Manual-Adjust Brake
With repeated use of this brake assembly, the brake shoes may move out of alignment, causing less efficient braking performance. To keep the brake shoes aligned and the brake assembly performing correctly, you should perform routine maintenance.
This brake assembly should be adjusted after installation and then as needed for the life of the brake. To adjust the brake, use a brake adjustment screw tool (sold separately) to turn the adjustment gear on the inside of the assembly. 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
This brake assembly meets the requirements for certification by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA creates standards, which when complied with ensure a safe and quality product. This brake assembly underwent extensive testing to measure stopping distances when braking. This brake has 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 this brake assembly 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 am sorry to hear that this was not ideal for you. I do see that your order was split, due to availability. The brakes have been sent out and should be arriving to you soon. Please let me know when you receive them, we would love to also hear your updated feedback once you receive them.

Was not packaged properly and came in damaged almost unusable had to repair I don’t understand why etrailer needs to add some serious help in the shipping department not just throw things in a box and ship it or use the MFG box and not tape them

Works great trailer never stop better
by: Wolf05/27/2019
34 ft Airstream, replaced all six brakes as shown. Product performs as designed. I am totally unhappy with the way the trailer stops. What I am describing is not the item's fault. I am shortly going to purchase a complete Kodiak disc brake set-up from etrailer. The point of my story here is that...don't waste your money on the replacing old & inadequate technology with the same. These electric drum brake set-ups stop only with one shoe...the other shoe is there to stop when backing up. The stopping distance with disc brake is said to improve by 75%!
Wolf G.

As indicated in my May posting of last year I replaced all six brakes with the Kodiak disc brake kit from E-trailer. The difference is remarkable! The braking distance has indeed been reduced by 75. There is no jerking or the trailer trying to push the tow vehicle. With the brake controller properly adjusted the trailer stops at almost the same rate as the truck without the trailer. If you use a trailer often, especially in dense traffic the disc brake set-up is a must. I am giving the disc brake set-up five stars.
by: Iutisone 02/03/2017
Excellent choice. I am very happy with my order. My trailer was done in no time. Brakes I ordered fit perfectly. Now it's done and I am happy and so as everyone on the road. Thanks etrailer.

These brakes are excellent. I have had zero issues with them since the day they were installed.
NOTE: On average I haul around 8K lbs and also not often so take my review with a grain of salt. Sometimes the load is heavy (a front end loader) and other times it's not (trash run). Either scenario, no issues. A quick gain adjustment and brake check and I'm gone. I checked the bearing play after a week or so and around the 8 month mark. Both times were A+. I think I'm 17 months into ownership. They're still working flawlessly.
When new, these drums had little OOR (out-of-round) which surprised me. Most drums have some sort of noticeable OOR. These no so much. My trailer stops quietly and effortlessly now. No pulsation, skipping, tugging, etc.
Would I buy these again? ABSOLUTELY!!

I ordered 4 non-self adjusting brake sets and recieved 2 self adjusting right sides and 2 non-self adjusting left sides. I needed the project to be complete and I installed them. When i tok the out of the boxs, there was some rebuilding as things were out of alignment from shipping. Initial adjustments on both sets was a little more time consuming because of the lack of large adjustments, but once set they are great. The electrical hook ups were easy. They stop my 5000+lb camp trailer just fine. Finally, hardware being purchased separately is annoying. They should be packaged together and the hardware should be free with purchase of the brake sets.

Very helpful, everything was correct and fit perfectly. Will use again next week on horse trailer I just bought. Arrived a day early which helped me get it done on time for my trip to Arkansas.

Hi , I change all the original bearings on my trailer last year . The new bearing seem to be working well and not heating up. The brake assembly was purchased as a spare and ready to go next time I work on the drums and brakes. I have a 2010 NASH 25P travel trailer . Price is good when I purchase your produce in Canadian dollars .
by: Hershel10/28/2018
I needed to replace the electric brakes on my 5th wheel because of inner bearing seal failure. Grease on the brake linings can be a recipe for disaster. eTrailer had the most competitively priced brake sets and the tech support was superb in helping me choose the proper replacement parts for my RV. I won’t hesitate returning to eTrailer for my future RV needs and can and do recommend the site to my friends when asked about RV parts.

Shipment was missing the washers and 3/8" UNF locking nuts. I was in a rush to get my suspension system and hubs on as the shipment took three additional weeks to get to me due to manufacturer back order. eTrailer did great keeping me informed. I had to go out an get the parts at the local hardware store and will install when I have time. Overall, seems like a quality product.

- Electric Drum Brake Assembly for Kaufman 3-Car Wedge Trailer 6K AxlesWe offer 6K-rated 12 x 2-inch electric drum brake assemblies like those that came on your Kaufman 3-car wedge trailer that can be seen on the linked page. We offer both manual-adjusting and self-adjusting types. For manual-adjust brakes you can use left- and right-hand parts # AKEBRK-6L and # AKEBRK-6R which fit wheels sizes from 14-1/2 to 16-1/2-inches. If you prefer the self-adjusting type you can use Dexter # 23-458 and # 23-459. Both types use the same 5-bolt mounting flange. If you...

view full answer... - Timbren Axle-Less Suspension for 10,000 Pound Mobile Hydraulic LiftA tow-behind hydraulic lift is going to need to be stable so I recommend using a tandem axle set up just like you mentioned. That would equate to using 2 sets of Timbren Axle-Less systems rated for 5,200 pounds for a total capacity of 10,400 pounds. We have a couple of options in this capacity: # ASR5200S01 has regular spindles; no rise or drop, and # ASR5200S04 has a 4 inch drop spindle meaning that it will lower the trailer by 4 inches. For a hub and drum assembly that will fit these...
view full answer... - Replacement Electric Brakes for 5,200 Pound Axle on a 2007 Coachman Adrenaline TrailerElectric trailer brakes for a 5,200 pound axle are going to be 12 x 2 inch. If you need to replace the drums we have several options, see link. But if your hub and drum assemblies are fine then you won't have to replace them. For 12x2 inch brakes that fit the 5,200 pound axle drums we have # AKEBRK-7L-SA and # AKEBRK-7R-SA for self-adjusting brakes. Or for manual adjust we have # AKEBRK-6L and # AKEBRK-6R. If you want some corrosion resistance for marine environments I recommend the Dacromet...

