Customer service is always spot on! Be aware that this kit does not come with new hardware (bolts & nuts) and it does not come with a backer plate. Make sure you save the old stuff.

My name is Albert, I recently ordered a set of electronic brakes for my trailer(2 10,000 lbs axles). The product and service was outstanding. Greg was the representative I dealt with he was very patient, helpful and supportive as this process was new to me. As a result of such helpful service the next few days I ordered all new bearings and seals for my axles. I consider the company great to work with in getting you what you need and getting it right the first time

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Brakes
- Are Dexter EB01-150 And EB01-155 Brake Assemblies Available While we don't currently offer the EB01-155 or EB01-150 we do offer the Dexter Electric Brake Kit # 23-450-451, which has matching dimensions, capacity, and are self-adjusting.
view full answer... - Replacement Dexter Electric Brakes for Trailer with 9,000 or 10,000 Pound AxlesFor the axles on your trailer, I recommend the Dexter Electric Brake Kit # 23-450-451. These are self-adjusting brake assemblies that measure 12-1/4 inches x 3-3/8 inches. These particular brake assemblies are designed for 9,000-10,000 pound Dexter axles, so they will work great whether you actually have a 9,000 pound or 10,000 pound axle on the trailer. To ensure they will fit perfectly, you can take a couple of quick measurements on your existing drum to verify they are 12-1/4 inches...

- Brake Assemblies for AL KO 10,000 lbs AxlesYes, we do have brake assemblies for Dexter 10,000 lbs axles. You will want the Dexter Electric Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12-1/4" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies item # 23-450-451. These come as a set and you will need one for each braking axle you have on your trailer.
view full answer... - Will Electric Brake Assemblies Work Without A Magnet If you're saying that one of the wire clips isn't there but the magnet for your brake assembly # 23-450-451 is still in place then yes, the brake assembly with still work. If you're saying there's no longer a magnet at all then no, the brake assembly will not work. When your brake controller sends the signal back to brake assembly it energizes the magnet clamping it onto the hub and expanding the brake shoes so that they make contact with the drum to slow the trailer down. If you're needing...
view full answer... - Replacement Electric Brake Assemblies For a 2018 Big Tex 22GN Trailer With 10K Dexter AxlesThe Dexter Electric Brake Kit # 23-450-451 are the brakes you will need for your 2018 Big Tex 22GN with the 10,000lb Dexter axles. These are sold per axle so you will need 2 sets to replace all 4 of your brake assemblies. They are also sold individually as the Left # 23-450 and Right # 23-451 if you have a need to only replace one in the future. With self adjusting brakes like these it is more common for them to all wear evenly and need replaced at the same time.
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Assemblies for 2019 Big Tex Gooseneck TrailerThe Dexter Electric Brake Kit # 23-450-451 are the brakes you will need for your 2019 Big Tex 22GN with the 10,000lb Dexter axles. These are sold per axle so you will need 2 sets to replace all 4 of your brake assemblies. They are also sold individually as the Left # 23-450 and Right # 23-451.
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Assemblies for Big Tex 22GN with Part Number 36-120I was able to determine that the brake assemblies you have are 7-bolt 12-1/4 inch by 5 inch brake assemblies like the part # 23-442-443.
view full answer... - Replacement Recommendation for AL-KO 12-1/4" Electric BrakesTo replace your 10K AL-KO electric brakes you'll need the Dexter Electric Brake Kit # 23-450-451 which are self-adjusting 12-1/4" x 3-3/8". These are also available as 12-1/4" x 4" brakes with the kit # 23-438-439 instead. Dexter Axle owns AL-KO so while these are branded as "Dexter" brakes, they are essentially the same thing. Attached are some videos for you to check out.
view full answer... - Replacement Electric Brake Assemblies For 10,000LB Dexter Axles On Big Tex 22GN Gooseneck TrailerThe Dexter Electric Brake Kit # 23-450-451 are the brakes used on the 10,000LB Dexter axles that are found under the Big Tex 22GN Gooseneck Trailer. You will need 2 sets to replace all 4 of the brakes on your trailer. If you want to replace any of the bearings or oil seals while you will have them off to replace the brakes I can confirm the correct parts needed if you can provide me with the serial numbers off your axles.
view full answer... - Brake Assembly Recommendation for BigTex 20ac With 10k AxlesThe brake assembly set you need for each of your 10k Dexter axles is the part # 23-450-451. This set of left and right assemblies is exactly what your Dexter axles need and they are self adjusting as well.
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Assemblies For a Big Tex 22GN Trailer with 10K Dexter AxlesYes, the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-10 can be used to replace the Dexter Electric Brake Kit # 23-450-451 that comes on a Dexter 10K axle. If you are needing any bearings or grease seals for this axle on your Big Tex Trailer I can confirm the parts used if you can provide me with the serial number found on your axle.
view full answer... - What To Do If My Brake Pads Are Breaking Into Pieces?It is completely normal for brakes to get warm when towing. Especially if you are doing a lot of braking, heat is natural. Now if the brake pad is falling apart, that is something you will want to address. Having pieces of brake shoe inside the drum could definitely cause excess friction/heat. You may still get decent braking power, but less brake pad = less braking power. Also I would be concerned that you may continue to lose pieces of the brake shoe over time. At this point I recommend...
view full answer... - Installing the Magnet Retainer Clip on a 10K Electric BrakeThe magnet clips # BP19005 should not be making contact with the drum while the brakes engage, so I do not think that is the problem. What I think is going on is it's just not seating all the way. These can get a little squished or deformed causing this to happen, so it is fairly common. When snapping in place, you definitely want to push it in harder than you would expect to. You should get a pretty solid click/snap when it is fully seated. You should be able to gently pull on the magnet...
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Assemblies for Dexter 8-10k AxlesWe do not have any trailer brake magnets that are rated for that high of an axle. We do have the Dexter brake assemblies part # 23-450-451 which are a replacement set of assemblies for 9k or 10k axles by Dexter. For an 8k assembly we have the part # 23-435 for the right hand side and part # 23-434 for the left hand side.
view full answer... - How To Adjust Brakes When The Shoes Are Too Far Apart To Get A Drum Back OnThe Dexter Self-Adjusting Brakes you have ( # 23-450-451) can actually be adjusted when removing and reinstalling, so you will not have to use a sledge hammer again. You will need to go to the back side of the brake to get access to the adjuster, which I included a picture of for reference. Using a slot screwdriver, or a brake adjuster spoon like the # W80630 if you have one, you will need to back it off a little at a time until the drum slides on. I also included an article that has...

