Today we are going to review part number 23-27. This is the Dexter ten-inch electric brake assembly for the right hand side. This electric brake assembly will measure ten inches by 2-1/4 and the way that is measured is the diameter of the shoes across. Its ten inches and the width of the shoe will be 2-1/4. This is passenger side brake assembly, which is the right hand side, and the way you can tell that is the shorter shoe will face the front of the trailer and the longer shoe will face the rear of the trailer. When this assembly is paired with a left hand side assembly, itll be rated for an axle 235 pounds.
You can use a wheel size of 13, 14 or 15 and this brake certainly does have a four bolt-mounting flange as you can see here. It does include the four studs. What you want to do is to make sure it fits your four bolt-mounting flange is if you can measure the distance between the holes. In the case they measure 2-7/8 inches. That is the distance from the center to center of the mounting flange.
This is an electric brake assembly so its not really used for marine applications. There are two wire connections to be made. One is for the brake feed, the other is for the ground and it doesnt matter which wires you use for either connection. Down here is the star wheel, which is used for adjusting the brakes and what you will, is an access hole back here that you pull the plug out. Use a brake-adjusting tool in each end and you will adjust the star wheel for the brakes to go either in or out.
And, this is an electric brake assembly and the way that would work is when power is fed to this magnet, its magnetized and will come out and sticks to the surface, inner surface of the hub and drum assembly, which will in turn pull the brake arm. This arm right here. It will attach and pull it, which will apply the brakes outward to stop the hub and drum. This part does have a limited one-year warranty and that should do it for part number 23-27.

Used these electric brake assemblies to replace the hydraulic units which became useless due to the master cylinder in the coupler becoming rusted and frozen up. Everything about the units was top notch and they bolted directly in place of the hydraulic backing plates. Shipping was fast with detailed follow up provided by Etrailer (probably the best of any internet company I've dealt with.) Packaging was more than enough with more packing material and staples than was really required. ( 15 staples in the box ends alone where 5 would have been more than enough) Unfortunately, the assemblies were "nested" back to front into one another which caused the brake shoe of one unit to cut off the wire leads of the other. "Back to back" or "front to front" would have solved this issue which has happened to other customers. Additionally, the one plate had dust plugs for the brake adjuster provided while the other one had none. Both of these problems were minor but kept the experience from being totally outstanding. 82912

This is a Dexter OEM brake assembly, so it was manufactured per Dexter spec's and quality control. 142720

Great deal! Only cost a few dollars more to replace the backing plate and components than to purchase new shoes. If you're debating whether to replace just the shoes, or the whole backing plate I'd recommend you replace the whole backing plate. It's far easier (4 nuts vs 3 springs and more), and ensures that everything is in good working order. One caveaut, however: it's not easy to replace backing plates when the nuts are severely rusted (in my case, it took cutting most of them off). FYI, I'm using these with drums marked "8-249-07" NOTE: You'll need (4) 7/16-20 nuts if you're not planning on using the originals. Bolts are included. 30304

Product was as advertised. Form, fit and function were excellant. Assembly was a breeze, especially with the non-polarity of the wires. Just bolt them on, plug them in, adjust them, and go. Recommend buyers also purchase the 4 nuts that hold each backing plate onto the trailer's mounting flange. They do not come with the assemblies, and 7/16 x 20 (fine thread) nuts are getting difficult to come by. I went to my local Lowes to purchase 16 nuts and lock washers for the 4 assemblies I purchased.. They only had 17 nuts in the entire store. 42572

An unbeatable value over buying any single or multiple parts of the brake system for trailers. Everything being assembled and properly lubed by the factory makes this a no-brainer for doing any brake maintenance. Without knowing any of the prior history of the new-to-me trailer, I have more confidence now knowing that I have good brakes backing me up. I would highly recommend this assembly over just getting individual parts. I was also happy to see the "Made in the USA" sticker inside each brake assembly! 41253

The product was as advertised or better and shipping was great. They showed up sooner then I expected and just ahead of a nasty storm with heavy snow and high winds which I was afraid was going to delay the shipment until the following week- Kudos to UPS! Was able to track them all the way. Didnt get any pictures but they were an easy bolt on- much better than replacing the brake shoes and magnet separately. Also you cant beat Dexter Made in the USA quality. Thanks again....Walter Hagen 77056