The mounting pattern does have the holes spaced 2-1/8 inches apart on center except from the bottom 2 which are spaced 3 inches apart on center.

- Replacement Hub and Drum Assemblies with Inner Bearing 25580 and Outer Bearing 15123If the existing inner and outer bearings on your trailer are indeed # 25580 and # 15123 respectively, then the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K referenced in your question will work perfectly. You will also just want to take note of the axle capacity on your trailer, as this assembly is designed for 5,200 to 6,000 pound axles. The taper that you mentioned on your trailer's spindle is not an issue. This hub and drum assembly features a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern and the...

For the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension- Off-Road Tires # ASR35HDS01 you can use brake assemblies # AKEBRK-6L which will work with 12x2 inch hubs. If you determine you desire to use trailer hubs, I recommend the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-201-9UC3-EZ which are a confirmed fit.

I like the brakes mentioned above more than the other brakes that we offer because they're a self-adjusting brake that does not require periodic manual adjustment like the standard brakes do. The brakes will fit your 16 inch wheels and will work with axle ratings of 5,200 pounds, 6,000 pounds, and 7,000 pounds. I attached a review video link below of...
view full answer... - Can Manual Adjust Brake Assemblies be Swapped Out for Self-Adjusting Brake AssembliesYes, you can easily swap out your manual adjust brake assemblies for the self-adjusting assemblies part # AKEBRK-6L for the left hand side and part # AKEBRK-6R for the right hand side.
view full answer... - Which Side of the Trailer Does the Left Brake Assembly go on Driver's or Passenger's SideYes the Left side of a brake assembly will go on the driver's side of the trailer. For instance the Electric Trailer Brake Assembly part # AKEBRK-6R you looked at goes on the passenger's side and puts the longer shoe in the rear. Part # AKEBRK-6L would be for the driver's side and will also put the long shoe in the rear.

- Recommendation for Trailer Brakes On a 16 Foot Enclosed Trailer with 2 Axles And 5,000 LB GVWIf your trailer does not have brakes on the axles at this time then I would recommend putting brakes on at least one axle. Many car haulers and utility style trailers with 7,000 pound gross trailer and load weight ratings have brakes on only one axle. If you plan on using your trailer often and loading it near or to capacity, then brakes on both axles would make stopping with the trailer much easier and safer, and would save wear and tear on your vehicle braking system. If the trailer...
view full answer... - What Happens if You Install Trailer Brake Assembly Upside DownYour trailer brakes will still work with the assemblies mounted upside down where the magnet is above the spindle, but from the customers we know who have done this we have found that the stopping power won't be as strong as if they were mounted the right way. I would recommend you orientate them correctly so that you have the safest braking on your trailer. A 5 bolt assembly shouldn't be able to bolt up correctly upside down. You might just verify that the magnet is below the spindle...

- Replacement Brake Assmeblies and Hubs with Bearings 25580 and 15123What axle capacities do you have and what diameter are they? Also I'd need to know the brand. We most likely have what you need but without more info I can't really tell you which you'd need.
view full answer... - Recommended Brake Assembly for 5200 to 7000 lb AxleTo replace your damaged Rockwell American brake assembly, I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - 12" - Left Hand - 5,200 lbs to 7,000 lbs, # AKEBRK-6L are compatible with all 12 inch electric drum assemblies for 5200 lb to 7,000 lb axles. I suggest replacing both sides of the axle for correct braking. For that, you would also need the right hand assembly, # AKEBRK-6R.
view full answer... - Replacement Shoe and Lining Kit for etrailer 12 Inch Electric Trailer Brake AssemblyI'm glad to hear they have done well for you over the last few years. You are correct, the Replacement Shoe and Lining Kit # AKBRKR-S-12 is the correct replacement part for your # AKEBRK-6R and # AKEBRK-6L brake assemblies. You will need to order two of these, one for each side. This part works for both the left and right side brake assemblies. I have attached a review video for your reference.

Both assemblies are essentially the same thing made by two different companies. The part # AKEBRK-6L and # 23-106 are both 12 inch by 2 inch assemblies that mount to 5 bolt mounting flanges that are manual adjust.
view full answer... - Replacement 12x2 Inch Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies for 7,000 Pound AxlesYes, there are other options for 12x2 electric brake assemblies for 7,000 pound axles. If you want self adjusting brakes you can use # AKEBRK-7L-SA for the left and # AKEBRK-7R-SA for the right. If you want manual adjust brakes use # AKEBRK-6L for the left and # AKEBRK-6R for the right. If you are looking for something more corrosion resistant you can use the dacromet versions # AKEBRK-7L-D for the left and # AKEBRK-7R-D for the right.
view full answer... - Can Different Brand Electric Trailer Brakes be Used on a Dexter AxleNo, you don't have to use Dexter brakes with your Dexter axles. There are some brake assemblies that are unique though that fit other axles so you would still need to look closely at the descriptions to determine if a given brake assembly has a special application or not. For example a 7K etrailer assembly # AKEBRK-6L would fit in place of a 6K Dexter assembly # 23-106. If it were me I would go with the etrailer brakes because they are a fantastic value.
