Video Transcript for Comprehensive Review: Replacement Trailer Brake Magnet for Dexter Electric Brake Assemblies

Jeff Hello everybody, this is Jeff @etrailer.com. Today I'm gonna take a look at this replacement trailer, brake magnet for the Dexter axle, 4,400 pound and 7,000 pound electric brake assemblies. Now this magnet will allow you to replace the worn out magnet on your Dexter trailer brakes. And what's nice is, just by changing the magnet only, it'll save you money and time because it's better than replacing the whole entire brake assembly. You can see this magnet is a nice oval design. So it does include the, or it does increase the efficiency of the magnet, helps extend the life of the magnet.

If you notice the wires that come out of the magnet, they have this nice sharp, protective sleeve here on it. And the reason they do that is 'cause when this is installed on your brake assembly, this portion of the wire goes through the backing plate, and you want to make sure that the wire is protected so it doesn't rub against the opening in that backing plate and cause those wires to, cause a short somewhere. Now the wires, you can see there's two of them, they are black wires. One will connect to a ground, the other connects to your brake feed. And because they're both black, either wire can be used for either function.

This does replace the brake magnet on your Dexter axle electric brake assembly. It works with the 10 inch by two and a quarter inch 4,400 pound brake assemblies and the 12 inch by two inch 7,000 pound brake assemblies. As you can see, this part will include everything I laid out here on the table. The magnet itself, the spring, and then the retainer clip that'll hold the magnet to the brake lever on your brake assembly. But that should do it for the review on the replacement trailer, brake magnet for the Dexter axle, 4,400 pound and 7,000 pound electric brake assemblies..

  • What Trailer Brakes Will Accept Replacement Magnet # BP01-225
    The replacement magnet, # BP01-225, fits several different brake assemblies. it fits Dexter 10 x 2-1/4 inch assemblies, Dexter 12 x 2 manual assemblies and 12 x 2 Nev-R-Adjust assemblies, 7K axles. For a brake magnet with a red wire we have # BP01-285. It fits Hayes and AL-KO 12-1/4 x 3-1/2 inch assemblies (see product page for specific years). However, these magnets are for 9K to 12K axles.

  • Comparing Trailer Brake Magnets # BP01-225 and # BP01-180
    The Trailer Brake Magnet, # BP01-225, that you have referenced is designed for use with 12 x 2 inch Dexter electric drum brakes for 7,000 pound capacity axles. A similar magnet, # BP01-180, fits Dexter 6K, Alko 6K and 7K after 1988 (excluding centerline), and Hayes 6K and 7K after 1988 (excluding centerline) 12 x 2 inch drum brakes.

  • Correct Electric Trailer Brakes For Dexter 7,000 lb Axle
    Thanks for the photo, and you are correct, you do indeed have a Dexter 7,000 lb axle, and are also correct regarding the shoes and magnets for Dexter 7k electric brakes, the Replacement Shoe # DX28FR and Replacement Magnet # BP01-225. That said, replacing the entire electric brake assembly is a good idea, and what you need for your Dexter 7k axle is the following: - Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 7,000 lbs # 23-180-181 - Mounting Bolts and...

  • Which Trailer Brake Magnets Do I Need to Use
    The difference between these two parts comes down to the size of the brake assembly and hubs that are on your axles. The # AKBRKR-M10 that has green wires are designed for 10" electric brake assemblies, where the # BP01-225 are designed for 12" brake assemblies. You would want to choose which one is best for your trailer brakes based off of the size of the brakes/hubs. Typically if you've got a 3500-lbs axles, you'll need the # AKBRKR-M10. If your trailer has 5200-lbs axles or larger...

  • Replacement Magnets for 10 x 2-1/4" Brakes for 4,400 Pound Axle
    The magnets on the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 4,400 lbs # K23-462-463-00 will be rated for 4,400 lbs. The magnets will have the same rating as the brake assembly. I am assuming you need magnets for 10 x 2-1/4" brakes. According to Dexter, the replacement magnet for the # K23-462-463-00 is the # BP01-225 Trailer Brake Magnet for 12" Dexter, 7K. These are the official replacement part for this brake assembly.