Purchased this product for one of our customers, who was looking to repair their old trailer, as our company does not carry trailer parts for larger trailers, we searched locally, and were unable to find them availible., We ordered the parts from etrailer on monday, with the help of Marcia, and they arrived on wed. Very helpful phone support, and a very helpful website, the arrived parts were packaged very well and arrived as described. 118583

The magnets on my horse trailer brakes were weak and worn. I found THE ENTIRE BRAKE ASSEMBLY, MAGNET INCLUDED, on etrailer dot com for less than the local RV parts desk wanted for a single magnet! No messing with clips, springs or wire routing. Just R&R four nuts holding the assembly to the spindle, a few flips of the brake adjustment spoon and DONE! Outstanding value! AND... ...the assemblies are MADE IN THE USA! Thanks, etrailer! 17704

Ordered the Decker brake system not knowing if it would work since It was being installed on a 1960's era Hadco axle. The Decker center hole is 3" dis. but they don't tell you that information. With a little clean up if fit my axle perfectly. So am now going to order the left side along with some other items to complete this project. It would have been nice if some wiring information was enclosed. 167325

I have a trailer with older Kelsey-Hayes axles, and was having trouble figuring out what brakes would be suitable replacements. Then I came across e-trailer, and found the info I was looking for. I was more than pleased to find that these Dexter brakes would fit, and the price made the deal even better! Thanks for such great information and service. I will look at e-trailer first for future needs. 81154

Bought several items and the SERVICE and the PRICE were far superior to other Internet sites - and even local RV Centers!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND etrailer and Renee K. She is very knowledgeable and helpful, made good recommendations. My purchases were smooth - and the products were the exact same quality and brand I could buy in Syracuse (at twice the price). 130946

I completely rebuilt my trailer. The brake assemblies ordered were easy to install. It was much easier than trying to rebuild my existing brakes. The instructional videos from etrailer.com made the installation of the breakaway kit a breeze. Shipping was upgraded for free and received my order very quickly. It was a pleasure doing business with etrailer.com. 59994
by: Mike B.03/12/2012
Purchased the entire brake and hub assemblies for about the same price as a brake job at the trailer shop. Shipped quickly...etrailer even upgraded my shipping at N/C. The brake assembly and hubs were simple to install. The brake controller took less than a minute to install. Good prices, great service. Would definitely do business with etrailer again. 33579
by: Chas. S.05/24/2012
Made in the USA. Easily bolted on, but there were no supplied nuts/lock washers and I wish the bolts were a tad bit longer. etrailer prices and shipping were awesome though this order of backing plates/hubs/drums were not packed as well as the others. No worries, it got here without issue and is on trailer about an hour later!. Thanks again etrailer! 41577
by: Darrell F.06/07/2013
Brake assembly went on fine, however I had to go to the local hardware store and buy eight 7/16-20 nuts and lock washers because the kit didn't include the needed hardware to attach them to my axels. The kits I have bought in the past from TSC have always had all the needed hardware. I was disappointed in that fact other than they work fine. 83691
by: Rick B.08/03/2012
Easy to install, came complete and shipped quickly. I couldn't believe the speed of which my order arrived. I had placed orders with other online companies and everything i tried to order was out of stock or back ordered. This is the best site to order from. NO HASSLES, NO DELAYS, SHIPPING VERY FAST AND CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ASTONISHING! 50412
by: Kevin L01/22/2015
No issues but i haven't got them installed yet. No pinched wires or grease problems as others have said. If i have problems i will let you know. They should include the nuts and washers though. 170868
Got the left side put on and it was a perfect fit. Dont see any problems on the right side either. 2004 Shadow Master 26 ft enclosed trailer.

by: Fred07/05/2012
The brake assembly was identical replacement and was very easy to install. All that's needed is to remove 4 bolts and the 12v brake line. Much easier going this route instead of trying to individually replace the shoes and magnet. This was for my travel trailer camper which has Dexter 3500lb axles. 46791
by: RMC07/10/2013
Haven't been able to try them out yet, but they installed pretty easily, even for having never dealt with trailer brakes before. The only complaints I have are that the hardware and adjuster hole plugs were not included. Seriously, can't we add a buck on the price and throw them in? 88708

