I ordered these brakes on Tuesday they arrived at my house (in southeast Texas) on Friday (free shipping). These brakes heavy duty and a breeze to install. I paid twice as much for brakes I had bought before, locally. Good job ETrailer!!!!

Ordered all 4 brake kits for my trailer, good Quality , and excellent fit fast shipping. With a great price and on top of that, made in USA...!!



by:

Brakes were a perfect match for my camper and a simple bolt up. Thank you Anthony W. For making sure I got the right parts



by:

EXCELLENT...... START TO FINISH. Fantastic service, great prices, quality products. Here's a before and after picture. It only took 30 minutes and basic tools to make the replacement. So much better than trying to clean up the old rusty one. Thanks again, Bill Borland in Michigan

I bought 2 sets of 12x2 electric brake assembly for my car hauler. I was just going to replace the shoes but after remembering the difficaulty in doing drum brakes in the early days, I found it easier and less time consuming by just remove 5 bolts and connect two wires. This product came to my door with in only 3 days. Great looking product (no picture because i"m writing this after the install).
I have been back to etrailer several time for other items such as hitch shank, wheel center caps even grease caps. Great place to shop.

Just to say the products are great well made

Brakes arrived very quickly and looked very good. One spring and adjustment rod came off during shipping, but the pieces were there and easily installed. I haven't installed them yet, but am very happy with product at this point.

am still very pleased with these brakes. They have performed great with no problems to date.

I am writing this very favorable review of my online shopping experience with etrailer. Recently I had to replace the brakes, hubs, wheels and tires on my travel trailer. Please keep in mind that I am a 65 year old man without a lot of experience with online shopping. Never-the-less, I decided to give it a try in hopes of saving some money. To my surprise, etrailer made the experience very easy and painless. Before I placed my order on line, I had a question about one of the items on my shopping list, so I placed a call to them. I spoke with a very lovely and patient Customer Service Representative by the name of Michelle S. She was very helpful in answering my questions and encouraged me to call her back directly when I was ready to place my order; and so I did. During the shipping process, she kept me informed through emails the status of my order and everything arrived on time and in great shape. I truly appreciate the personalized services I received doing business with etrailer. They truly removed all of the uncertainty and nervousness of shopping online.



by:

The right and left hand brake were very easy to install and came with everything needed. The only problem after install, is that the left hand break gave off a buzzing sound while brakes were not engaged...adjusting the arm as suggested by your technicians to the electric magnet did not help...there was little engagement from magnet to drum while brake were not engaged, that i decided to go the 8k miles anyway, checking every night stop...it still has the buzzing sound and I will need to replace.



by:

Unfortunately, one of the 4 brakes came with the spring and adjuster shaft on the bottom of the box. I put them back on without too much trouble but etrailer should review the product packaging in order to protect the brakes from damage. The install needs shrink tubing style crimp connectors. Mine required sizes for 16 to 18 gage and one size up for joining 3 wires where one wire crosses over thru the axel from the left to the right side. Also there are two adjuster plugs per brake so a total of 8 plugs are required for 4 brakes. Once installed they worked great.



by:

Easy to install and again no problems this far.



by:

Perfect match as always. Shipping was fast. Customer service to find the right part is always so very much appreciated. Always happy to pay a couple of extra dollars for their reliable support and fast shipping (via shipping)!!!!!!!!!!!

Sara was very helpful at putting together my order after my POT HOLE incident, which destroyed the rim, tire, brake assembly, etc. Thanks for the help, im back on the road !!



by:

Quality product and super fast shipping



by:

I had bought a used Hallmark 24' cargo trailer. Got around to repacking the bearings and one brake assembly had just come apart. Electric brakes and one lead was gone so I order this item. Arrived in a timely manner. Installed backing plate/brakes and hub in about 15 minutes. Attached electric brake leads and everything looks great. I have not figured out how to test the electric brakes.



by:

I had ordered some parts online to rebuild the suspension on one of our trailers. Customer service called me a short time later to inform me that they were out of stock on some items, they asked if it was possible to substitute some items. She was able to find the exact parts I needed in a different kit. The parts came within 3 days, very well packed, and they fit perfectly! This is the 3rd time I've ordered from etrailer and they have exceeded my expectations every time. EXCELLENT customer service and quality parts.



by:

Good OEM replacement parts at the best price I could find. Bolted right up with no issues. Very disappointed that the brake adjuster slots do not come with plugs. Plugs from old brake assy, did not fit, plus there are two slots per new brake assy, but only one on old brake assy. Ordered 8 plugs. Disappointed as I had to pay for additional shipping when I ha free shipping.



