The whole experience of ordering my replacement brake assemblies was awesome. Teresa did a fantastic job of figuring out which parts I needed. I would not hesitate to order parts from e-trailer in the future. The quality and fit-up of the Dexter brake assemblies made repairing my rv easier than I could have imagined. I am one happy camper. Thank you for an awesome consumer experience from start to finish. 634446

The parts I purchased are working fantastic. I still consider the complete experience to be a 5-star transaction and will definitely order from e-trailer if I need parts in the future.

I recently completed a brake upgrade on my trailer. The new Never Adjust Dexter Brakes went on flawlessly. I found the process to be straight forward. The self-adjusting feature was an upgrade from the previous brakes but bolted on with no issues. I like the idea of not needing to adjust brakes as the pads wear down. I needed all new brakes, this seemed like the best decision for replacements. 539350

These Dexter electric brakes have been on our 38ft fiver for the past season logging over 5 thousand miles. The brakes worked flawlessly, much better than the OEM brakes, in my opinion. Easy installation and the quality of these brake assemblies made this a good choice for our rig. 880133

Good product. Easy install, so far. Somewhat poor packaging. I bought 2 sets (4 brakes). I received 4 rotor size boxes set in a huge box, with nothing to fill the leftover space. So, the boxes were pretty beat up inside. No product damage found yet. 865811

Very nice brake set up. Delivered as stated. Installation was a snap. Pre lubed hubs are the way to go. Just slide them on and set the tension. One dust cap was dented in shipping or packaging? But did not defray from the product quality. 817315

Nice job "e-Trailer"; received this "heavy" order very promptly; did not expect it so quickly in view of how other retailers/ manufacturers/ on-line businesses are behind in fulfilling orders. Packages (3) came all intact, well packed and product received in great condition. The order included: > 5-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Hook End for 6,000-lb Trailer Axles (2) > U-Bolt Kit for Mounting 8,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles - 8" Long U-Bolts (2) > Tandem-Axle Trailer Equalizer Kit for 2" Slipper Springs - 10-1/8" Long Equalizers (2) > Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 6K (2) > Mounting Bolts and Hardware for 12" Brake Assemblies (2) > Bearing Buddy Bearing Protectors - Model 2441SS - Stainless Steel (Pair) (2) > Bearing Kit, 15123/25580 Bearings, GS-2125DL Seal (4) > Optronics LED Combination Trailer Tail Lights - Submersible - 40 Diodes - Driver and Passenger Side. These items are being utilized in the total suspension replacement of a 10,000 gvwr tandem axle trailer. Good sized job for a DIY'er. I expect that it will give my JD 2038 tractor a smooth and safe ride as it is towed/ hauled down the highway. Thank you. I would/will strongly recommend to a friend/relative or associate. ( I'd take a picture of the "project", but there is a vicious rain storm occurring outside; perhaps one or two pics to follow at a later time). 812002

Worth buying made in America. I had no installation issues while installing the never adjust break. I have been one to be careful to watch and adjust my breaks, but were they adjust correctly at all time. Absolutely not. I am Happy to be upgrading my 5th wheel with these Dexter Never adjust breaks. What surprised me was that they were pre adjusted to very close to where they needed to be. They still need to break in on the drums and adjust themselves, but they work very well right out of the box. I am one happy buyer. 787122

Installed 4 of the Nev-r Adjust 3500 lb brake plates on a camper. Initially, these new brakes did not have the braking power of the brakes I removed but after about 500 miles of driving they were doing better. They performed more consistently than the older units I removed but those were much older and mixed brand parts. Unfortunately, I can't give a longer experience because we ended up trading out to a newer unit shortly after 500-700 miles of tows. 787110

Ask the Experts about this Dexter Axle Trailer Brakes
- Are Initial Adjustments Necessary for Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Trailer Brake AssembliesTechnically speaking, it's not really necessary to pre-adjust Nev-R-Adjust brakes. You'd find a big empty parking lot, set your brake controller gain to 50 percent or so and speed up to 25. Then hit the manual brake switch on your brake controller without using the tow vehicle brakes. These should be hard stops. Once you do this a few time, you'll feel the brakes becoming more and more effective. Once you've done this 6 or 8 times and the braking intensity doesn't seem to change, then you...
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Brakes, Bearings, and Seals for Dexter 6K Trailer AxlesWe do have brakes for the 6,000 pound Dexter axle on your 2013 Open Range Roamer. That size takes 12" x 2" brakes. For a set of self-adjusting brakes in this size I recommend # AKEBRK-7-SA. The bearing kit for the 6k Dexter axles will be either # BK3-100 or # BK3-110. There are a couple of differences between these two sets. Set # BK3-100 includes a cotter pin and a 10-36 seal which has an inner diameter of 2.250 inches and outer diameter of 3.376 inches. Set # BK3-110 includes...

