10" x 2-1/4" Driver's-side and passenger's-side electric trailer brake assemblies fit 3,500-lb axles. Mounting flanges have a 4-bolt pattern. Nev-R-Adjust brakes require little maintenance. Fit 14" to 15" wheels.Installed these before taking a long trip up into the Colorado mountains. Amazing upgrade from my original brakes that kept locking up on me. Never having to manually adjust them is a big plus. Takes the guesswork out the picture.
Replaced obsolete Warner brakes with the Dexter brake kit. Installation was incredibly easy after watching the video
Original order took 30 days to complete. There was an issue with another item in the order which delayed my install. When I went to install these brakes after finally receiving the correct parts on the rest of my order, the left brake was defective. (Almost cut my hand on it) It has now been 2 weeks since I informed them of the defect. The replacement part still has not shipped. I placed a separate order on the very same day, those items came this week.

Not happy at all about this purchase.
I have done extensive troubleshooting on these brake assemblies but they just don't provide adequate stopping power for the empty trailer much less with a load. Tried multiple vehicles even put a better quality plug than the brand new chinese one from etrailer. Telephone support twice and still no helpful suggestions.
Jenny N - 01/21/2022Everything fit just right wired up just fine takes a little while to break these things in but once they start biting they work really nice I did a little bit more than just replace the brakes I did the shocks, springs and equalizer then re-painted everything underneath too,pretty much rebuilt the entire suspension sure makes a difference. I'm including some before and after pictures here they're probably out of order but them's the berries folks !
I was replacing the 20 year old electric brakes on my utility trailer and choose the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust electric trailer brake kit. The non Dexter brand cost less but after adding shipping and adding the nut kit they were the same as the Dexter brakes with free shipping and the nuts were included with the Dexter kit. This was one the easiest projects I have ever done. I had recently replaced the bearings so getting the brake drum off was a breeze. I used butt connectors with the heat shrink insulation wot connect the power to the bakes. I had thought this would be a two day project but did both sides in about 3 hours. And best of all, the new brakes function as they should, it was like I did not have electric brakes before. Again an easy and well worth it project.
Mitch M - 03/18/2019Excellent product. Had minor grinding to perform to weld on axle
Plates. Would recommend to everyone installing brakes on a trailer. Was very surprised to have the quick turn around time from ordering and receiving. Will definitely use etrailer in the future. Thanks
Sam M - 11/12/2021installation straightforward and fairly easy. Seem to be working well though I have used the trailer very litle since installation. Package came short one set of four nuts and two brake adjuster slot plugs.
Sierra K - 05/02/2022I ordered These Dexter brakes on Sunday and had them by Wednesday. These brakes are very good quality. They came fully assembled with mounting hardware, and fit perfectly. Installing these replacement brakes is a great solution to rebuilding old worn brakes.
Richard B - 03/21/2022Etrailer readily assist in finding the right parts for my repairs. These brakes were incredibly easy to install and work very well. I haven't used them long enough to know, but I hope the self adjusting feature works as good as on my other vehicles.
Bradford S - 04/14/2022These brake assemblies were an exact fit for my Dexter Axle. The kit came with everything needed to change it out, including the bolts to attach the brake backing plate. Very straightforward instructions. Fast shipping. I would recommend E-Trailer for any parts.
David - 05/15/2019The trailer brake assembly is working great. I put about 6500 miles on our lance camper last year and we are getting ready for another long trip this month. I think the assembly and new drums were the best fix in my case. Thanks again
Replaced the Axel Teknology made in China brakes that failed due to poor grease seals with Dexter brand made in USA. All parts made in a ISO 9001 facility. MAGA!
New brakes perform great.
Jim - 08/15/2019Up here in the Pacific Northwest, brakes will corrode and freeze up over the course of a few winters. These will restore original performance. Easy install takes an afternoon to complete, which for me included repacking the wheel bearings. Four stars instead of five because I wish the brake linings grabbed a little more aggressively.
Installation was very easy, I removed the old brakes and the new went right on. Use a torque wrench to tighten the nuts. I would do the initial adjustment by hand to save time. The self adjusting feature is great, they work well.
Fit is perfect. Chose to replace brakes with assemblies because trailer is 23 yrs old. Good call. The pain was getting old assemblies off. Had to cut fasteners with 4/12" grinder. New Assembly fits bolt pattern. Torqued backing bolts, repacked bearings, installed new grease seals (note buy separate) and took out for break in drive. Brakes work great. I've used assemblies in past and they are the way t go in my opinion.
Good prices. Order filled and shipped quickly. I had to repair the R side backing plate. The self adjust cable came off and one shoe was on improperly. The keeper for the magnet wires was missing, so I had to use one from my old backing plate. I think maybe that backing plate was a return. I don’t like giving a below average review but what it is.
Brooke M - 10/01/2021I recently started trying to figure out the parts that I would need for my trailer. When I contacted etrailer the folks there were very knowledgeable and new exactly what I needed to get me up and running again. I would recommend them for your trailer needs and will not hesitate to use them in the future!
I bought and installed Dexter self adjusting brakes on my 17 foot camp trailerabout a year ago. Installation was easy for someone like me with some auto mechanic skills. The brakes work well and I don't need to worry about periodically adjusting them.
Very helpful customer service. Installation was smooth and so are the brakes after about 100 mile wear in.
They get the job done. currently I have to have my brake control set at 7 vs the usual 5.5 but I most likely have a bad connection at the factory wiring
Number one quality parts. Had to replace the axle due to lack of lubrication of the wheel bearings. Love the concept and ease of keeping the wheel bearings supplied with fresh grease on the e-z lube axles.
One of the easiest brake jobs you'll have to do. Squirt a little WD40 on old nuts, or something similar, and let sit a while. Disconnect wires, undo nuts, pull assembly off. Put new assembly on, make sure they are on correct side( it matters, watch video). I ordered the nut and lock washer set, just to be sure. These came with just the nut, so you could get the washers separately. Tighten nuts to proper torque, as stated in directions, connect wires, and done. I also ordered the plug kit for adjustment window. You need two per side. These did come with them, but good for me that I ordered more, as one arrived chopped in half. Can't knock points off for that.
Easy to install and working great after a year. I love the self-adjusting feature! I could never get my old brakes adjusted right and it was obvious that they were not all carrying their fair share of the load when I replaced them.
I called etrailer with little knowledge of the parts I needed for my project. I changed my boat trailer from old surge hydraulic brakes to electric. With the expert help of Bryan W. I received all the proper parts from brakes to bearings. I’m super satisfied with the support and products. I will recommend etrailer to anyone looking for great service
