Fit 14.5" to 16" wheels.Outstanding is the word that comes to mind regarding my experience with the brake kits that I received from etrailer!
I purchased a used Airstream and the brakes were toast.
I called etrailer and spoke to Joseph and he set me up with the kits I needed.
They arrived in 3 days with free shipping and I had all 4 installed in about 2.5 hours on a Saturday morning.
I would definitely do business with these guys again. It was painless!!!
Easy Peasy to install. Just need a chisel, snap ring pliers, and 36mm socket to get the drums off. (Never-Lube bearings) Then a 9/16" socket and some wire cutters to get off the backing plate. Be sure to get heatshrinking crimp-on connectors to reattach the wires behind the backing plate. Everything went together smoothly. Still need to tow the trailer and let the self adjusters do their thing, but it'll be awhile before our next trip.
FWIW we have an Airstream with about 50K miles on it and I replaced the brakes as a precaution. They actually still had many miles remaining on the linings and magnet.
Your Nev-R-Adjust Trailer Brake Kits are working great, but when it comes time to replace them, how do you release the shoes that have worn into the drums so that the hubs can be removed?
The product was as advertised and worked well. The packing on the other hand, was poor. Too large of a box and no packing material inside. The four boxes were loose and blew out the bottom of the packing box. UPS had to deliver the package upside down because of the condition of the box. Upon inspecting the parts I noticed brake shoes had become dislodged and I had to re-align them before installing.
Installation was easy. Initial adjustment was just like drum brakes on a car and after that I followed the instructions to get the self adjusting dialed up by repeatedly applying trailer brake from lower speeds. they are all adjusted and work great!
The parts came quickly and at a fair price, they did exactly what they were supposed to do. I am very happy with ETrailers staff and the info for the installation.
Excellent customer service, reasonable pricing, timely shipping and delivery,, and quality parts for the past 10 years of doing business with etrailer.com. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Kristy for the phone help and quick shipping.... E-Trailer is always my go to for our 5th wheel parts.... Jay
As usual with etrailer I ordered a much cheaper brake kit but that one was out of stock and back ordered. It’s frustrating cuz this seems to happen a lot with etrailer. The Dexter brake kits were top quality, bolted on easily and work great. They are made in USA which all of us should be more concerned with. The first product I selected was a chinese made product but the price was right. I am very pleased with the product it’s self, however coming out of pocket with almost $200 more for the the Dexter brakes was an unexpected cost. etrailer needs to stop selling products they do not have in stock!!
Sheryl was very helpful and knowledgeable in getting the right product to fit my Timbren suspensions. They were out of one of the Brake packages but she kindly split the order for us and got us what we needed asap while the other item is being restocked. Sheryl gets 5 stars from me!
The product was received 2 days earlier than originally estimated. This was largely due to Etrailer shipping the product on the same day that I ordered it. It arrived undamaged and was easy to install. The one problem that I encountered was trying to adjust the brakes using the star wheel. I found this to be impossible task. Upon contacting Etrailer, I was told to burnish the brakes. This indeed did the trick. Etrailer should include this tip in their installation video. It will save future installers time as well as reduce their frustation.
To be honest they ate still in the nox sitting in my shop. We are too busy to place the trailer putbof service and do the work. So as of Now they are looking great in the box.
I recently completed a brake upgrade on my trailer. The new Never Adjust Dexter Brakes went on flawlessly. I found the process to be straight forward. The self-adjusting feature was an upgrade from the previous brakes but bolted on with no issues. I like the idea of not needing to adjust brakes as the pads wear down. I needed all new brakes, this seemed like the best decision for replacements.
Had problems with regular braking systems applying enough breaking power, No matter how well you kept the brakes adjusted on the trailer the problem was still there I drive a 2021 Ford F-350 a 2015 f350 and a 2012 all with the same problem! Switched to the never adjust breaks and now they work great , this is on a 1990 Logan coach trailer I also have a 2010 platinum trailer with the same problem and will switch to the never adjust brake system on it also
This seems to be a Ford problem but Ford hasn’t been able to come up with a fix, no matter how high you set the brake settings you end up with the same problem very little braking power, was quite surprised and pleased to have the problem solved with the never adjust braking system, don’t know why they work and quite frankly don’t care
The brake kit is excellent. Very easy to install, and in my opinion, they are very good quality. The trailer has about 22,000kms since installation, and the brakes are still in great condition. Have used these before and would recommend these to anyone.
The delivery time of the brake kits exceeded expectations and the ease of installation of the product was fast and easy. The whole process made for a great experience.
This company does sell honest to God American Made Parts keep up the good work you Guy
Very nice brake set up. Delivered as stated. Installation was a snap.
Pre lubed hubs are the way to go. Just slide them on and set the tension.
One dust cap was dented in shipping or packaging? But did not defray from the product quality.
If a new RV isn't going to have disk brakes, then they should all come with these. Pretty straight forward replacement. I didn't get new drums, just had the old ones turned.
A reviewer on your site mentioned his grease seals leaking. Well that's just what seems to have been the problem on our trailer. Although the brake shoes and magnets were worn the real problem was the grease, I think from the previous owner pumping too much grease in after each use. I've replaced the brake units and inner seal on one axle(the front) and it should make quite a difference. Glad I went with original Dexter parts.
The installation when good.So far everything is working great.
The four bake units all
Looked good. I will be installing the this week on the trailer
The whole experience of ordering my replacement brake assemblies was awesome. Teresa did a fantastic job of figuring out which parts I needed. I would not hesitate to order parts from e-trailer in the future. The quality and fit-up of the Dexter brake assemblies made repairing my rv easier than I could have imagined. I am one happy camper. Thank you for an awesome consumer experience from start to finish.
It’s been a year and almost 5K miles on the new brakes. Absolutely no problems whatsoever. Will definitely purchase again when the time comes.
Super easy to install, very fast shipping and packaged well. I replaced all the brakes on my horse trailer, due to worn out wiring on the magnets, which was causing brake failure.