I would ask for confirmation on the number or some pictures of the product to confirm replacement parts that will work. If you can get me the info on your hub I can go from there. Look for a number on the outside of the drum.
view full answer... - Correct Brakes and Hubs/Drums for Dexter D52 AxleIt sounds like you are looking for the correct braking assemblies and hubs/drums from a Dexter D52 Axle. If that is the case then we have just what you need, the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-458-459 and the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ (2.125" seal part # GS-2125DL) or part # K08-201-98 (2.250" seal part # RG06-070). The best way to find out which seal you need is to measure what you have now or just buy the extra seals.

The wires can be used for either, so if you want to use the black for ground you can, and the white wires will then be the power wires. You should then connect the ground wire to the trailer frame and connect the others to power like in the cut out I added. This is from the linked help article "Parts Needed to Add Electric Drum...

- Correct Braking Assemblies for a 2013 Jayco Jay Flight 28BHBEThe correct electric trailer brake kit for a 2013 Jayco Jay Flight 28BHBE is the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-458-459. That said, I understand this may be confusing because the axle tag says you have a 4,400 lb axle and the above brakes are for a 6,000 lb axle but this particular axle actually uses the larger brakes so no need to get hung up on this.

- Replacement 12 x 2 Dexter Nev-R-Adjust 7,000 lb Electric Trailer BrakesThe 6,000 lb # 23-458-459 and 7,000 lb # 23-464-465 Dexter Nev-R-Adjust brakes are the same size and fit the exact same, so the only way to determine the correct ones is to go by the capacity you need. I assume you have electric brakes on just one of the axles as having that highly rated brakes on both of your axles (considering their capacity) would give you a very aggressive, abrupt stop. So for a 12" x 2" drum for your size axles, the correct brakes are the 7,000 lb Dexter Nev-R-Adjust...

These 12" x 2" Nev-R-Adjust assemblies will eliminate the need for any manual adjustments down the line and they're made right here in the USA. I just recommend making sure your existing assemblies feature the same 5 bolt mounting flange pattern that you see on these. I have included a couple short video demonstrations that you can...

They are self-adjusting and feature E-coated backing plates that resist wear and corrosion. They come with the driver side and passenger side, so you will need two sets to replace all four of your brakes. This fits a 5-hole flange mounting...

- Replacement Braking Assemblies for a 2014 Dutchmen Denali TrailerThe best option for you is going to be to crawl under the trailer and read the tag on the center of the axle. This will tell you the weight capacity of your axle which will be needed to find the correct replacement braking assembly. I can see from the photo that you attached that your trailer uses a five bolt braking mounting flange therefore, it likely has either 6,000 lb or 7,000 lb axles. This would also make sense since you have a 3" diameter axle tube. The 4,400 lb axle capacity you...

- Would Dexter 5,200 lb Trailer Axle have Manual Or Self Adjusting Brake AssembliesDexter makes 5,200 lb trailer brake assemblies that are self adjusting like part # 23-458-459 as well as ones that are manual adjust like part # 23-105-106 so it could go either way. I attached a picture that points out what to look for on your assemblies once you pull off the hub to tell if they are self adjust or manual adjust. The steel cable you see is part of the linkage mechanism which makes the assemblies adjust automatically.

- Troubleshooting Trailer Brakes on One Side that Apply Harder than the OtherThe issue seems to be different adjustment than the other side. Most likely the time delayed onset of the braking pressure is locking up the one side of the trailer before the other due to it being a tighter adjustment. What you can do is tow the trailer around at a slower speed and apply the trailer brakes with your override lever several times and witch each application they will tighten by one click until they are equally tightened between both sides.
view full answer... - How to Initially Adjust Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer BrakesYou can initially adjust your Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes # 23-458-459 but the adjustment tool you are using might just be too thick to get to the adjustment wheel. You should use something that allows you to more easily access that wheel (as shown in picture) such as a flathead screwdriver. If you go to the linked video and forward to about the 14:15 mark you can see a flathead screwdriver being used to make an initial adjustment.

- What Brakes Need To Be Used With the Dexter Hub/Drum Assembly (8-201)The Dexter Hub/Drum Assembly (8-201) will use the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-458-459 or just the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-105-106.
view full answer... - Troubleshooting the Adjustment or Lack of Adjustment on Self-Adjusting Brakes To get your brake assemblies to start self-adjusting after the initial manual adjustment at install, you will need to hit the brakes hard multiple times. I recommend having the truck and trailer on a fairly smooth and level surface in a parking lot for this adjustment. You will slowly accelerate to no more than 20 mph, then hit the manual override on your brake controller to its max. It will be jarring, so be prepared. You will need to do this a few times. Then you can do the same...

Therefore, the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-458-459 and Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # K08-201-98 are just what you need.
