Video Transcript for Replacement Inner Member for Dexter DX7.5L Brake Actuator: The Breakdown
Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a quick look at this Dexter replacement inner member slide. This is going to replace the inner member slide for your Dexter DX7.5L and Legacy UFP brake actuator. This is going to work with your hydraulic drum brakes to apply the brakes with that forward movement. We pull out the pin here. You can see how this is gonna work.
We'll push in on that front portion, and that will allow us to release the ball. It's gonna work with your two-inch hitch ball. And then as you close that there, it's going to snap in place and make sure that it's gonna have a nice snug fit on your hitch ball and then you can pass that pin through again there. This does have a capacity of 7,500 pounds. The manual lockout kit is sold separately.
And so if you are needing to replace that original inner member slide this is going to work for you. And because this is a Dexter product, you can trust it is gonna fit right in place. You're not gonna have to worry about compatibility issues and that sort of thing. So that's gonna complete our look for today. Again I'm Michael with etraler.com.
Thanks for watching..

I had an amazing experience purchasing this part with friendly knowledge service. I would have accidentally ordered the incorrect part without the support of the incredible team at etrailer.com.

This product is so sensitive when you are trying to back up or even pull into a launch area that has an incline. It actuates just enough to not allow you to put the back up key in or use the dial switch I had from my last actuator. I got stuck on a launch ramp for awhile trying to get it to release. I had to put rocks under the tires to stop the trailer from moving forward so I could put the lock out key in. Why do I have to use a lock out key every time I go into reverse? Even just back up the trailer which has no weight to it locks up the brakes. This is a horrible design and I wish I could return it but my trailer only fits this model. The fact that I can't even back up my boat or trailer by itself without it locking up is a joke

Brake Actuator arrived on time, it was very easy to install. currently watching the videos that etrailer.com has on line to bleed the actuator and brake system. Plan on ordering from them again.

Fit in just like the original one. No messing around with changing the master cylinder. I also added a reverse lock out valve to the back of it, so I don't have to get out to put in the "reverse pin" to back up.

- Replacement Brake Actuator for a 2013 Ranger Bass Boat TrailerHey Mark, welcome back! If your 2013 Ranger Bass Boat Trailer has a UFP Model A-60 Marine Surge Brake Actuator similar to item # DX89FR, you can replace it with the Inner Member for Dexter DX7.5L Actuator item # DX99FR, you were looking at. The Inner Member item # DX99FR will install inside the housing that's already attached to your trailer's coupler. This actuator works with disk brakes. If you have drums you'll need item # DX97FR. If you could get me a part number off of your trailer's...
view full answer... - Replacement Inner Member for Old A-60 on 2004 TrailerHey Howard! Yes, I think the Replacement Inner Member for Dexter DX7.5L Brake Actuator # DX97FR will replace what you have. It has the same body, just a different coupler on the end, so it will line up in the old housing. If you want to save some money, pick up the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX77FR instead. At least for the time being it has a lower cost and comes with the primed housing. You can remove the housing, it has the same inner member. What kind of trailer are you...
view full answer... - How Wide is Dexter Replacement Inner Member # DX97FRHey Sebastian, the Dexter replacement inner member # DX97FR is 2-11/16 inches wide but it was designed to replace the inner member of a Dexter actuator. Is that what you have or are you looking for an actuator to fit to a trailer that does not have one currently?
view full answer... - What is the Outside Width of the Weld On Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator?The Replacement Inner Member item # DX97FR on the Weld on Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator item # DEX94FR is 2-11/16" wide on the outside. The weld on bracket is 3-3/8" wide measured from the outside. What size tongue does your trailer have and what model of actuator are you replacing?
view full answer... - Replacement Inner Member Slide for LP7000 Actuator for Drum BrakesHey Dale! From what we have found, the pins on the replacement inner members like # DX97FR won't line up correctly on the old TDE LP7000. Since they're no longer around, a complete replacement is the best option. I recommend using the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator with Fill Cap # DX33FR. What kind of trailer do you have?
view full answer... - Replacement Surge Brake Actuator For 2009 Ranger Trail Trailer With Tandem AxlesI do see many of the 2009 Ranger Trail trailers allow you to use a replacement Inner Member. You will need to match these with your specific actuator and either Disc # DX99FR or Drum # DX97FR brakes. If you can tell me exactly what model number actuator is on your trailer I can narrow down to the correct actuator. We also have replacements like the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator for Disc # DM62VR or Drum # DM72VR brakes. This type of actuator bolts to a 3" wide straight pole tongue.
view full answer... - Replacement Inner Member for 2004 Nitro Bass Boat Brake ActuatorThanks for the picture and your patience! I did some research and made some phone calls, the correct replacement for your actuator is the Replacement Inner Member for Dexter DX7.5L Actuator - Single Axle w/ Disc - 2" Ball - 7,500 lbs item # DX39FR.

- Replacement Inner Member for UFP A-60 Actuator 34039What you have is a UFP A-60 drum brake actuator Philip so to replace just the inner member what you would need is the part # DX97FR and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Replacement Inner Member for UFP A-60 Drum Brake ActuatorThanks so much for the photo, which shows you have a UFP A-60 actuator, which is the same as the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator - Drum # DX33FR. I can confirm that the correct replacement inner member for both actuators is the Replacement Inner Member # DX97FR.

