glad I had 2 sets I was able to use one as a guide.
Brakes are still working good, installed 4 new assemblies on both axles as I wanted auto adjusting brakes, too much of a pain to keep adjusting manually as I pull my trailer a lot and would constantly need to be adjusted every couple of thousand miles. Now I don't have to bother with that. Great choice, easy to install and work great.
Kgh1959 - 12/28/2020Gwen was very helpful to make sure I had everything I needed. The parts came earlier than expected and packaged very good. I found great videos to help we with installation and all went smoothly. I wish all online retailers would take note of how you do business. It is a pleasure to do business with etrailer and will continue to be a customer in the future.
good quality product at a competitive price . Step up and get the auto adjust , you'll be glad you did. This was an upgrade for a tandem axle 7000 lb utility without any brakes .
Scott A - 04/27/2020I would give this product a much better review but I ordered two sets for my double axle trailer and one of the four brake assemblies were wrong. I was in a time crunch and needed the right part ASAP and customer service said I had to pay for expedited shipping even though it was their fault for the wrong item. Therefore, I had to pay a much higher price at a local dealership for the right part. After looking at other customer reviews this is not the first and only incident on receiving wrong parts. etrailer.com was willing to exchange the part for the right one but not fast enough for my needs, so they were willing to fix their mistake but not make the situation right.
