Free-backing, passenger-side drum brake won't engage when you reverse, even if your actuator is activated. Automotive-grade friction pads and e-coated backing plate are long-lasting. Fits 13", 14", and 15" wheels.

Specs:
Note: Because free-backing brakes are designed to eliminate nearly all friction between the brake shoes and the drum when you are driving in reverse, a trailer breakaway kit will not be effective should your trailer disconnect from your tow vehicle while you are backing up.
Free-backing brakes let your trailer move in reverse without the brakes being activated by your surge actuator. These brakes are needed if your actuator does not have a reverse lockout, which is a mechanism that ensures that the actuator does not activate when your rig moves in reverse.
This free-backing hydraulic brake assembly has a fall-away shoe, which provides full braking when your trailer is moving forward, but supplies only limited friction when the trailer is moving in reverse. During normal forward braking, the fall-away shoe expands to catch your brake drum. When driving in reverse, however, the fall-away shoe's extra spring will overcome the pressure from the brake cylinder. This keeps the leading edge from catching on the drum, so the shoe will not fully pivot into the drum. This exerts a smaller amount of friction, just enough to provide a minimal amount of braking when in reverse.
This trailer brake assembly acts as part of your trailer's hydraulic braking system. A hydraulic trailer brake actuator is required for this brake to function.
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.
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.

Free-backing, passenger-side drum brake won't engage when you reverse, even if your actuator is activated. Automotive-grade friction pads and e-coated backing plate are long-lasting. Fits 13", 14", and 15" wheels.The AKFBBRK-35 L and R brake assemble is an excellent product. A very good product for the low cost compared to other products on the market. Excellent quality both in manufacturing and material. The hardest part in installing the new product was in getting the old parts off of the trailer. The new assembly bolted into place with no problem. Replacing the complete assembly is the best way to go rather than just replacing the shoes and brake cylinder and hardware. Sorry that I neglected to take a photo of the brake assembly installed but their performance was better than the original brakes which did not have the "free backing" feature. I feel much safer now when pulling a loaded trailer.
EXACTLY what I needed to fix my pontoon boat trailer! Only wish it had the 7/16" fine thread nuts included with it! Having a difficult time finding them out west here. But I will! Gr8 shipping too! Thank you etrailer! You guys rock!!!
Prompt service is much appreciated. Brakes came nicely packaged to prevent transit damage. Product looks to be be well made but I'm putting them on the shelf. Brakes aren't required so I converted the trailer back to brakeless. With 4 boat ramps within 10 miles brakes aren't worth the hassle. I did use the spindle seal set (15123 Inner Bearing & 1.980t Or 1.938 Bb) which fit perfect.
these guys are the best helpful, knowledgeable and fast. the best customer service experience i have ever had. 5 stars
Very well made and quick shipping
This is the way to go for break repair on your trailer complete new break from backing plate to drum for what it coast me last time in parts ( bearing, seals, shoes, cylinder rebuild kit) and took less time to install, have not towed yet but sure it will be great.
Excellent price, quick service
Had to replace 2 and upgraded to 4 for better braking and they have been great in 5000 miles. best price, free shipping and trouble free, what's not to like?
I had an excellent experience doing business with etrailer. The parts came in on time and really sooner than I expected. I received all the parts I ordered and they were very well packed. All phone calls with staff were very good and I plan to do more business with etrailer.
Thanks,

Handled the order professionally. Also handled a return the same way.
This brake drum was shipped and arrived in a couple of days. It was exactly what I ordered. I installed it and we will see how well it holds up.
I am changing trailer brakes from electric (I never know if they are working or not) to surge brakes. After calling to get information that was not clear in the on the website I ordered and received the necessary parts. The technical help on the phone was helpful and and the order processed and received promptly.
The brake shoe kit was perfect for my application. It was easy to use the website and it arrived right on time. I’ve used etrailer before and will use them again.
Good price,selection & great tech support,will check with this site first on trailer maintenance.