- Replacement Inner Member for UFP Model A-75 ActuatorFor a UFP model A-75 drum actuator we have the replacement inner member part # DX97FR that is a fit for the Legacy UFP actuators which includes what you have.
view full answer... - Does the Dexter DX27FR Use the Same Inner Member as the DX83FRYes, you can use the inner member from the # DX27FR and the # DX83FR interchangeably. Although they are designed to fit different trailer tongue sizes, they both use the same inner member # DX97FR. You could either purchase the inner member separately or if you want an extra/new housing the # DX27FR fits a 3" x 4" straight tongue and the # DX83FR fits a 3" x 5" straight tongue.
view full answer... - Replacement Inner Member/Master Cylinder For Dexter A-60 Drum Brake Surge ActuatorWe do have both the Inner Member # DX97FR and Master Cylinder # TK71-756-00 for your Dexter A-60 drum brake actuator. These both have the aluminum construction you are looking for.
view full answer... - Can Dexter Drum Actuator have Electric Reverse Lock Out Added ItDexter doesn't put reverse lock outs on their drum brake actuators so you'd need to add the part # DM5404 do a new actuator. The part # DX97FR is just the inner section of an actuator though. For the actuator you'd need the part # DX33FR.
view full answer... - Correct Replacement Inner Slide for UFP A-70 Surge Brake ActuatorThe Replacement Inner Member for Dexter DX7.5L Brake Actuator part # DX97FR is compatible with a UFP A-70 Surge Brake Actuator.
view full answer... - Replacement Inner Section Surge Brake Actuator Dexter DX7.5L / Legacy UFP On 2008 Bear Boat TrailerHey James! So that would bring us to the Replacement Inner Member for Dexter DX7.5L Brake Actuator # DX97FR which corresponds to your 34039 number. It is the replacement inner section but not the entire actuator. This is for drum brakes only. If you have disc brakes, or plan to swap to disc brakes, you'd actually need Replacement Inner Member for Dexter DX7.5L Actuator # DX39FR for single axle trailer, or the Replacement Inner Member for Dexter DX7.5L Actuator # DX99FR for tandem axle...
view full answer... - Replacement Inner Member For A-60 Surge Brake Actuator For Drum BrakesIt sounds like you are looking for the Replacement Inner Member # DX97FR. This is for drum brakes and does not have a reverse solenoid like the Inner Member # DX99FR you found.
view full answer... - Replacement Inner Members For UFP A-60 Brake Actuator On Tandem Axle TrailerYou will need either the Replacement Inner Member # DX97FR for tandem axle drum brakes or the # DX99FR for a tandem axle with disc brakes. The capacity was increased on the A-60 from 6,000lbs to 7,500lbs which is why you see the higher rating on the inner members.
view full answer... - Is There a Diagram For The Coupler Mechanism Spring For The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX33Sorry Richard, the best I can find is an image of the Inner Member # DX97FR for the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX33FR lower coupler mechanism spring.
view full answer... - Dimensions of the Replacement Inner Member for Dexter DX7.5L Brake Actuator DX97FRI sure do Mike. The Replacement Inner Member for Dexter DX7.5L Brake Actuator - Drum item # DX97FR measures 21" long x 2-11/16" wide. It is designed to replace the inner member slide for a Dexter DX7.5L and Legacy UFP brake actuator. The Replacement Inner Member item # DX97FR is designed for drum brakes, it has a 2" coupler, and a 7,500 lbs capacity. What kind of boat do you have?
view full answer... - Is The Outer Shell Of The Dexter A-60 Surge Coupler Available Separately? The outer shell for the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX33FR is only available with the entire actuator. They do offer the Replacement Inner Member # DX97FR for this particular actuator since those parts are more likely to wear and become damaged than the outer shell.
view full answer... - Looking for Replacement Inner Member for UFP A-60 ActuatorWelcome back Josh! Yes the replacement inner member part # DX97FR that you referenced would be the correct replacement inner member for your UFP A-60. This is exactly what you are looking for. Does your trailer have free-backing plates that allow the trailer to be backed up without the brakes applying?
view full answer... - Can I Purchase Just the Actuator and Not the Entire Mount for a Drum A-60 Surge Brake Actuator?You sure can Devin! Since you have a A-60 surge brake actuator, you'll want the Replacement Inner Member item # DX97FR. The capacity was increased on the A-60 from 6,000 lbs to 7,500 lbs but the dimensions are the same. The Replacement Inner Member item # DX97FR is designed to work with drum brakes and has a 2" coupler. You'll just need to pop out the pins and unscrew the brake line to swap them out. What kind of boat do you have? You can add this information, along with any other...

I am very sorry to hear this David. I have the Dexter on my Ranger for disc brakes and have zero issues, I am out at the ramps almost every weekend. I want to confirm that you have disc brakes, and what reverse solenoid did you install with it? I see this model that you ordered did not come with one.