by:

Bolted them on, wired trailer over from hydraulic brakes. this job took about 4 hours start to finish. 3 axle trailer. These brakes will hold back my tractor.



by:

Great quality, great price, fit like originals. Price from etrailer.com was quite a bit lower than other vendors. Quick shipping - trailer was back on the road in no time.



by:

Etrailer was great. Ordered dexter brake assemblies and grease seals. Everything work perfectly. Will order again.



by:

I ordered electric brakes on box was opened before, but all parts was still there, nothing lost. Got parts fairly quick also.
I've made purchases before from etrailer will continue in future.



by:

Worked great ..fast delivery

Everything went well with the installation. Working with etrailer made things happen. Thanks etrailer.

The new brakes work well on my trailer. However, when I replace them next time I will spend the extra $$ to get the self adjusting version.

  • Replacement Brake Shoes and Screw for 6,000 lbs Electric Drum Brakes
    Thanks for the information Scott! The brake assemblies your Sundowner horse trailer uses are item # 23-105 for the left hand and item # 23-106 for the right hand. The replacement brake shoe you need is item # AKBRKR-S-12. These are sold individually so you'll need one per wheel if you're replacing both. Then for the screw you'll want the Replacement Brake Adjustment Screw Kit item # AKBRKR-AS-1012.

  • Correct Replacement Braking Assemblies and Hubs for a 2009 Airstream PanAmerica
    You're in luck Jim, we actually have a direct replacement for you. For the left hand assembly you'll want # 23-105, for the right hand you'll want # 23-106, and for the hub you can use # 8-201-5. These are going to be the exact same thing that's currently on your trailer, so the change out will be seamless.

    You're welcome Scott! For a 6,000 lbs self adjusting brake assemblies you will want the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes item # 23-458-459. If you need new mounting bolts and hardware item # BRKH12 will get you set up.

  • Replacement Brake Assemblies for 2005 Airstream Safari
    It looks like all models of the 2005 Airstream Safari used 12" x 2" brake assemblies regardless of the axle capacity. If you want standard brakes you can use the Dexter # 23-105-106. If you want the Nev-R-Adjust self-adjusting brakes then you need the # 23-458-459. I recommend going with the self-adjusting option so you don't have to worry about them once they're installed.

  • What is the Mounting Hole Pattern for Dexter 6K Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies
    The mounting holes are actually closer to 2-1/8 inches for the closest ones and 3 inches for the bottom 2 holes on brake assembly # 23-105 and # 23-106. I have included a picture showing the measurements. It is very close and you could call it 2 inches but the brakes fit a standard 5-bolt mounting flange such as # 4-44-1.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Brake Assembly that Locks Up One Wheel on Trailer
    Most likely it's a mechanical problem on the specific assembly that's locking up when you hit the brakes. If it was a short in the wiring they all would be locking up. Best option is to pull the hub off and inspect the assembly to see if you can find out what's wrong with the assembly and then replace/fix as needed. For an exact replacement for your assembly on the left hand side you'd want the part # 23-468. Also you should note that the Dexter self adjusting brake assemblies do not adjust...

  • Recommended Hub And Drum And Brakes For Tri-Axle Gooseneck Trailer With 7,000 Axles
    The hub and drums we offer for a 7,000 lb axle we offer all use 12 x 2 inch brakes. They also have an 8 on 6-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern. I have attached a link to the hub and drums we have that are designed for a 7,000 lb axle you can check out. If you do not have EZ-Lube axles I recommend part # 42866UC3. These come with the bearings, races, seal, grease cap, wheel bolts and lug nuts. If you do have EZ-Lube axles I recommend part # 42866UC3-EZ. These are the same hub and drum but have...

  • Replacing 12x2 Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies With Self-Adjusting Assemblies
    To upgrade your Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - 12" - Right Hand - 6,000 lbs # 23-106 to self-adjusting, you can use the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA you referenced or if you want to stick with the Dexter brand # 23-458-459.

  • Replacement Hubs and Electric Brakes for 2003 Airstream Classic Trailer
    Based on my research, the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-5 will replace the 3160121 drums on your 2003 Airstream Classic. This assembly is designed for 5,200 pound axles and features a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. I have attached an article on how to measure your bolt pattern so you can ensure this will be the correct fit. The hub uses # 25580 inner bearing and # LM67048. I also recommend verifying the bearings on your existing hubs so you can be sure this is a perfect match....

