Self-adjusting driver-side electric brake is 12" x 2". Brake pads are made of durable friction material for improved braking and longevity. E-coated backing plate resists rust. Fits 14-1/2", 15", 16", 16-1/2" wheels.


Features:

  • Electric brakes are easier to install and offer more user control than hydraulic brakes
    • Requires only an electric brake controller (sold separately) - no actuator or hydraulic lines necessary
  • Automotive-grade friction material is molded to brake shoes
    • Pads are fully bonded - not riveted - to shoes for long life and more braking torque
    • Less chance of cracking and crumbling that can lead to mechanical lockup, thanks to tapered edge and circular grinding
  • Self-adjusting brake does not require periodic manual adjustment like standard brakes
    • Fine-tooth brake adjustment gear allows for a more precise setting
  • E-coated backing plate resists wear and corrosion
  • Adjuster plugs (included) cover access holes to keep dirt and grime out of the assembly and off of the shoes
  • Mounting bolts and hardware (BRKH12S) sold separately
  • QAI and CSA certified


Specs:

  • Application: most standard hub-and-drum assemblies, including Dexter, Lippert (LCI), and AL-KO
  • Configuration: left hand (driver's side)
  • Dimensions: 12" diameter x 2" wide
  • Mounting flange bolt pattern: 5 bolt
  • Wheel size: 14-1/2", 15", 16", and 16-1/2"
  • Axle rating: 5,200 lbs, 6,000 lbs, and 7,000 lbs
  • Limited 1-year warranty


Self-Adjusting Brake Doesn't Require Routine Adjustment

Standard electric brake assemblies require manual adjustment of the brake shoes over time to provide longer-lasting and more efficient braking performance. With self-adjusting brakes, the brake shoes are always properly aligned, so there's no need to manually adjust the brakes after the initial adjustment. As a result, you get optimum performance without having to take the time to continually perform this type of maintenance.


Thoroughly Tested for Safety

This brake assembly meets the requirements for certification by the Canadian Standards Association (CSA). The CSA creates standards, which when complied with ensure a safe and quality product. This brake assembly underwent extensive testing to measure stopping distances when braking. This brake has also been tested by QAI for braking performance in a complete automotive setup and under real-world conditions to provide the most realistic scenario for the everyday driver.


Automotive-Grade Friction Material

Each shoe on this brake assembly is lined with automotive-grade friction material for improved stopping performance and longevity. The friction material is fully bonded onto the surface of the brake shoe. This lining is custom-molded for a perfect fit. The edges are tapered to ensure long-lasting performance. This taper, along with the circular grinding that the lining undergoes, helps to prevent cracking and crumbling. This durability helps to prevent mechanical lockup, which can occur when brake shoes are excessively worn or broken.


The friction material is also SAE-N certified, which means that it is an environmentally safe product that complies with California and Washington regulations regarding the composition of brake pads. As a result, this material not only provides high-performance braking that can endure the test of time, but it is also environmentally friendly and safe for use throughout the United States and Canada.

My last order was for my fifth wheel camper. When I called I was unsure of the part numbers. However you guys had enough information and told me what i needed and it was correct. Everything came in on time with no issues. I believe this is the second or third time I’ve used you guys and it’s always been the same. Great product great people to talk to which is sometimes hard to get.
Thank you y’all for the great service and as I need more I will come to you.



by:

They were packed in paper in a big box. Packaging was very poor! The UPS guy dropped the box hard on the front porch and damaged one or 2 of the brake assemblies. I will have to determine which are good and which are damaged...



by:

I'm probably not the best mechanic that there is but these brake assemblies were very easy to install,it probably took me about an hour per wheel to install,great service from a person named Michelle that helped me to get them shipped quickly,thanks, I would definitely recommend this company for all of your trailer parts....

