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.

Added front brakes to my trailer. Ordered two brake and two drum assemblies. They were sent quickly and are perfect. The drums where the wrong size but after calling customer service, the are sending me the right ones. Great customer service... thank you.

Everything fit as it should. Quick shipping at great prices

The electric brakes conversation package is still working perfectly after many miles. Great product. ??

thank u etrailer for sending me 2 extra nuts & 2 extra mounting studs. the best way to remove a bad stud is to drill it out. As u know im the one who had a mounting nut go on & turn both directions after it was put on. i could not back the nut off to replace the stud. i took a drill bit a little smaller than the stud & drilled the head of the mounting stud off. i drilled pased the 4 hole plate, knocked the nut off the back side, & taped the remainder of the stud out of the hole. No damage was done to the plate. Taking a grinder to it would have been a bad deal. The only thing i wished was in my hardware would have been a simple drawing of which the right & left sides of the trailer were. i had to go back & spend most of the day & swap both sides of the trailer after i done a complete job of putting on the brake assemblies. I did averything i thought to do to get it right the first time. I got it wrong! A simple way would be just to remind everyone that the longer brake pad goes to the rear of the trailer. I now have everything back together & everything works fine. What a nightmare, but now im in good shape. I would like to have better tires thou. Stronger & taller tires. I have looked at the contender st225/75r15 with the white rims. Soon i hope to chat with you on these tires. Again thanks for sending me the extra hardware. I will most diffinitly pass your website out to ones that i know. randy , fully custom built rv out of a v noise 16 foot cargo trailer, spent one year to build....

Perfect fit! No messing around with springs and retainers, Just bolt them on!



by:

This is the second trailer that I’ve installed these 3.5k brakes on. These are a direct bolt on for Dexter spring and torsion axles. The brakes assemblies are manufactured in China, but they’re built very well, easy to install and adjust..
They work perfectly!
An exceptional value for the price.
And as always etrailer shipped the same day that I ordered and packaged everything very well.
Great customer service !!



by:

Got my breaks in for my camper, easy online ordering and easy tracking the package online, I would suggest adding new hardware to all new parts, I will start ordering all my parts here.



by:

As described. Wish they would just include all the hardware though.



by:

Installed without a hitch, everything lined up like it should. Seems to work well only time will tell.



by:

Easy to install and shipped nicely. Thank you to Kylie for helping me in ordering the right products. I will continue to purchase from Etrailer. Thank you again!

The brake assembly came to me in 3 days as promised and it's exactly what I needed to get my trailer back on the road fast fast fast and the price was right !
Thanks etrailer.com !

All the parts are working great!!! I did a conversion from hydraulic to electric on my boat trailer. The trailer tows much easier and I no longer worry about being able to stop. I had a critical stop just yesterday and the trailer brakes actually locked up in my mind, a good thing



by:

Order was shipped same day, arrived on schedule, and everything was ready to install and fit perfectly!



by:

Product arrived in a speedy manner. Only problem with the order was the brake shoes were out of alignment and I had to reposition them (most likely due to shipping). Have use eTrailer before and will use them again and I do recommend them.

The product was delivered fast but came with no instructions as to which wire goes where. both wires are green and under the trailer they are black and white so the brakes don't work, I'm guessing the wires are connected wrong.

The green wires that exit the magnet on the brake assembly do not have polarity, so it does not matter which wire connects to the brake circuit and which grounds to the trailer. Either way, it should work. If the assembly is not working, I would recommend using a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to test the brake circuit to make sure the power is reaching the magnet.



by:

I ordered these short notice and received them complete to my house in two days! They are working perfectly and fit exactly as they should. Highly recommend them and the price can't be beat , I replaced all four on my camper for the price of one at the dealer!



by:

Replaced drums and brakes on both axles--3.5 K Dexter EZ lubes. These are on a travel trailer, so the EZ lube axle feature is not as relevant as it would be for axles subject to submersion. When the originals were pulled, I discovered that grease had by-passed one of the seals. The escaping grease did not get to the shoes and drum friction surfaces; but there was plenty of stray grease in the brake mechanism. I hand pack the bearings every couple of years and only put one pump of grease in at the zerks before the alternate pulling season.



by:

I needed to retrofit my two axle trailer to get it state inspected. I bought everything I needed from etrailer. I love one stop shopping! I was very pleased with the delivery time and the high quality of parts I bought. The brakes work like a charm. The only thing that I would suggest for the company is to recommend break away automatic braking device when selling these brakes. It was required by law in Pa and I had to buy an automatic brake locally.
I would do business with these folks any day. I highly recommend.



by:

Simple install and exact fit. Great price. Fast delivery. I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase another.
My old brake lining came loose and wedged against the drum almost creating a fire.
Tip:
Always feel your wheel bearings at each stop for excessive heat. I had only traveled approximately 50 miles and it extremely hot.

An infrared no-touch thermometer like part # PTW89722 could come in really handy for checking the temperature of your hubs.



by:

Purchased new backing plates assemblies and drum assemblies 2 to replace worn out parts and 2 for installation on an axle that didn't have brakes on at all. Parts fit great and have been working flawlessly for a year. Great parts, prices, and shipping time.

Thanks,

Brad B.



by:

Fast shipping and the products were exactly what we ordered. Love the website and the instructional videos! Would not have been able to do the job without them. Did find out that there should be more info regarding electric brakes. Particularly that some model vehicles will not operate them. Also some vehicles have had the 12 volt connection disconnected when off the line. You have to track that down and plug it back in.



by:

Best price I could find and I was completely thrilled it came pre-assembled.

  • Can Electric Brakes be Used on a Boat Trailer
    Traditionally, trailer manufacturers did not use electric brakes on boat trailers because the brake magnet wiring and trailer wiring did not always have the best insulation or water protection. These days, more and more manufacturers are using electric brakes on boat trailers due to improvements in wiring insulation and heat shrink connectors. If you are going to use electric brakes, I strongly recommend using heat shrink butt connectors, like part # DW05745-10, when splicing the wires...

  • Amperage of Brake Magnets and Size of Wire Used To Connect 7-Way Trailer Plug To Electric Brakes
    On each individual electric brake magnet the amperage draw would be 3.0 to 3.2 max amps at 12 to 13 volts on 7-inch brake magnets and 3.2 to 4.0 max amps at 12 to 13 volts on 10 and 12-inch brake magnets. The max amperage draw for the brake magnets on a single axle trailer (2 brakes) would be 6.3 to 6.8 max amps on a 7-inch brake system and 7.5 to 8.2 max amps on 10 and 12-inch brake system. The amps will be higher if using a tandem axle or triple axle trailer. I am including a link to...

  • Recommended Electric Brake Assemblies and Hub Drums for a 26ft Gooseneck Trailer
    If your brake assemblies mount on a plate using 5 bolts, you most likely would be looking for a 12 inch diameter brake assembly like part # AKEBRK-6R and # AKEBRK-6L, but you could verify this by measuring directly across the center of your drum or the brake assembly. To recommend the correct hub drum for your application, I would need to know your current hub bolt pattern, as well as the bearings it uses. In order to determine your hub drum bolt pattern, you would need to measure center...

  • How To Tell The Difference From Right and Left Electric Brake Assemblies
    The right and left orientation is determined if you are standing behind the trailer looking towards the tow vehicle. The left side is the drivers side and the right side is the passengers side. Tthe shorter brake pad will always be in the front of the assembly and the longer brake pad on the rear of the assembly, the reason is that the shorter pad will contact the drum first to slow the trailer down and the larger pad will then contact the drum to finish stopping the trailer, so both pads...