  • Are the Brakes that Come with the Dexter 6K Axle # 8327820-EB Self-Adjusting?
    While we do have the self-adjusting brakes you need to purchase, the # 23-106 and # 23-105 that come with the Dexter Trailer Axle - 6K # 8327820-EB are manual adjusting. In order to have the same setup with self-adjusting brakes, you need the following parts: - Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 6,000 lbs # 8327830 - Brake Mounting Bolt for 12" Brake Assembly # 7-5 - LocTite Hyper Lube # LOC54FR - Dexter 12" Hub/Drum # 8-201-5UC3-EZ - Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric...

  • Replacement Grease Seal for Hadco LA370R 6 On 5-1/2 Hub
    We don't offer a grease seal that would have the proper outer diameter to work with your Hadco Hubs, but we might have a solution that would allow you to upgrade your existing hub/drums so they're compatible with easily obtainable grease seals. If your Airsteam uses a standard 12 inch brake assembly like # 23-106, you can replace your hubs using # 8-201-5UC3-EZ which uses the readily available 10-10 grease seal. The hub/drum is compatible with the 25580 inner and LM67048 outer bearing...

  • Are All 5-Bolt Brake Mounting Flanges the Same
    Most 5-bolt brakes use flange # 4-44-1. That's not to say that there aren't some oddball or older styles that might have had a different 5-bolt pattern but the vast majority are going to use what could be considered as the standard. I included a picture showing the spacing between the bolts on the 5-bolt flange.

  • Recommended 7,000 Pound Timbren Axle-Less System for Forest River 5th Wheel Trailer
    The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # TASR7KS01 referenced in your question is designed to fit any frame width and can essentially be used as a universal application. This system will work very nicely to replace the axles on your Forest River Fifth Wheel Trailer. As you mentioned, these feature a weight capacity of 7,000 pounds and can provide a little more ground clearance because the 2 independent units can eliminate the need for a thru axle. I do recommend making sure that...

  • Replacement Electric Drum Trailer Brakes for a 10,000 Pound Wells Cargo Trailer
    The brakes on your Wells Cargo trailer could just be in need of adjustment. On drum brakes you will adjust the brakes so that there is a slight but constant drag of the pads on the drum when you turn the wheel. To see how to manually adjust trailer brake assemblies check out the video I attached, fast-forward to the 4:35 mark of the video. If the trailer has 2 axles then you likely have de-rated 6K axles (5200 pound axles). This size would be 12x2 inches. they mount to a 5-hole mounting...

  • Troubleshooting Brake Controller When Display Shows Trailer Is Disconnected
    You can troubleshoot your brake controller to see if there is a wiring problem. You can use a circuit tester like part # PTW2993 to check the blue wire at the back of the brake controller to make sure it has power present when the manual control is used. If you show no signal, the brake controller may be bad and need to be replaced. If you decide to replace the controller, I recommend the P2, part # 90885. This is our most popular because it is easy to install and operate. If there...

  • Should There Be Continuity In Brake Magnets
    You can definetly check the resistance of your trailer brake magnets. Depending on the trailer brake size you have, you are looking for a specifc range of Ohms. If you have 10 or 12 inch brakes you should see 3.0-3.8 Ohms, and if you have 7 inch brakes you should see between 3.8-4.0 Ohms. If the reading you are getting is outside of those ranges, you will need to replace your magnet. I linked all of our replacement magnets, or if you can tell me what size brakes you have I can recommend...

  • Replacement Electric Drum Brake Assembly to Replace Dexter 023-327-00
    Selecting a replacement electric drum brake assembly requires you to match a few characteristics of your existing assembly. The Dexter brake you referenced, part # 23-106, is a 12 x 2-inch right-hand (passenger side) electric brake with a 5-bolt mounting flange and an axle weight rating of up to 6000-lbs.

  • Which Brake Drum is Used with Dexter # 23-105 and # 23-106 Brake Assemblies
    There are hubs/drums available for the # 23-105 and # 23-106 brake assemblies. You'll want to go with a 12 x 2 drum, and you'll want to choose one that has bearing compatible with your existing spindle and a lug and bolt circle pattern that's compatible with your existing wheels. If you'd care to reply with your inner and outer bearing reference numbers and the number of lugs and the bolt circle of your wheels, I'd be happy to make specific recommendations.

  • Replacement 12 x 2 Electric Drum Brakes for Keystone Montana 5th Wheel
    We usually recommend replacing an entire trailer drum brake assembly, rather than individual parts like brake shoes, since the cost is not much more. This gives you a brand new complete brake and avoids the potential for having to tear them down again in the near future to replace another part. 5th wheel trailer axles rated for 7K do use the 12 x 2-inch size of electric drum brake and all such kits are shown on the linked page.