I received the order on the 27 of Nov and the product was in excellent condition. It was shipped in a timely manner.If I ever need anything for my trailer I will make sure that I order it from this business.The salesperson was very helpful in getting this order out to me . Larry 60115

Product was a perfect fit! It made a tough job much easier! I love that they are made in USA! Rose G. helped me with my order and she was fantastic! I have already recomended etrailer.com to several of my friends! I will check here first for all my trailer needs! Thanks! 173073
by: Rick B08/04/2012
This was the easiest brake job ever! from start to finish, from jacking up, taking off wheels and old hubs, installing backing plates, new bearings and hubs, and wiring took only 1 hour. They work perfectly! Super fast shipping and great customer service! Thank you! 50571
by: Mr.R11/15/2014
OEM Made in USA and Dexter original. Exact fit. This is the best way to service brake systems especially on tandem axle applications. Great price, great service. Best with new nuts and lock washers and new Dexter drums and did I mention made in USA. 161125
by: Denny H.08/25/2014
I haven't tried adjusting or using the brakes but they look good. The only problem I had with the installation was the 4 mounting bolts are too short. I had to drive the ones out of the old brake mount. They seated and worked fine on the new ones. 148415
by: Tom Wine10/24/2012
You can't ask for a better product that is made in the good old USA with an outstanding price. Oh don't worry about shipping, I ordered on Monday and received on Wednesday, if only you could see the smile on my face. Thanks etrailer, stay the path. 58037
by: Dale F.08/17/2011
Quickest and easiest brake job I've ever done. Did all 4 wheels in a few hours. Did not have to remember how everything goes back together, just 4 bolts to remove and reinstall, and done. Best of all, made in the USA! Keep Americans working! 22022
by: james freeman03/13/2013

Good deal on brakes So easy to install; it comes all complete. I only needed the magnet but for a couple of bucks more I got the whole assembly. Only a couple of days to get it, real easy to do business. I recommend etrailer.com 5096
by: Jim T10/12/2014
This was my first time ordering with etrailer. I was very happy. I had no problems with the product. Delivery was very prompt. If I need anything else I will definitely order from etrailer again. Thank you very much. 155661

Still got to put them on, but they look good, I forgot to order the brake controller so I missed out on the free shipping,. Can you make a recommendation for a controller, I have a 2004 Chevy Sub 1500. Nothing fancy 105050
One of my favorite controllers is the Prodigy P2, part 90885. It has all the important features for a proportional controller, without extra bells and whistles that may be nice but not necessary. A relative new-comer to us, that has been received well so far is the TrailerMate X10, part TM75813. It works well, is pretty inexpensive, but the display is on the bright side and can be harder to read at an angle than the larger LED displays.

Excellent factory part. Direct replacement. Swap couldn't of been easier then removing the four nuts holding the backing plate in place and put the new one on using the old nuts. Resolder the wires and your all set. 26130
by: chancey08/15/2014
A much smarter move to replace the assembly than just shoes and not much price difference vs. Buying just the brake shoes. Cheapest price I found also this is a genuine made in the USA Dexter axle part. 146939

Easy to order great price and fast shipping. When the product arrived it was in great shape and no issues. What I ordered was what I expected to show up and it was. I will buy from here more often now. 66184

Made in the USA, was my number one reason to buy. Also made by Dexter. Great service by E trailer, I have purchased from etrailer before, always great products and service, quick to ship. 80631

The brake assembly went on great and very simple to connect the brake wires back up on our hay bug. Brakes work fine right out of the box. Re packed the spindles and we are moving hay. 164319
by: KM12/14/2012
Nice made in usa ! Cant beat the price and free shipping at the time. Cheaper in the long run to replace the whole backing plate than try to clean up old ones and put new shoes on. 61425
by: George03/01/2013
I purchased 2 sets of these (2 left and 2 right) for my trailer. They bolted right up, connected the wires and performed great. Couldn't ask for more at a good price too! Thanks! 68365
by: lwal07/14/2014
The Dexter assembly was what I expected, of high quality. The assembly combined with the drums did destroy the shipping container. But the product arrived in fine shape. 141226

Everything seemed as described all good, only issue was adjuster was found in bottem of box and 2 sets of brake shoes required resetting in backing plate from shipping 64415

Complete and direct replacement and easy install. If I had a complaint, it would be simply that the adjuster plugs weren't included but not a big deal. 81425