    I can help you replace the braking assemblies and bearings on your 2005 Fleetwood Gear Box ASV Travel Trailer. You most likely have 12 inch hubs so you need part # AKEBRK-7-SA for the braking assemblies. You want to measure your hub to be sure you have a 12 inch hub.

    You will need to do some measuring to determine if the 10 Inch Electric Brake Assembly LH, item # AKEBRK-35L, is the correct assembly for your trailer. Measure the diameter of the mounted brake shoe, the width of the lining and the distance between the mounting holes on center. It may also help if you can determine the manufacturer of your brake. Once you have these measurements you can choose the correct assembly for your axles. It is recommended to change both of the brake assemblies...

  • Which Replacement Electric Brakes For 10" Drum Stamped KA90831
    Yes. The KA90831 part number you referenced are a 10" x 2-1/4" drum so the # AKEBRK-35R and # AKEBRK-35L would work well for you. If you wanted to upgrade to a self adjusting brake assembly you could use part # AKEBRK-35-SA. These brakes do not come with mounting hardware included but you can pick that up with part # BRKH10B.

Or, for never adjust assemblies the part # AKEBRK-35L-SA and # AKEBRK-35R-SA would work as well. Most likely you have a Dexter 3,500 lb axle and the correct bearings would be the # BK2-100.

  • Electric Trailer Brakes Not Working After Replacing Magnets and Confirming Power to Magnets
    I suggest you first verify that one of the two wires from the brake assembly is solidly grounded to the trailer frame. (It does not matter which one of the two wires from the magnet connects to the brake controller output wire and which one connects to chassis ground). The ground wire should have a ring terminal and be tightly screwed to a clean, rust- and paint-free surface on the trailer frame. You might try roughing-up the frame surface before attaching the ring terminal. You indicate...

  • Recommended Replacement and Upgrade For AL-KO 10x1-3/4 Electric Brakes
    For your Keystone Summerland with AL-KO axles, the brakes and hub/drum assemblies will need to be upgraded as the magnets are no longer available for your application. You do not need to replace the axles, just the brake assemblies and hubs. I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35-SA which uses the 10" x 2-1/4" self-adjusting brakes, and the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K which is compatible with these brake assemblies and your axles. .

  • Troubleshooting Electric Trailer Brakes That Only Work in Reverse
    It is possible you need new brakes, but not necessarily. The brakes locking up when in reverse is usually because the brakes have recently been installed and they were installed backwards. Brakes are specific to either the left or right side. If they're installed on the wrong sides then you'll feel more braking when going in reverse than forward. The brakes still engage when going forward but possibly not strong enough to feel. If these are the original brakes, then I would not suspect...

  • Replacement Brake Magnets for 10 Inch Brakes on 3500 Pound Trailer Axles
    Based more on the testing you have done than the appearance of the magnets I would say that they would need to be replaced if there isn't a wiring issue somewhere. You can use your meter to make sure that the proper voltage is on the wiring. For 1 replacement magnet for a 10 inch brake assembly I recommend # AKBRKR-M10. It comes with a replacement spring and clip also. I have linked a video review of this magnet for you. I have also linked our help article on testing brake magnets.

  • Where are the Ground Wires Located on Electric Trailer Brakes
    Electric brakes have 2 wires located at the back. One is for power and the other is for ground (it doesn't matter which is used for which function). The ground wires should be connected to the trailer frame. The only other place that would carry a ground is the main ground wire that is connected to the pin in the 5 o'clock position on the 7-Way of your trailer (see attached picture).

  • Can Electric Brakes Be Put on a Boat Trailer
    Yes, electric brakes can be used on boat trailers. The brakes will not be damaged by going in and out of the water. Electric brakes are designed to hold up in all weather conditions because they have an E-coating that help prevent corrosion on most of the internal components and backing plate. For any of the wiring I recommend using Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 12-10 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Yellow - Qty 10 Item # DW05745-10 on any wires that are being spliced together. The heat...