  • How to Test Brake Magnets on a Dexter 7,000 Lb Axle
    I have attached a help article that will walk you through step by step the various processes to troubleshoot brake magnets. In order to perform these tasks, you are going to need a multimeter like part # PT89ZR instead of a test light like part # PTW2993. Then depending on where the problem originates, you can use part # 10-1-1 if you need to replace any of the wires and part # BP01-225 if you need to replace any of the magnets.

  • Axle Kits with Electric Brakes to Replace Mobile Home Axles
    We do carry replacement magnets and other parts for electric drum brakes, including some older designs. I linked the replacement magnets we carry for 12 x 2 brakes, parts # BP01-225 and # BP01-180. However, mobile home axles are not intended for continuous use on a trailer. Mobile home axles are manufactured to be strong enough only for one use to transport the dwelling to its destination - just that one time. Mobile home axles are not safe for ongoing use on a trailer.

  • Troubleshooting 1 Of 4 Brake Assemblies Locking Up On Tandem Axle Travel Trailer Camper
    A brake controller will not cause one brake to lock up while the other 3 work fine. The common causes for this is the brake assembly not being adjusted correctly or a damaged part inside the brake assembly. Since you mentioned that the brakes are adjusted properly the issue may be a bad Brake Magnet # BP01-225. I have linked an article below that will help you test your magnet to determine if that is the issue. Do note that different brakes have different magnets. You can also pull off...

  • Brake Magnets Needed for 2010 Surtrac Trailer with 5200 LB Axles
    I spoke with my contact at Dexter Axle and if there is any question regarding capacity, he recommends going with a magnet for a 7K axle brake assembly. The magnet is interchangeable so if you do indeed have brake assemblies for a 6K axle, it will still work for you. The magnet will be just a bit stronger but will not cause you any issues. Currently we offer 2 options when it comes to brake magnets for 12 inch x 2 inch brake assemblies. Trailer Brake Magnet, # BP01-180, fits: Dexter 12"...

    We carry several replacement trailer brake magnets that are all designed to fit specific models of brake assemblies.

  • Will the Dexter # BP01-225 work as a Replacement part for the # BP01-180 or BP01-185
    According to my contact at Dexter, the Dexter # BP01-225 is rated for use on up to a 7K axle and it is intended to fit Dexter and Dexter Nev-R-Adjust brake assemblies. It has a larger profile and may not fit on Hayes/Alko brake assemblies. Where as the # BP01-180, is also rated for use on up to 7K axles, and it is considered a fit for Dexter and Hayes/Alko brake assemblies. The # BP01-185 is rated for use on up to 6K axles, and is considered a fit for Dexter brake assemblies. If you...

  • Troubleshooting One Electric Brake Assembly Not Functioning On a Tandem Axle Trailer
    You can run a jumper wire to the trailer brake that is not working to determine if the wiring may be damaged that goes to that brake assembly. Often times axles will have a wire that runs through the axle to the other side for that brake assembly. There is a chance that the wire became damaged inside the axle. You can test the wiring to the brake assembly with a Multimeter # PT89ZR to determine if you are getting the same voltage and amperage to the brake assembly. If you are getting...

  • Troubleshooting Amperage On Brake Magnets
    When you are testing the brakes you will need to sever both of the magnet wires. You can connect one of the wires to a 12-volt battery with a multimeter between the positive battery post and the magnet. Then connect the other magnet wire to the negative post of the battery. If you have 10 or 12 inch brake magnets the reading should be 3.2 to 4.0 amps at 12-13 volts. For 7 inch brake magnets the reading should be between 3.0 and 3.2 amps at 12-13 volts. If your amperage is greater than...

  • Are Replacement Shoes/Linings and Magents Available for Dexter 12x2 Inch Nev-R-Adjust Trailer Brakes
    Yes, the brake shoes and magnets are available as replacement parts for 12 inch Nev-R-Adjust brake assembly # 23-464. Some brake assemblies have expensive replacement parts and on those it makes more sense to replace the whole assembly. For replacement shoes, left hand side use # K71-675 and for the right use # K71-676. The magnet is # BP01-225. The cost of a magnet and shoe/lining for one brake assembly costs more than the whole assembly. Going to disc brakes is a great idea. Not only...

  • Which Magnets are Recommended for 12 inch Dexter Trailer Brake Assemblies
    Depends on the capacity Dexter axle you have. If your 12 inch drum axles are 6k rated the magnet you would need as a replacement is the part # BP01-180. If instead you have a 7k axle the correct magnet is the part # BP01-225.
