Today we are going to take a look at Tekonshas self adjusting electric brake assembly, 12
for right hand side, part number 54801-007. The brake assembly is 12 by 2. We will measure
across the shoes, and theres our 12 mark. Then we will measure the width of the shoe,
and theres our 2 mark. When paired up with the assembly for the left hand side these
brakes are good for axels up to 7,000 pounds, they are also covered by a limited one year
warranty. The brake assembly uses a 5 bolt mounting pattern.
You are going to want to check your trailer axel, and make sure its the 5 bolt pattern.
Theres a pair of wires that will run to our magnet. It doesnt matter which wire you use
for ground and which wire you use for brake feed, just as long as you have a good electric
connection. This brake assembly is self adjusting, meaning that over time you wont have to go
back and adjust the brakes for proper tension. However, you will need to do that when you
first install the brakes to get them
set properly.
