Video Transcript for Review of Dexter Trailer Brakes - Passengers Side Electric Brake Assembly - 23-455

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Dexter 10-inch, right hand passenger side manual adjust, electric trailer brake assembly for 4,400 pound axles. Now electric brakes are easier to install. They offer more user control than hydraulic brakes. And electric brakes require only an electric brake controller, which we do sell separately on our website. You don't have to have any brake actuator or hydraulic lines with electric brakes.

Now the brake shoes on this assembly, they are lined with an automotive grade friction material and that friction material is fully bonded. It's not riveted to the shoes so it gives you a lot longer life, more breaking torque. This assembly here is a manual adjustment brake. You can see at the very bottom is your adjustment wheel to adjust your brakes. It does require periodic manual adjustment.

Now this part is a 10 inch by 2 and a quarter inch passenger side, electric trailer brake assembly. So it's a right hand passenger side. And the way you can tell that, now when you get a brand new assembly, it'll have a sticker on it that'll tell you that. But if that sticker wasn't there, just a quick way to tell is if you look at the length of the pad on the brake shoe, this pad goes from here to here. This one goes from here to here.

So this is the shorter pad. The shorter pad is your primary shoe and that'll always face the front of the trailer. So that'll tell you that it goes on the right hand passenger side of the trailer. If you notice the mounting hardware's included, comes with the four nuts that you'll put this onto your four bolt brake mounting flange. Put your nuts on to tighten them down.

This part is made in the USA. A few specs, we mentioned the size of this assembly is a 10 inch by 2 and a quarter inch. And what that size means, the 10 inch is the diameter, which is measured from this shoe to this shoe. So if we put a rule on it, you can see there's your 10 inch diameter. And the two and a quarter inch is the width of the brake pad on the shoe. There's your two and a quarter inch width. Now the application for this assembly, it fits axles that are manufactured prior to May of 2009. Now this one will not work with the Al-Ko 4,400 pound axles due to clearance issues with the brake mounting flange. But it will work with the Lippert 4,400 pound axles regardless of the year manufactured. We mentioned four bolt mounting flange. I am gonna give you the measurement between those bolts so you know what you're getting. And they're actually the same if you measure them center-to-center horizontally and center-to-center vertically. So if we put a ruler on it you'll be able to see center-to-center 2 and 13/16ths of an inch. Vertically center-to-center also 2 and 13/16ths of an inch. Now the wheel size used on this is 14 inch to 15 inch wheels. Axle rating again is 4,400 pounds. Now these are electric brakes. You'll notice the two wires in the back here. These need to be connected. One of them goes to the ground, the other goes to the brake feed for power and they're the same color wire. So you can use either wire for either function. Now we mentioned this is the right hand passenger side assembly. We also sell the left hand driver side assembly and that's part number 23-454. And that's sold separately on the website and it is listed on this product page as a related product. But that should do it on the review of this Dexter 10-inch right hand, passenger side manual adjust, electric trailer brake assembly for 4,400 pound axles..
