The left side is the driver side, right side is passenger side. On a trailer brake assembly like #23-105 the arm that the magnet is on points to the front of the trailer and the magnet always will be on the bottom. I have included a picture that…
If your trailer has 7 wires running all the way back to the brakes, then yes, you can tap into the existing wiring. Each of your new brakes will have two wires for the brake magnet. One wire is for 12 volt power to the brake magnets and the other…
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…
Hey Dan, thanks for reaching out. The Terran Axle Electric Trailer Brakes #TX97ZJ use a standard 4-bolt brake flange. The spacing between the bolt holes is 2-7/8" center to center. This is standard for modern 3,500 lb axles. Some older axles do…
You can definitely add brakes to an axle without purchasing another one. The easiest thing is if your axle already has a brake mounting flange installed on it. If your axle doesn't then you can have one welded on, but we typically recommend…
There really isn't a particular maximum trailer weight that is used to determine when brakes need to be added to both axles of a tandem axle setup. While I do still recommend checking your local laws, I am also not aware of any general laws that…

Hey Albert, the nuts used to install the Brake Assemblies part #AKUBRK-35 that you referenced would need to be torqued to 45-70 ft lbs. Did you replace hubs too or just assemblies?
In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.
The correct torque is 30-50 ft. lbs for the etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes - 12" - 5,200 lbs to 7,000 lbs #AKEBRK-6. As for the wheel it depends on if you have 1/2" or 9/16" studs; you should have 16" wheels so with 1/2"…
When mounting the etrailer.com Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-35-SA referenced in your question to the axle flange, you will want to torque the hex nuts to 45-70 ft-lbs. You will not need a lock washer for these 10 inch assemblies. These electric…
According to Dexter, the nut should be torqued to between 45-70 foot lbs. If you don't have a torque wrench close at hand, Tighten the bolts until the lock washer flattens, which will put you really close to the correct torque. We offer 4 nuts…
