SEHNSUCHT 12" x 2" Electric Trailer Brake Set — 2 Left + 2 Right for 5200–7000 lb Axles, Manual Adjust

SEHNSUCHT 12-inch x 2-inch electric trailer brake set (2 left + 2 right) delivers a bolt-on, manual-adjust braking solution for 5200–7000 lb axles compatible with Dexter and similar hub patterns.

These 12" x 2" electric brakes from SEHNSUCHT are built for heavy trailers that require reliable stopping power and straightforward installation. The set includes two left and two right assemblies engineered for standard 5-bolt drum hubs and manual adjustment, providing a familiar layout for most service and replacement tasks. Designed for common axle ratings (5200, 6000, 7000 lbs), the assemblies use a time-tested mechanical design to respond quickly when the electric actuator is energized.

How do these electric brakes improve trailer stopping performance?

The SEHNSUCHT units use a traditional shoe-and-drum arrangement that translates electric actuator input into immediate friction on the drum surface. This produces controlled deceleration under load, helping slow the trailer reliably when the towing vehicle applies the brake circuit. They perform consistently across varied towing conditions when matched to the correct axle rating.

• Classic shoe-and-drum mechanics for proven response
• Manual adjusters allow correct shoe-to-drum clearance
• Matched left and right orientation for balanced braking
• Designed for 5200–7000 lb rated axles

Are these brakes compatible with my trailer axle and hubs?

These 12" x 2" assemblies are made for standard 5-hole hub patterns and fit many Dexter-style axles and similar manufacturers. They are intended for bolt-on replacement; mounting hardware is not included, so confirm bolt size and length before installation. Verify drum internal diameter and brake backing plate bolt spacing to ensure a correct match.

• Fits 5-hole hub patterns used by Dexter and comparable brands
• Suitable for axles rated 5200, 6000 and 7000 lb
• Bolt-on installation — bolts not supplied
• Manual adjuster style requires occasional re-tune for optimal clearance

What should I expect during installation and maintenance?

Installation follows conventional drum-brake replacement steps: remove the wheel and drum, swap the brake assembly, reconnect the parking-wire/electrical lead and torque the hub fasteners to spec. After installation, set the manual adjusters so shoes lightly contact the drum, and test the electric brake controller at low speeds. Periodic inspection of shoes, springs and wiring ensures continued reliable function.

• Replace one side at a time for reference during swap
• Adjust shoes until slight drag is felt on the drum
• Confirm electrical polarity and ground for actuator operation
• Inspect shoes and springs regularly for wear and corrosion

What is included and what customer support is available?

The package contains two left and two right 12" x 2" electric brake assemblies ready for bolt-on mounting. SEHNSUCHT provides post-sale support to address fitment or performance questions; contact support if any parts appear damaged or if you need fitment guidance. Replacement hardware and drums are typically purchased separately to match hub specifics.

• Packaged as a set: 2 left + 2 right brake assemblies
• Bolt-on design; mounting bolts are not included
• Customer service and after-sales assistance available
• Recommended to pair with matching drums and correct hub bolts
