Replacement Brake Shoes For Electric Brakes on Lippert 5,100 lb Axle

Question

Question:

Hi, I have a 2021 Forest River FSX 178bhsk. I want to replace the brake shoes. The axle is a Lippert Item V000513579 part LC152-SBSA-86.5-68.5-NOSP-US-L-65517-7225-30PT-CAP 5100 V00 capacity is 5100 LBS Which brake shoes should I purchase? Thank you.

Hi Aaron,

Appreciate all that info, and a Lippert 5,100 lb axle will use 12" x 2" brakes, so for brake shoes you'll need the Replacement Shoe and Lining Kit for 12" Manual-Adjust Brake Assembly # AKBRKR-S-12.

Like the title says though, these are for manual-adjusting brakes only, so if you have self-adjusting brakes on your trailer you'd have to replace them with Electric Trailer Brakes - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-7-SA and Mounting Hardware # BRKH12.

Hi Kyle, thank you for the response. What is the best way to determine if I have manual adjusting brakes or self-adjusting?

@Aaron If you adjusted the brakes by hand when you initially got the camper you would have manually adjusting brakes. But if you were able to adjust the brakes just when towing then you'd have self-adjusting. If you got it used or don't recall you can also look at the inside of the brakes, and you'll see a silver wire going across the middle of the brakes, which the manual adjust won't have. If you check out the photo of the # AKEBRK-7-SA you can see it clearly right in the center of the brake assembly.
