Video Transcript for Review of Dexter Axle Trailer Brake Parts - Replacement Shoe and Lining Kit - DX28FR
Hey, everybody. I'm Ellen here at etrailer.com and we're going to be taking a quick look at the Dexter Shoe and Lining Kit for your 12x2 inch electric brake assembly. So this is a way to replace the shoe and lining or that outer part of your brake assembly. It's a good idea to get two of these, so you can do one for either side of your axle. You don't really want to just do one side because then your brakes will start to wear unevenly, so it's a good idea to do both at the same time while you're already getting the trailer up in the air and getting access to the one side of your axle. That's pretty much the hardest part anyway, so you might as well do both.
So let's take a closer look, make sure that this is the right fit for your application.Again, this works for a 12 inch diameter by two inch wide brake assembly. This is going to be for your 7,000 pound axles. It includes both your primary and secondary brake shoes with the lining, two hold down pins, and your two shoe hold down springs, so we'll have those guys there. The way to tell the difference on which side goes where is the shorter lining goes towards the front and the longer piece goes towards the rear. So with this one, the sides are pretty much the same, so you just flip it from one side to the other to make sure that it's in the right orientation for your application.
That's pretty much all there is to it for our look at the replacement shoe and lining kit for your Dexter electric brake assembly. I hope this has been helpful in deciding if this is the right piece for you. We do have a lot of accessories and parts here for your trailers here at etrailer.com, so check them out. Thanks for watching.

I think a set of brakes should contain four actual liners, two for each side of an axle.

These pads didn't come with the rivets installed to connect the springs. We ended up having to cut them off of the old pads and weld them on. They also don't seem to automatically tighten even though they have the automatic tighteners installed on them. I understand this isn't the entire assembly but he would at least think it would come with the parts necessary to install them without having to weld spring connection points to them. Other than that, they seem to be an exact replacement.

etrailer service and shipping is excellent! These shoes are horrible and are unsafe which will cause injuries and fatalities! My trailers are seldom used and driven gently. The bonding on these shoes often fails and locks the brake up without warning! Once they have some age, the lining can be pulled off by hand! Hoping the replacements would be riveted, but are not!

I had a grease seal malfunction and ruin one set of new brake shoes. Shawnee helped me and in quick order, had my parts identified. She suggested an expedited ground service. I had my parts promptly and they fit perfectly. Shawnee made my worries go away and my 5th wheel is rolling again. etrailer has my highest recommendation.

Not sure what to think of this. I ordered 4 pair of brake shoes and one box was all taped up. After opening it, the shoes seem to have been installed, uninstalled, returned, and resold. They are dirty and rusty looking. Unfortunately, I am on a time constraint, so I will have to use them. I’ve used etrailer a few times before and have been satisfied. This time…..not so much.

- Recommended Replacement Electric Trailer Brakes For 7000lb Dexter AxleI would be happy to help! Since your Dexter axle has a 7000lb rating you will need the Electric Brake Assemblies # 23-464-465 for self adjusting brakes, or # 23-180-181 for standard brakes that you will need to adjust on occasion. I recommended the self adjusting versions as there is nothing to have to manually adjust in the future, but they are a bit more expensive so it will come down to how much you are looking to spend. I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take...
view full answer... - Correct Electric Trailer Brakes For Dexter 7,000 lb AxleThanks 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...

- Replacement Brake Shoes For Dexter 5,200lb Axle With 12"x 2" Electric BrakesThe Replacement Shoe and Lining Kit for Dexter 12" x 2" Electric Brake Assembly # DX28FR is actually designed to fit the 6,000lb and 7,000lb capacity Dexter Axles, and will not work for your 5,200lb axle, however I do have a solution. Instead, you'll want to use the Replacement Shoe and Lining Kit for 12" Manual-Adjust Brake Assembly # AKBRKR-S-12. These brake shoes are designed to work with 5,200lb-7,000lb axles, and is compatible with most manufacturers like AxleTek, Dexter, Lippert...

If you do have the Dexter # 23-180-181 (which are manual adjust and not the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust) we have the correct replacement parts for those brakes with the following: - Replacement Shoe and Lining Kit for Dexter 12" x 2" Electric Brake Assembly # DX28FR - Replacement Magnet Kit...

You have the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # 23-181 for your right hand side and the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # 23-180 for the left hand side so for your application you need the Replacement Shoe and Lining Kit # DX28FR which fits both sides. Depending on how much you're needing to replace you might also need the Replacement Magnet # BP01-225.
view full answer... - Replacement Bearings and Brake Shoes For The Dexter 7,000LB Axle Under a Big Tex 14GN TrailerYour 14GN Big Tex trailer with a Dexter 7,000lb axle is going to need the Bearing Kit # BK3-200. This will provide you with the bearings, races and grease seal for 1 hub so you will need 4 kits to replace the bearings on your entire trailer. Depending on the brakes optioned for your axle you will either have the Standard Brake Kit # 23-180-181 or Nev-R-Adjust Brake Kit # 23-464-465. You should be able to find the part number stamped on the back of the brake assembly if you are unsure....

The Replacement Shoe and Lining Kit # DX28FR contains the replacement brake shoes for one hub. Often times it is easier to just replace the brake assembly than trying to replace just the brake shoes. This also ensures that you have all new components.
view full answer... - How To Find The Replacement Brake Shoes For a Dexter 7,000LB AxleUnfortunately Craig, there are several different brake shoes used on Dexter 7,000LB trailer axles. I have a couple ways I can help you find exactly what you are going to need. First off the easiest way for you is by finding the serial number on your Dexter axle. This is typically on a sticker on the rear center of the axle or stamped into the tube about 18 inches from the hub. With this I can contact Dexter to see exactly what components you had installed from the factory. Otherwise stamped...

I checked with Dexter, and this is also the correct replacement for the 6,000 lb brake assemblies. I am not sure which specific brake assembly is on your 6,000 lb Lippert axle, but if you have either of these Dexter assemblies the replacement shoes will work for you. That being said, it is often a good idea to replace the entire brake assembly rather than...

If you do not have Dexter 7,000 lbs brake assemblies I will need you to email me back part numbers of what you do have because these are manufacturer specific.

view full answer... - Replacement Brake Shoes for Dexter 7k AxleBefore you buy new brake shoes you will want to identify your axles or at least measure your drums. 7k axles could have a hub and drum with an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern but so do larger axles. Check your axle tag to see if the capacity is listed or if there is a serial number. Dexter can identify it with the serial number. If you measure and find that you have 12" x 2" drums then these will fit. You also need to make sure you have manual brakes and not self-adjusting. The # DX28FR is designed...

The largest one we have is 3" like the Trailer Brake Mounting Flange for 3-1/2" Axles, 12-1/4" Brake Assemblies # 4-50. This is a 4-bolt square pattern. As far as the shoes, I recommend using 2 of the Replacement Shoe and Lining Kit for Dexter 12" x 2" Electric Brake Assembly - 7,000-lb # DX28FR.