- On Tandem Axle 10k Trailer What Brake Capacity Gets Installed on AxleYou want to pick out your brakes based on the axle capacity of the axle you will be installing them on. So you would need a set of 5,200 lb trailer axle brake assemblies like the # AKEBRK-7-SA and you'd be set.

view full answer... - Comparing Draw-Tite and Curt Trailer Hitches for a 2020 Subaru CrosstrekThe main difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13382 and Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76209 for a 2020 Subaru Crosstrek is that the Curt hitch has a hidden crosstube see photo one and the Draw-Tite hitch has a visible crosstube see photo two. The hidden crosstube is great because it retains a factory-ish look and you won't have as much reduced ground clearance so this is what I recommend using. The Curt and Draw-Tite hitches are both bolt-on, easy...

- Difference Between etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes And Dexter Electric Trailer BrakesThe differences between the Electric Trailer Brake Kit w/ Dust Shields # AKEBRK-10 and the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # 23-450 are the different manufacturers and that the # AKEBRK-10 have dust shields, and the # 23-450 does not. Also # 23-450 is just the driver side brake assembly, where # AKEBRK-10 includes the driver and passenger side brake assemblies. If you wanted the Dexter Kit you would need the Dexter Electric Brake Kit # 23-450-451 which includes both brake assemblies. Both...
view full answer... - Can the Hubs Be Reused When Switching from Electric to Hydraulic Brakes On An AL-KO 10K AxleGenerally speaking, you can reuse the hubs when switching from electric to hydraulic brakes or vice versa. There is no difference in the hub but you do need to be sure the braking assemblies are the same size. The Hayes/AL-KO Hydraulic Brake Kit part # K23-524-00-2 is my recommendation for hydraulic drum brakes and should work with your existing hubs no problem just be sure to verify the size of the drum and make sure it's 12-1/4" x 3-1/2". If you can provide more info on the trailer...

view full answer... - What Brake Assemblies Fit on the Dexter D80 Trailer Axle? The Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-434-435 are the assemblies most often found on Dexter D80 axles which utilize electric brakes. If your axle is set up with hydraulic drum brakes they most likely have the Dexter Hydraulic Drum Brake Kit # 23-402-403. If you can locate the axle serial number I can reach out to Dexter to find out exactly what parts were installed from Dexter to verify the correct replacements and what upgrades are available. The serial number will be on the axle...
