Video Transcript for Review of Dexter 12-1/4 Inch RH Duo Servo Hydraulic Drum Brake Assembly Parking Brake - DX54HR

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Dexter 12 and a quarter inch right-hand Duo-Servo hydraulic drum brake assembly with parking brake lever. So this brake assembly has been engineered for trailers with 9,000 to 10,000-pound axles and this is going to fit most standard hub-and-drum assemblies, including your Dexter and Lippert. And this is going to work with wheel sizes that are 15 inches or larger. And this does feature a Duo-Servo design.

Kind of tricky to say it real quick like that. And you can't see both of the plungers because of our parking brake lever, but you got one plunger here and the other plunger here. So that Duo-Servo dual plunger design is gonna give you consistent braking force in both forward and reverse directions. We also have the self-adjusting mechanism that's gonna automatically maintain proper brake shoe alignment. That's going to reduce the need for manual adjustments.

You can tell by this cable here that goes around the pulley the pulley's obscured by that parking brake lever as well, but that's going to connect to the lever down here that's going to automatically adjust the adjustment gear. So self-adjusting brakes will automatically adjust to deliver optimum performance and braking power. So there's not gonna be any need for manual brake adjustments or proper, and, of course, you know that proper adjustment will lead to better brake efficiency and less wear on your tow vehicle brakes. We also have this integrated parking brake lever. That's going to allow you to manually engage the brake for extra security.

So whether your trailer is packed with gear or sitting in storage, this feature is going to ensure that it's going to stay put exactly where you left it, offering peace of mind when parked. So this is the right hand configuration. And again, our diameter here is 12 and a quarter inches. Our width is three and three-eighths inches. This is a seven-bolt mounting flange bolt pattern.

Durable construction. Very robust engineering here. And this has been built to withstand rigorous use, ensuring long-lasting performance. And if you are in need of the left one as well, or instead of the right-hand one, I'm including the item number there for the left. But maybe you need both the left and right. The good news is we do carry both. So if you're looking for both, you can just take that model number, pop it in the search field of our website, and that will take you to that kit. And that's true of that left-hand model number there as well. So we got you covered either way.