Doing just great have only pulled our trailer about 6,000 miles and no problems



by:

A great product and as always super great service from Etrailer support team. I know they will always do there best to make sure your order is correct and is shipped on time.



by:

Good product for the price. I've used these brakes on multiple trailers.



by:

To team etrailer,
So far,so good. The
complete units were easy to install, although some of the brake assembly units were out of place and had to be reset from shipping and ruff handling. Here are some pictures of the 44 ft pace rig. We have already recommend you to many of our peers. We travel to about 20 events per year and in all kind of traffic conditions, we will let you know how they slow down the unit.
Thanks Al and Matt

by:

Although trailer is not on the road yet the brakes are a exact match and mounted perfectly.



by:

Product arrived quickly, easy to install. I put them on all 4 wheels of our 5 wheel camper. It was cheaper and easier to do it this way than to replace shoes and magnets.



by:

always helpful



by:

Ordering parts was easy. Chat people were very helpful and communications was top shelf



by:

Our Flat bed trailer can do some pretty heavy work however we do not use this trailer all the time.
When the brakes failed we ordered from etrailer and the parts came in and we installed them without much ado.
Thank you for having all the parts we needed. After a year of seldom but heavy usage the self adjusting brakes are still working splendidly.



by:

Product is great and easy to set up however the packaging from which it was sent as was a little less desirable from my seals getting dented and brake assemblies where thrown around in box with tears in box but all should be usable

Oh no. So, I have looked into the notes on your order and it looks like only one was ordered. Awe man, I am so sorry that this happened. Let's get another one ordered and sent out to you right away. I have sent your information over to customer service for them to get this taken care of; you should hear from them within the next 24-48 hours. When you finally receive the rest of what you need, I would love to hear your updated feedback for your project.

I purchased the brake assemblies last spring but did not get around to installing on our 5th wheel trailer this past fall. Packaging was sufficient & all parts were there & in place on the backing plates.The install went well, brakes are working good.I looked up online a brake in procedure for the shoe assemblies & followed it which helped out after the install.Overall I'm pleased with the price of the product,the service from etrailer aswell.

Brake assemblies working great,I like dealing with etrailer.Also good information from reps.



by:

Brakes work great, shipping was fast, customer service when placing order was very knowledgeable and helpful.



by:

The brakes on my 2002 Komfort 24-TS trailer were completely shot. I needed to replace the drums (cheaper than having them turned). I also needed to replace the electric brake assemblies and to upgrade them from manual to automatic adjusting. I called etrailer.com a couple of times to make sure I was ordering the rights parts and the phone reps were very helpful and courteous. The parts arrived on time and in good shape. I had everything I needed to complete the job. It took me all day to do all 4 wheels but I saved myself a whopping $1,000 over having the shop do the job.

Fantastic!

Great replacement. Perfect fit.

Awesome service.



by:

I don't usually do product reviews but wanted to post this one. This was my first purchase from etrailer. I purchased all four brake assemblies for our 5th wheel which I felt was the easiest and best way to go and had my drums machined. It was a very easy transaction, the parts came quickly and fit as they should. Very pleased with the product although I have not put the trailer on the road yet.
BUT- The packaging was very poor. The assemblies were in a carton twice as big as it needed to be without adequate packing and the items rattled around to the point that two shoes were knocked out of place on the backing plates. I was able to correct it and no damage done, this time. Please improve your packaging.
I would definitely buy from etrailer again.

Bought this backing plate to replace grease soaked brakes on Lippert 2016 7000 lb. axle. Since no one sells just the brake linings, I had to buy the whole assembly. Exact match of the Lippert backing plate. Very easy to replace.

After about 7000 miles still working good

Easy to install.
When seals fail they
send grease all over the brake asy.

This was easy fix



by:

Quick service and exactly what I needed!



by:

They work like advertised and are of good quality, I haven't had them long enough to to know about the self adjusting feature but it looks just like all the rest so I don't know why it wouldn't work. Thanks for getting them to me so quickly.



by:

They fit just like original equipment. Could not imagine doing brakes on a trailer a different way. I don't know how they can sell these brake kits this Cheap !!!!!

  • Recommendation on Brake Assemblies and Drums for the Timbren Axle-less Suspension
    For the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension, # ASR35HDS02, Timbren recommends the Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly, # 8-201-9UC3-EZ. These Dexter hubs measure 12 inches in diameter and 2 inches wide and have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. These hub assemblies include the E-Z Lube dust cap that will allow access to the E-Z Lube grease Zerk in the Timbren spindles. This comes pre-greased. I recommend the etrailer hubs, # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. These hubs have all the same features that you will get...

    The Electric Trailer Brake with Dust Shield - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-8R have an 8,000 lb capacity and measure 12-1/4 inches in diameter and 3-3/8 inches wide so that is the dimension your drum would need to be. These fit a 4-bolt mounting flange such as # 4-50 and would require Mounting Hardware # BRKH122508. If you have 12 inch drums there are options for that, the Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-7L-SA (Left) and # AKEBRK-7R-SA (Right) which are 12 inches in...

