3,500 lbs. Trailer Axle Self Adjusting Electric Brake Kit 5-4.5" Bolt Circle

Work great! Uses Lucas red grease. Straight forward, but a bit messy, install. OEM replacement. One seal got smushed in shipping, even with heavy duty boxing, but supplier sent extras ASAP. Does not include wire splices/connectors. Don’t forget the break-in process, before hitting the open road. Love the self adjusting upgrade.

These were a breeze to install on my 10' Hallmark enclosed trailer. Popped off the old hubs, installed the backing plate, greased and installed the new bearings in the drums and mounted the drums on the spindle. All parts look to be of good quality and everything needed to install was included in the hardware kit, minus the wiring on the trailer. I'll add that adding the wiring to the trailer took longer than mounting these on the trailer axle.

The kit is a perfect fit for my Dexter 3500 axles. Makes for easy work to completely replace my brake components with minimal effort and works perfectly

Like the few other non-5-star reviews, my kit came missing some hardware. One of the backing plates didn't have any of the mounting studs installed or included, and no nuts to mount either of the backing plates were included. No big deal, just a trip to the hardware store and a couple bucks in nuts and bolts, but a little annoying when you're expecting a complete kit. Other than that, it was a nice kit and only took a couple hours to install, including wiring up the breakaway and battery on a trailer that previously did not have brakes.

So, the item is 100% as described. Fit well. And performance is well enough. I have a very heavy built 12 ft 3500lbs trailer and needed a solution to save my truck brakes. Apparently not all states require trailer brakes on smaller trailers and on top of saving my brakes I wanted to be compliant across the board. The only exception I have is everything is China. Which is fine considering we shoot ourselves in our own foot by killing these types of manufacturing jobs in the US. I dont have too many concerns with the product, however the bearings feel ultra cheap. And I feel that despite how well they are packed, I will see a failure with them sooner rather than later. Which I may just make a small upgrade to better ones sooner rather than later. And honestly, I have only put a hundred miles or so on this set up, so I still have some adjustments to make since I'd say it's safe to say the shoes are seated. But I will definitely check bearing play as well. It is nice having that piece of mind knowing what you're pulling is helping slow things down. I would recommend this product, its a great price, but I would caution about the cheap bearings and races. I think that would be a well worthwhile upgrade. Especially when you start pricing this stuff compared to the axle manufacturers. They want 200 per side just for baking plates and drums.

Perfect fit

This is an excellent kit that includes all of the needed parts that are guaranteed to fit together at a much better price than purchasing them individually. It was my first time doing this and after watching a couple YouTube videos the install was easy. I did run into one frustrating and time consuming issue with my Interstate Loadrunner cargo trailer with a Dexter 3500lbs drop axle. I can't adjust the brakes using the access hole on the back side of the assembly as the drop axle is in the way. I had to take the brake drum off, adjust it, put it back together and regrease. I had to do this about 5 times on each side.

Box came damaged. I know it's a heavy item. 2 studs for brake assy were loose in the box. Good thing they didn't fall out.

Kit arrived well packaged and complete. Race bearings were already pre-installed, bearings were packed with grease and installed, too. I've never installed brakes or done anything of the sort before, and the entire process took only 40 mins per wheel. Super simple bolt on/off. Brakes work great!

Perfect fit. Liked that the bearing came pre packed, and with 2 different cap lengths. Washers and new nuts for the axle would have been nice.

One of the brakes were missing nuts and lockwashers so I had to buy them separately. That wouldn't have been a big deal but when I went to remove the bearings so I could pack them in grease I couldn't get the rear seals out. I ended up using half of the new parts and half of my old assembly. Extremely disappointing as I could have saved a lot of money if I only ordered half the parts and not the whole kit.
