Absolutely OUTSTANDING!!!!!
Excellent product, and super easy to install! Comes with all hardware needed. Only thing I upgraded was the cotter pin to match the thickness of the factory cotter pin. Otherwise everything else was very good quality. Have grease ready for the new bearings, this kit does not come with any. I like how it comes with both spindle caps. Personally, I used the easy grease caps with the rubber covers. No complaints whatsoever. Drove one short lap in the subdivision, and the auto adjust did it's job. Nice firm and even braking. Put it in neutral from 10mph, and the trailer stopped everything within a few feet. Definitely does it's job and exactly as advertised for a GREAT PRICE!!

Works Good
Everything Fit Good. All the parts were there and they even included some extra nuts and washers. Nothing arrived damaged. I replaced the original manual adjust brakes on a dexter axle with these self adjust. I took the trailer out for a short trip maybe 30 minutes and repeatedly applied the brakes for them to adjust. It went from not noticeable braking in the beginning to stopping pretty good near the end. I think they will adjust more as I drive it so looking forward to having good brakes. The original dexter brakes never worked good, even when new. These seem to be built better. I'm satisfied with the purchase and would recommend. I also replaced the bearings and races in the other axle and replaced and balanced the tires. Overall it's been a much more pleasant towing experience with the new parts.

Parts Arrived Fast and were a direct fit.
I bought new brake assemblies, hubs, drums, and bearings for my trailer. All parts arrived faster than the Amazon estimate which was nice. All parts were a direct fit to my trailer. Make sure to verify bolt pattern size on trailer wheels as these come in 4.5”, 5.0”, and 5.5” sizes.The only complaint I have is one of the grease seals came bent and unusable. I contacted the seller and they sent a new one right away. Other than the inconvenience of not being able to finish the trailer sooner it turned out okay.

EASY INSTALL
I AM A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC WITH 50 YEARS OF LEARNING. THEREFORE I EXPECTED SOME SORT OF OH NO. BUT IT WAS RIGHT THE OPPOSITE. IT WENT REALLY WELL AND EVERYTHING NEEDED WAS IN BOX.

Worth every dollar!
Every single thing you could need! Packaged excellently. The value and ease of installation make this kit a 'no brainer'.The included bolt pattern ruler should be a pre-sale item!!!! it will make those unsure of how to measure bolt patterns feel more confident.

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
The product is fine. Not the best, not bad. Customer service is horrible. HORRIBLE!!

It's all there!
All you add is grease and these bolt on to the existing bracket on the axle. Comes with drum, bearings, washer and castle nut. There's no shortage of videos you can find as this is certainly a DIY job if you're being proactive. I added brakes to the rear axle only per some advice on a forum. They add weight to the trailer if you're adding them and that counts towards GVW. States may have requirements as to how many you must have. My trailer had broken a spring in a very unfortunate place so the task of replacing the old hubs with these new brakes was made much more difficult than this needed to be. Get your trailer off the ground, supported safely, and level and you'll have these on in no time. Have a long thin flat blade screwdriver for setting the brake tension. I haven't wired mine and set the brake controller yet. Maybe I'll come back and update this review.