  • Will etrailer/AxelTek 12 x 2 Electric Brakes Fit a 1956 Shasta Trailer
    On 12 x 2 electric brake assembly # AKEBRK-7L-SA the holes are spaced 2-1/8 inches apart on center except for the bottom 2 holes. The bottom 2 are spaced 3 inches apart on center. These brakes could potentially work for you provided that the hub and drum assemblies take standard drum brakes. If not then you would also need to replace the hub/drums. For that I would need to know the inner and outer bearing numbers and the bolt pattern, see link. If you find the brake assembly will work...

  • Is There a Difference Between Brake Assembly Replacement for Dexter Nev-R-Adjust 23-459
    The only difference between those parts is the part number - they are the exact same brake assembly. The Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Right Hand # AKEBRK-7R-SA would be a perfect replacement for the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - 12" - Right Hand # 23-459.

The Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-7-SA is just both of the right and left side brakes added together in one kit, instead of finding one of each.

    Thanks for the pictures and measurements! Since your hub uses inner bearing # 25580 and outer bearing # LM67048 you will need to go with six of the Bearing Kit # BK3-310 if you are wanting to reuse your hubs, and if you are needing new hubs you will need the Dexter # 8-201-5 along with the above bearing kit.

  • Difference Between etrailer and Dexter Electric Brake Assemblies
    Etrailer Electric Brake Assemblies like the 12", Self Adjusting # AKEBRK-7R-SA referenced in your question are different than Dexter Brake Assemblies such as # 23-459. The biggest difference is the brake pad material used. Etrailer brake pads use thicker material, and while most pads are "snapped" during the production process, the pads on etrailer's assemblies are cut. This ultimately results in a cleaner, crack free edge that will help extend the life of the brake pads. The matching...

  • Brake Flange Needed to Install 12 Inch Brake Assemblies With 5 Bolt Mounting Holes
    The brake flange that you referenced, # 4-44-1, can be welded on 3 inch axles. The brake flange will allow brake assemblies with a bolt pattern of 5 on 3-7/8 of an inch to be mounted. The brake flange will work with 7,000 and 7,200 lbs axles. If you are looking for brake assemblies to mount to the flanges, then I recommend the trailer brake assembly # AKEBRK-7L-SA left side and # AKEBRK-7R-SA right side. These brake assemblies will fit the 5 hole bolt pattern on the brake flanges....

  • Self Adjusting Electric Brake Assemblies for a 2017 Grand Design Reflection 30 BH 5th Wheel
    I know that has to be frustrating but the prices are determined by an algorithm and not set by someone. This causes price discrepancy's in similar products some times. We have the same brakes sold as a set the etrailer Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K item # AKEBRK-7-SA. These currently have a comparable price as the separate left side item # AKEBRK-7L-SA and right side item # AKEBRK-7R-SA.

These brakes need to be adjusted when installed originally and then the self-adjusting system will take over and ensure you have proper braking within the assembly.

  • Why Replacing Brake Assemblies Makes More Sense than Replacing Trailer Brake Shoes
    Due to a few factors it's going to be a better option to just replace the brake assemblies with new ones. Biggest reason is that the price difference between new assemblies and shoes is pretty small so you would end up with all new components for about the same price. Second reason is the replacing the shoes is quite a bit more difficult than just installing new assemblies. Finally, often times it's hard tracking down exact replacement shoes. For assemblies it would make the most sense...

  • Locating Replacement Hubs and Brake Assemblies for 2014 Keystone Cougar Trailer
    We have everything you need to replace the hub and brake assembly on your Keystone Cougar Trailer, but unfortunately trailer manufacturers do not keep an accurate or readily available record of the smaller parts that they install on trailers. Because of this, the best method for determining which hub will fit your trailer is to simply pull the hub and check for the bearing numbers that are used. The numbers should be stamped right onto the bearings themselves. If you cannot locate this...

This axle-less system has a built in suspension and brake flange. The deflection or suspension travel is 2-3/4 inches. This axle-less system is nice in that it gives you more clearance in-between your wheels. For this system, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb Axles - 6 on...

  • Why Are Dexter Trailer Brake Assemblies More Expensive
    The higher cost of Dexter electric brakes like the Nev-R-Adjust # 23-459 definitely has a lot to do with their name.
