Free-backing, driver's-side and passenger's-side drum brakes won't engage when you reverse, even if your actuator is activated. Automotive-grade friction pads and e-coated backing plates are long-lasting. Fit 13" to 15" wheels.
Features:
Specs:
Note: Because free-backing brakes are designed to eliminate nearly all friction between the brake shoes and the drum when you are driving in reverse, a trailer breakaway kit will not be effective should your trailer disconnect from your tow vehicle while you are backing up.
Free-backing brakes let your trailer move in reverse without the brakes being activated by your surge actuator. These brakes are needed if your actuator does not have a reverse lockout, which is a mechanism that ensures that the actuator does not activate when your rig moves in reverse.
Each of these free-backing hydraulic brake assemblies has a fall-away shoe, which provides full braking when your trailer is moving forward, but supplies only limited friction when the trailer is moving in reverse. During normal forward braking, the fall-away shoe expands to catch your brake drum. When driving in reverse, however, the fall-away shoe's extra spring will overcome the pressure from the brake cylinder. This keeps the leading edge from catching on the drum, so the shoe will not fully pivot into the drum. This exerts a smaller amount of friction, just enough to provide a minimal amount of braking when in reverse.
These trailer brake assemblies act as part of your trailer's hydraulic braking system. A hydraulic trailer brake actuator is required for these brakes to function.
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.

Items ordered were a perfect fit. I would supply the (4) fine thread hex nuts for the brake plate, and a cotter pin. The lug nuts are easily obtained but the brake plate hex nuts are not. Yvonne R was wonderful she was very patient , super helpful and polite. I can't say great she is. !!! I will order more parts soon! 440481
Ordered a master cylinder and a set of Free Backing Brakes for my 25yr old trailer. My original parts were no longer available, but thanks to the staff at etrailer, the replacement parts were a perfect fit. 407974
Great service. All parts fit perfectly. Replacement of old Backing plates, brakes, and drums was very simple. Highly recommended. 405848
Purchased a master cylinder and these free backing brakes to replace the water damaged parts on my 25 year old boat trailer. Even though my original parts were no longer available, the personnel at etrailer helped me find the correct replacement parts. I was ready to make modifications if necessary, but to my surprise, everything was a drop in replacement! I wouldn't hesitate using etrailer again. 407738
These brakes look to be of good quality’. I am Replacing possibly the original set of four on an 18 year old boat trailer. Time with tell how these hold up in the saltwater. 554577
The order arrived quickly and packaged well. Only problem was that the lower staked in studs couldn't be used. Not enough clearance to get the nuts on after assembly to axle plate. I just knocked the lower studs out and replaced them with the studs & nuts that were on the original assembly. New assemblies look well painted and the brake pads look good. These units were installed on a 1988 boat trailer; replacing the original brakes. I hope I get as much or more life from these brakes as I've gotten from the originals! 480508
Basically I just bolted these on and they were good to go. I bled them. the price is good and every thing is new and clean. Costumer service was real good about answering questions about product. nice to talk to a person when ordering. 576469

Fast service and delivery. Product exactly as advertised. Pleasure to do business 519690
Great replacement and a easy bolt on, still can't believe that it was cheaper too replace the whole backing plate instead of the parts. 513141
Easy to install, labeled left and right, and delivered fast. I'll be getting tires next and they will be from etrailer. 499102
Perfect. Great site. Great price. Quick delivery. Almost everybody trying to sell stuff online could learn from this site. 469593
Fit perfectly. Very easy install, much easier than replacing individual components. Price was very good considering you get both sides together. Only complaint, the nuts are not included with the studs on the plates. 458791

Ordered complete set of brakes and other items for my trailer and got them today. Very fast delivery. I wish all companies were this good in dealing with customers. I rate them excellent. 414764
etrailer brand is as good or better than a name brand at half the cost.. etrailer shipping is the best I have found, and best of all is the customer service, a big thank you to Karen 412423
These brakes are a perfect fit for my trailer and were very easy to install. The only drawback is that the 7/16-20 nuts that fit the mounting studs are not included, so if (as in my case) you're replacing bolts with a different thread pitch, you'll have to dig through your bolt jar, run to the hardware store, or order a mounting hardware kit. 377930

