Question:
I have the AXLETEK 10-GG manual adjust brakes, is it just a straight swap out for the no-adjust assembly? I am assuming yes but want to be sure.

Hey Scott! Yes, as long as the brake assemblies are the same size and capacity manual can be swapped out for self-adjusting. The etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-35-SA and Dexter Nev-R-Adjust # 23-468-469 will both work as a replacement.
