• 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.

• Adding Brakes vs. Replacing Axle on M105 Trailer
  Dexter left and right 12 x 2 electric drum brakes # 23-112 and # 23-113 include a parking brake and are rated for 6K axles. These use a brake flange with a 5-bolt mounting pattern; if you don't have these already they will need to be welded in place by a qualified welder with the correct jigs to align everything. They can be used with Parking Brake Kit # T2385200. These are compatible with most standard 12 x 2-inch hub-and-drum assemblies, including Dexter, Lippert (LCI), and AL-KO, such...

• Recommended 12" x 2" Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies With Parking Brakes
  I have another option for you, but unfortunately there is not a kit to add parking brakes to the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-7-SA you were looking at.

• Replacement Hub and Brakes for M101A2 Trailer
  I wish I could say for sure that the # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K fits but we don't have that information. You will have to identify the bearings on your M101A2 to confirm this. The hub assembly uses the # 25580 inner bearing and # 15123 outer bearing so if that is what you have now it will fit. The # 23-113 and # 23-112 will work with this hub and drum assembly. However, you will have to confirm that you have a 5-bolt brake flange on your axle.

• How to Select Trailer Brakes with Enough Stopping Power
  That sort of technical detail is not included in the specs for the trailer brake assemblies we sell. But in general using a set of brakes rated for the same weight as the axle capacity will provide adequate stopping power. 5200-lbs is a fairly common trailer axle weight rating and for this capacity the brakes specified are much larger, the 12 x 2-inch size such as # AKEBRK-7-SA, which is a pair of left and right electric drum brakes. The 7-inch brakes we offer are rated only to 2500-lbs. Dexter...

• 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.
