• How Does Parking Brake Work on Dexter 12x2 Inch 6K Electric Brake Assemblies
  Dexter trailer brake assemblies # 23-113 and # 23-112 have a bracket, see picture, that you would attach a cable to. At the other end of the cable is a lever. When you pull the lever it pulls the cable that pulls the bracket and pushes the shoes out to make contact with the drum. These brakes are not self-adjusting.

• How Much Power Does a 10 Inch Trailer Brake Assembly Draw
  On a 10 inch brake assembly such as # 23-468 the magnet draws 3.2 to 4 amps at 12 to 13 volts. There are actually trailer brakes that have a parking brake feature such as # 23-113 that you can use with kit # T2385200. With this set up you would be able to manually set the brakes without worrying about battery drain. The only issue is in electric drum brakes assemblies that have a parking brake feature only come in 12 inch assemblies # 23-113 and # 23-112.

• Recommended Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brakes for a 6,000 lbs Dexter Axle

  Hello William. The Dexter 6K brake assemblies will come from the factory with a 3/16" thick brake shoe. Dexter recommends replacing them at 1/16" thick.

If there is a sticker or model number on the backing plate I should be able to cross...
