Question:

I am looking for the magnets for the braking system etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes - Self-Adjusting - 12 - Left/Right Hand - 5.2K to 7K I put them on about 10 months ago and they seem to have given up on me. I’d really like to just replace the magnets rather than a full set brakes if at all possible Thanks!

Welcome back Tyler! Wish it was under better circumstances though.

What you are looking for is the Replacement Magnet Kit for 12" Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies - 5,200 lbs to 7,000 lbs # AKBRKR-M12. This is a direct replacement for the etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA you purchased previously, but it should be noted that this is a single magnet. You will need to order one per brake that needs a replacement.

I will say that it's odd they only lasted this long. When you pull your drums off, check the surface the magnets adhere to to make sure there aren't any grooves or anything weird that could be causing the magnets to fail prematurely. I see you also got replacement drums when you ordered the brakes, but it wouldn't hurt to check.

Oh and be carful when you are putting in the little retainer clips that hold the magnets in place. The are super springy and like to fly off into oblivion and are basically impossible to locate after they do so (ask me how I know).

What kind of trailer do you have these installed on? And how often are you towing?
