Great. Product as advertised. Fit perfectly. Always use etrailer. Thanks again.



by:

Order was received timely. I had questions regarding a possible design change going from two spring to single spring. I contacted customer service and they replied swiftly. Not being sure of the answer the customer service rep. Conner contacted the manufacturer to determine proper answer. All is good , apparently Dexter has changed from 2 spring to single spring at the top. The attached pictures show what I am referring to. Look at the wiring in the faulty picture. Of course pulling the hub was my last thing I looked at. Hence why I was getting a ground short and no brakes.
etrailer customer service get A+++



by:

I had the brake lining shatter off of one of the shoes. This happened within the first 100 miles after putting the new brakes on. Tore the drum up beyond repair. Working on getting the brakes replaced under warranty but I had to ship them the parts back first. Trailer is up on blocks until then.



by:

Fast and easy install



by:

Product was an exact fit. Much easier than fighting springs and hold downs even with the right tools. It took about 45 min. per wheel start to finish. Etrailer was very helpful when ordering parts.



by:

I have had this item installed for approximately one year on our 42 foot, 18,000 pound 5th wheel. It was easy to install and set up and has worked flawlessly ever since. We have put over 6,000 miles on the 5th wheel since the installation. I will definitely buy again if the need arises.

Its been another year and the parts are still functioning flawlessly.



by:

Ordered lots of parts on Monday, received most of them by Thursday. The received parts were well packaged and undamaged. A few of the parts they didn't have in stock so they had those drop-shipped to me which should be delivered in the next couple of days.
No supplier I have ordered any parts from has such a great technical reference web site or personal customer support. Yea, Rebecca - Well Done! Yes, I'm very happy with the pricing.
Thanks for your great support and I look forward to doing business with them again. More info to follow as soon as I can get the parts installed on my trailer.



by:

Christina J thanks for all your help the brake assembly was delivered extremely quick and installed easily!



by:

OEM Dexter parts well worth the cost. Brakes are very important in the scenarios I use my trailer. You definitely feel 6 brand new brake setups behind you! etrailer kept me well informed through the process on order status. Shipping was quick. Will be shipping etrailer for any of my trailer stuff going forward.

Very well Etrailer came thru with the parts ias in dire need of in a timely manner. I needed brake assembliies and drums for my 5th wheel Etrailer researched and very quickly got me the needed parts Not all parts were Dexter but that was expained to me. And the substitues worked very well. I will be a returning customer for sure ss they were very helpful while ordering and thru checkout.



by:

I was worried about putting brakes back together, this is an easy repair with only 5 nuts to put on and rewire. Information on getting the right or left brake was very good and made this an easy project.

I traded last summer for a new one but the brakes worked just fine.



by:

I had a dragging brake. When I disassembled, found bottom adjuster was dislodged and unattached spring. Magnet was very much melted. I reassembled the brake assembly good enough to travel to final designation. I ordered this brake assembly, p/N 23-465 for passenger side forward axle and it fit perfectly. I've driven approximately 3,000 miles since repair without issue. I highly recommend this product and company



by:

Great price for a complete brake replacement. Way easier and not much more than just replacing the shoes. I upgraded from the 6000# that were on my fifth wheel to these 7000# ones. Also like the self adjusting feature.



by:

Fast shipping,
Product just as described.

Thanks etrailer for excellent service,and pricing.

Brake assembly failed again, would not recommend dexter self adjusting brakes 2nd set that was completely destroyed. Replaced with manual adjustment assembly.



by:

eTrailer shipped the product the same day and I received these assemblies 2 days later. Great service!

Very easy product to install. Looking forward to getting my trailer on the road and test them out. Keep in mind you'll need to purchase the plugs for the backplate as the old ones usually are bridle and probably won't seal out the elements.



by:

Arrived in good condition. All new parts and easy to install. Only concern was that the wire to the magnets on the inside might get rubbed against by other parts or get pinched. I slipped small plastic hose over wires as extra protection. Be sure and follow instructions and and adjust brakes after installing hubs.



by:

Replacement for 6000 lbs. original equipment brakes. Hoping for more stopping power as I usually tow near the limit of the trailer.
Installation was easy and straight-forward.
First impression is not much different but of course new brakes need to be burnished. The effectiveness is sure to increase. Overall happy :)

  • Trailer Brake Assemblies that Fit Older Axles that are 12 inch in Diameter and Attach with 5 Bolts
    Based on the dimensions you listed the etrailer.com brake assembly kit part # AKEBRK-7-SA would be your best option. It is 12 inch by 2 inch and has the 5 bolt mounting pattern. I attached a picture that shows the dimensions of the bolt pattern for you to check out as well.