Review from a similar etrailer FreeBack 10 Inch in Trailer Brakes
I'm in the process of mounting them now. I can't say how they work yet, but I will say that it would have been nice to know that they don't come with the mounting nuts or bleeder valves/screws. That information should be listed in BOLD FACED FONT at the top of the description. It's not listed anywhere. 508810

Excellent product that replaced 25 year old brakes on a boat trailer at a fraction of the price that local dealers wanted for them. I found all of the parts I needed by searching the site and everything installed very easily. 562004
Review from a similar etrailer FreeBack 10 Inch in Trailer Brakes
Matched and replaced the OEM brakes on our boat trailer with no issues. The directions which came with them the brakes were not clear on which way to turn the "Brake Adjustment Star" for adjusting the contact of the brakes. The directions did not indicate rotation of the Adjustment Star being different from the left to right side brakes. This created some confusion due to the left side adjusted with no issue but cause the right side to be difficult until correction direction of rotation was determined. These brake work great and we are very pleased with all the other products we have purchased from etrailer.com 542275

Great brakes, work very well. Bolts would be helpful, 7/16 -20 bolts are a hard find, had to go to a specialty hardware store to find them. 505415
The brake assemblies use integrated studs to attach to the brake mounting flange, not bolts, as stated in the product description. Lock washers and 716 inch nuts are available as part # BRKH10B

Very, very prompt shipping! Customer svc rep very knowledgeable about hydraulic trailer brakes. Packaging ensured product arrived without damage. TWO NOTES: The brake line threads were not "well cut" on the right side wheel cylinder. To solved needed to "re-tap" the threads-- additional time required-- To make kit 'complete'--add 8 lock nuts to the package--will add about $0.80 to the kit and solve customers frustration of trying to find lock nuts with 5/8" across the flats. 11/16" across the flats will not work as too close to the welded axle on the mounting flange 385816
Thanks for the follow up and reply. I did want to let you know that part BRKH10B is available and is linked as a related item. This item included 8 nuts and lockwashers.

This review is for the Hydraulic Brake Kit - Uni-Servo - Free Backing - Dacromet - 10" - Left/Right Hand - 3,500 lbs - AKFBBRK-35-D. This worked perfectly on my 2008 Bear pontoon trailer with Axis branded 3,500 lb tandem axles and hydraulic surge brakes on one axle. It all went together smoothly without issue and after repacking the bearings and bleeding the system, the brakes now work again. A special thanks to Jameson for your time and recommendation on this kit, it was spot on! 352521
Review from a similar etrailer FreeBack 10 Inch in Trailer Brakes
Just bought a jet boat project. Everything went great until I inspected the trailer. It turned out to be just as big a project as the boat. Never worked on a trailer before so I went online and found some videos and checked it out. After deciding I could do this I then searched for parts and decided to give etrailer a try. All parts came quickly and the trailer was done in 3 days.I live in Las Vegas and being summer it gets too hot to work outside in the afternoon or I would nave been done in 2 days. All the parts fit perfectly and I couldn't be happier. I would use them again without any hesitation. Thank You etrailer 519408

Fantastic way to repair brakes on trailer. Actually less cost than buying individual parts to complete the job. Both sides completed in under 2 hours. Will be sure to tell everyone i know that has trailers to used this site for all of their needs. This is the 2nd trailer we have done brakes on, Extremely happy i found this site. 545454
Review from a similar etrailer FreeBack 10 Inch in Trailer Brakes
The AKFBBRK-35 L and R brake assemble is an excellent product. A very good product for the low cost compared to other products on the market. Excellent quality both in manufacturing and material. The hardest part in installing the new product was in getting the old parts off of the trailer. The new assembly bolted into place with no problem. Replacing the complete assembly is the best way to go rather than just replacing the shoes and brake cylinder and hardware. Sorry that I neglected to take a photo of the brake assembly installed but their performance was better than the original brakes which did not have the "free backing" feature. I feel much safer now when pulling a loaded trailer. 574236

Review from a similar etrailer FreeBack 10 Inch in Trailer Brakes
When ordering, be aware you're ordering a set of two. I did not find this clear on the website, and thus ordered quantity 2, which means I received 4 brakes. Had to pay a $30 shipping charge to return the other two. Additionally: one of the brakes when installed did not fit the hub. I adjusted them all the way in, but the brake shoe simply hung up on the hub no matter what I did. I swapped it out for one of the extras I'd ordered and it went right on. So your mileage may vary. 613165
