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.
This free-backing hydraulic brake assembly 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.
This trailer brake assembly acts as part of your trailer's hydraulic braking system. A hydraulic trailer brake actuator is required for this brake to function.
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.
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.

Marine-grade, free-backing, passenger-side brake won't engage in reverse, even if actuator is activated. Automotive-grade friction pads are long-lasting. Dacromet-coated backing plate is supremely rust resistant. Fits 13" to 15" wheels.Replaced my left and right brake assemblies on my 2000 Jayco Eagle UDK 16, popup camper. No problem removing the 4 nuts I sprayed with penetrating oil the day before, or the hydraulic line. I used new mounting hardware BIK-00 and installed the new units without any issues. I did bleed the lines and cylinders, and the brakes really didn't need more then a few clicks to adjust, best the brakes have every worked since I owned the camper, I am the second owner. I also replaced the hitch coupler / master cylinder with a new unit from etrailer AT82543, Jayco used 4 bolts to secure it, super easy to change. Parts arrived when expected and in great condition! Thanks etrailer.com!
Stripping down a 16 year old 21 ft. salt water use trailer - from end to end. The folks @ etrailer were very knowledgeable, and helpful in my decision making. From placing the order, to tracking the order, to the way the items were packed for transit. Other distributors could learn from these people; in regards to customer service, following up, both office and warehouse. Unloaded the products last night, nothing short, all quality in regards to their products, with great pricing. The installation videos are a big bonus, and something I'll be taking advantage of, during the restoration. Will follow up with picture, (before and after) when I'm done
I cannot comment on it's performance, although I am sure that the brake assembly will work better than it's predecessor. Order the washer/nut kit as well, it is less than two dollars. One of my old ones actually broke and I had to put a good amount of heat on the other three to get them off. The adjustment screw was easy enough to move the brakes in as well. I will be ordering the left side brake assembly tomorrow.
Ordered brake assembly, fast response & delivery time. One year later,parts are working great!
Highly recommend ordering from etrailer!
Exact replacement easy to install
Perfect fit and simple to install. Pre installed studs are a great idea however the 4 nuts for those studs should be included as well. Also there is no hole to plumb a break flusher into if your trailer has one. Couple minor things but I still am extremely happy with the purchase.
Got the 4 bolt's, why not the washers and the nuts for the back plate ?. Would have saved me a lot of driving. Other than that Great product. Thanks
Made my trailer like-new. Etrailer support was fantastic; user friendly and professional. I'll continue doing business here.