  • Trailer Hub & Spindle For 7,000 lb Axle With 12 Inch Electric Brakes
    First, thanks for all that detailed information, it was very helpful. And we can get you parts for your trailer, though the issue is that there isn't an available hub for your spindle due to what you mentioned - the uncommon 501349 bearing, which is for older agricultural spindles. There also isn't a 7,000 lb-rated hub with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern to go with your 7k-rated Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # 23-464 and # 23-465. So what that means is you'll have to...

  • What Hub/Drums Are Recommended for Timbren 3,500 lb Axle Less System
    The Timbren 3.5k Axle Less System part # ASR35HDS02 that you referenced does require higher capacity hubs than what you currently have. For a hub/drum that is the same as your current hubs you would want the part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ. This hub comes with the correct fitting bearings for the Timbren axle spindle. For brake assemblies you would then want the part # 23-465 for the right hand side and part # 23-464 for the left hand side.

  • Replacement Trailer Brake Assemblies for Dexter 7k Automatic Adjusting Assemblies
    The brake assemblies you have are Dexter 12 inch assemblies with a 7k capacity. That means the current part numbers you would want are # 23-464 for the left hand side and part # 23-465 for the right hand side. The part # 23-464-465 that you referenced actually is both of these assemblies kitted together.

  • Replacement Hubs and Trailer Brakes For Dexter 7000lb Axle On New Big Tex Dump Trailer
    Based on the serial number you provided my contact at Dexter was able to confirm that your axle uses the following components: Inner bearing # 14125A Outer bearing # 25580 Grease seal # RG06-070 Braking Assemblies Left # 23-464, and Right # 23-465 Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-219-13UC3 which includes the bearings, races, grease seal, grease cap, and lug nuts needed. I included videos for the products mentioned for you to take a look at.

  • Will Dexter Brake Assemblies Fit on a Lippert Axle
    You will have no problem using a Dexter brake assembly on a Lippert 7K axle. We have installed several Dexter brake assemblies on Lippert axles at our shop. Lippert and Dexter use the same standard mounting pattern and brake sizes. If you want standard brake assemblies, you could go with the Right Hand brake # 23-181 and the Left Hand brake # 23-180. I recommend stepping up to the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust brakes, # 23-465 and # 23-464. The cost difference is very minimal compared to the standard...

  • Replacement Brakes Needed for a #12 Dexter Torsion Axle
    Thank you for the picture! I gave my contact at Dexter Axle the serial number off of your tag and he said that the replacement brakes for your #12 torsion axle include part # 23-180 for the left hand side and part # 23-181 for the right hand side. If you would like to upgrade to the Nev-R-Adjust brake assemblies then you would need part # 23-464 for the left hand and part # 23-465 for the right hand. The advantage to the Nev-R-Adjust assemblies is that you don't have to manually adjust...

    I was able to cross reference the Dexter part number 031-17-02 to a # 14125A bearing and part 031-030-02 to a # 25580 bearing, and we do have these replacement parts with a grease seal in a complete kit for you. For a replacement bearing/race/seal kit, you'd use part # BK3-200, which includes the 14125A outer bearing, the 25580 inner bearing, the 10-36 grease seal and a replacement cotter pin. We do also have replacement hubs as part # 8-219-13UC3 and replacement self adjusting brake...

  • Can Manual Adjusting Brakes Be Swapped out for Self-Adjusting Brakes
    Yes, the self-adjusting version of the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly part # 23-181 is the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly part # 23-465. This assembly is for the right hand side and if you need the left hand side you can use part # 23-464 or part # 23-464-465 for both right and left hand side. The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit has self-adjusting brakes meaning you do not have to turn the adjuster screw for even brake pad wear after the initial...

  • Replacement Grease Seal and Bearing Kit For a 2020 Grand Design Solitude 375RES With 7,000LB Axles
    Your Dexter axle on your 2020 Grand Design Solitude does use the Grease Seal # GS-2250DL. This seal is also found in our Bearing Kit # BK3-200 which I do recommend keeping on hand incase you have an issue while on the road. The kit contains the Seal # GS-2250DL, Inner Bearing # 25580, Inner Race # 25520, Outer Bearing # 14125A, and Outer Race # 14276. We also have the Spindle Nut Kit # RG05-100 in the event the nut, washer and retainer are somehow damaged. The Seal Puller # PTW1219 and...

  • Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brakes Not Working on Camper
    The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Assemblies, such as # 23-465, require an initial adjustment, as you have done already. You are correct in your question when you stated that you will want to simply turn the wheel backwards on the brake assembly until you get just a slight drag. I have attached a video demonstration on the initial setup for these assemblies that you may find helpful. I recommend pulling the hub on your trailer to make sure everything is still properly in place with...

  • Difference Between the Two Types of 12x2 7000 lb. Brake Assemblies
    The difference between the two brake assemblies comes down to one being self adjusting and one that is manually adjusted. I recommend the self adjusting because you will never have to crawl under the trailer to adjust the brakes. This can be a headache and we tend to not do it as often as we should which leads to poor performing brakes. With the self adjusting it automatically tightens as the shoes wear down keeping your trailer's braking performance optimized and working as safely as...

  • Troubleshooting Self-Adjusting Brakes Locking Up
    I can help you try and figure out why your Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly like parts # 23-465 and # 23-464 are locking up and there are a multitude of reasons. When this happens it is often an electrical issue or the brake magnets so check out your 7-way to ensure there is no corrosion which will be white or green which may be hampering the functionality of your brakes; if so, clean as necessary and that may resolve the issue. Next, you need to use Digital Multimeter...

  • Dexter Brake Assembly Recommendations to Replace Part Number 023-357-00
    The Dexter part number 023-357-00 is a 12x2 electric brake assembly. The correct RH assembly to use to replace what you have would be the part # 23-459 and for the LH assembly you would want the part # 23-458 if you have 6K axles. If you have 7k axles you would want part # 23-464 for the LH side and part # 23-465 for the RH side.

  • Replacement Self Adjusting Brakes for B12E-01 Axletek-12-GG Electric Brake Assembly
    You can use the # AKEBRK-7-SA to replace your existing Axletek brakes and they'll work well for you. This is a self adjusting set of brakes and will fit on your existing hubs; you'll also need brake mounting hardware, which is available with part # BRKH12S. If you wanted to go with the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust brakes, those are available with parts # 23-465 (RH) and # 23-464 (LH). I've linked a short review video of these brakes for you to have a look at.

  • Does the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Trailer Brake Kit Come As a Pair
    Not a dumb question at all! Brake assemblies like the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 7K # 23-464-465 are either sold in matching pairs or as single brake assemblies for either the left or right side of the trailer # 23-464 (left) or # 23-465 (right). This particular kit is sold as a pair, so if you have tandem axles on your 2014 Grand Design Solitude 305re you'll want to order 2 of these brake kits. Additionally, these brake kits...

  • Replacement Grease Cap Plugs, Bearings and Brakes for 2005 Big Tex 14GN Trailer

We do offer replacement bearings, bearing kits and brake components as well. Complete bearing kits for 7K axles can be seen on the link provided. Both use inner bearing 25580 and outer bearing 14125A. Kit # BK3-210 includes a seal with an I.D. of 2.125-inches and kit # BK3-200 uses a seal with an I.D. of 2.250-inches. Individual bearings...

  • Replacement 12 inch Brake Assemblies for Trailer with 8 Lug Rims
    Based on the info you gave me we can get pretty close on what weight capacity your axles are. The capacity is important so that you get brakes that are properly rated. It looks like you have axles that are 5,200-7,000 lb rated. For replacement assemblies that are self-adjusting and would work great the part # 23-459 for the right hand side and part # 23-458 would be an excellent option for if you have a 6k rated axle. For 7k instead you would need the part # 23-465 and # 23-464 instead. Up...

  • Are New Brake Drums Required When Installing New Dexter Brake Assemblies

  • Electric Trailer Brake Assembly Recommendation for 6K or 7K Axles with 8 Lug Bolt Pattern
    The Dexter 6K and 7K axles are very similar to each other, so it can be difficult to determine their capacity just by looks. Dexter axles typically have a specs plate near the center of the axle, but there is a chance that it could have come off. The next place I would look for an indication of the axle capacity is the identification plate on the tongue of the trailer. There should be a plate that lists the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) and Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR). That should...

  • Recommended Axle and Suspension Upgrade for Converting Pop-Up Camper to Stand-Up Tear Camper
    In order to put a heavier suspension on your trailer you will need an axle, leaf springs, hangers, spring seats (if you need to move them), suspension bolts, U-bolts/U-bolt plates, and shackle straps (if you want a double-eye leaf spring). You will need to start with the axle, which will require the hub face to hub face dimensions of your current axle. While the spring seat to spring seat measurement can be helpful, it is possible to remove the spring seats and weld on new ones if necessary....

They have the best reputation because they are designed well and use high quality components. You really can't beat Dexter's axle components.
