• How to Tell Left and Right Side of a New Dexter Axle without Taking Off the Hubs or Brakes
  If you look at the backs of the brake assemblies there should be a hole where the magnet wires come out and a little opaque plastic strap. So if you are looking at the back of the assembly and those items are on the left then it is the left side (drivers side). If on the right then it is the right side (passengers side). Or if you are unsure look for the Dexter stamp on the back of the brake assembly. There should be a part number there and I could look that up and tell you if it is a...

• Parts Needed to Add Brakes to Dexter 3,500 lb Trailer Axle
  Thanks for all of the details on your axle as that makes picking out the correct components very easy on me! Since you have a Dexter 3,500 lb axle with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you'd need the hub/drum part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K which matches that perfectly and then the brake assembly set # 23-26 for the left hand side and # 23-27 for the right hand side. To wire up the assemblies you'll want to use 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 which we sell by the foot.

• Hub and Drum Assemblies and Spindles for Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes 23-112
  The brake assembly # 23-112 is rated for 6,000 pound axles, not 3,500 pound axles. For a 3,500 pound axle you will need to look at 10x2-1/4 inch brakes such as # 23-26 for the left side and # 23-27 for the right side. These mount to a 4-bolt flange, such as # 4-34 for 1-3/4 inch round axles, or # 4-35 for 2-3/8 inch round axles. Brake mounting flanges need to be installed by a qualified professional with experience welding on brake flanges because it is a precision job requiring special...

• What Information is Need to Find Parts to Switch from Hydraulic to Electric Drum Brakes
  We would need to know how big the current brakes are. 10x2-1/4 or 12x2 etc. Sometimes you can re-use the drums from hydraulic brakes for electric brakes, sometimes not.

I have added a link to a wheel page that shows you how to measure bolt pattern at the bottom. Wheel diameter is important as...

• Replacing Trailer Brake Assemblies for Axle with Dexter 36-22 Assemblies
  We do not have replacement shoes for the brake pads you sent in a picture of. But judging by it's overall appearance it's going to be way easier and better for you in the long run to replace those assemblies as they have seen better days. It's also typically about the same price to just replace the entire assembly and won't be quite as difficult either. For that you can use the brake assembly set part # AKEBRK-7-SA and you'll have an assembly for both sides of the axle.

• Brake Assembly Kit and Drum Recommendation
  So we are sure of fit, let's start with confirming your hub and drums fit your spindles before we look at the brakes. If those don't line up, we can't be sure you need a 10" drum to work with the # 23-26 and # 23-27 brake assemblies. For a 2,500lb axle like yours, we only have idler hubs so we won't have the hubs for you to install brakes but you will need to be sure of sizes before you buy brakes overall. To determine correct replacement hub size, you have to first determine which bearings...

• Spindle, Brake Assembly and Hub/Drum Recommendations for a 5 on 5 and 8 on 6-1/2 Bolt Pattern
  You will need to use two different spindles/hubs/brake assemblies for each set of wheels. Which would make sense since you plan on swapping to a different axle. Spindles aren't something that are easy to swap in and out so your best option would be two have two totally different axles. For the 5 on 5 setup you would want the spindle part # TRU74FR. For a hub and drum part # 84556UC3, and brake assemblies # 23-27 for right side and # 23-26 for left side. For the 8 on 6-1/2 setup you would...
