Quick Tip: There's really not a whole lot to getting new drum brakes. If you've confirmed that all of the specs listed above line up with what you need for your trailer, you can be pretty sure these will work for you.
How to Manually Adjust Trailer Brakes
The more miles you put on your trailer, the more your brake pads will wear down. As they lose contact with the drum, stopping distances get longer and longer. To keep your brakes working great, it's important to adjust them pretty routinely. For this job, grab a floor jack and either a brake adjustment tool (sold separately) or just a standard flathead screwdriver.
Jack up your trailer enough to get the wheel(s) off the ground. Remove the adjuster plugs from the backing plate on the brake, and insert the flat end of the tool through the back of the assembly.
Push in on the star gear and lift it up. Keep doing this until the brake pads catch on your drum. When you can't spin your wheel by hand anymore, back the gear off by about 10 clicks by pushing down on the star gear. Does the wheel now spin freely (even if it sounds like the brake pads drag slightly on the drum)? Great! Then you're all done with that one and ready to adjust the rest.
How to Break In New Brakes
After you get these brakes installed and adjusted, you'll need to break them in. First, find a long stretch of road or a big, empty parking lot. Once you're there, set your brake controller to its maximum setting and get moving. Speed up to about 40 mph and brake to slow to about 20 mph. Repeat this 15-30 times. The goal is to get the brake shoes and magnet properly seated into your drum. You'll know you've done that when it feels less jerky (and more consistent) each time you apply the brakes.
Note: The brakes will be very hot after doing this, so after every 10 stops you'll want to wait about 10 minutes to let the brakes cool off before continuing. If you don't, you might cook and crack the pad material.

Our 2021 Reflection 260rd 5th wheel gets used ALOT, that being said I will guess it has at least 4o,ooo plus miles.
While doing a wheel bearing inspection I noticed one corner brakeshad unusual wear on just one shoe and another corner had a leaking wheel seal that needed attention.
I placed an order for all four corners to replace all the backing plates and hardware, order came in as scheduled, I did the work and the brakes are back as good as new, very happy with the parts and prompt service.

Original equipment, exact replacement for my Dexter 4400 lb axles. We're full time campers and my old ones had many, many miles on them. This was a really easy, do-it-yourself, job. 4 bolts and two wires and you're done. Etrailer had them in stock, shipped fast, no problems.

This was an exact match for my 5th wheel. Not to hard to install and has worked well with no issues.

Worked great. Too bad this is the only option for this axle. Dexter has made it quite profitable for this axle versus the 3500 lbs axles.

These brake kits are not normally stocked in most places but etrailer had them and at a good price. These kits made replacing my brakes a lot easier and they are still working great after a couple of long trips and many short ones.

Etrailer was the only source I could find that had brake assemblies to fit my 3,500 lb axles. Thanks to them and overnight shipping we were on the road quickly.

- Do 4400-lb Electric Drum Brakes Use Same Mounting Pattern as 3500-lb BrakesAll of our 10 x 2-1/4-inch electric drum brakes for 3500-lb axles use a 4-bolt mounting pattern and this is the same as the 4400-lbs brakes we offer such as Dexter self-adjusting brakes # K23-478-479 and standard brakes # K23-462-463-00.
view full answer... - Replacement Hub/Drum and Brake Assemblies for Lippert 4,400 lb Trailer AxleWe don't carry replacement Lippert axles at this time but we can help with everything else you said you needed. For a 6 lug 4,400 lb trailer hub/drum we have the part # 8-407-5UC3-EZ. This comes with bearings, races, and seal. Then for brake assemblies you'd want the part # K23-462-463-00 and you'd be set.
view full answer... - Recommended Hub for a 2012 Keystone Passport Travel Trailer We have quite a few hubs for a 3,000 lbs axle! It looks like a 2012 Keystone Passport Travel Trailer uses 3,500 lbs axles with an inner bearing item # L68149 and an outer bearing item # L44649. The Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 item # 84546UC3 you were looking at would indeed fit your trailer. If you need to replace the brakes as well you can use either of the parts listed below: Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes - 10" -...
view full answer... - What Brake Assemblies for 4400 Lb AxlesA 12 inch 5200 lb rated brake assembly isn't compatible with the 10 inch hub used by a 4400 lb axle, but we do indeed offer 4400 lb brake assemblies, as part # K23-462-463-00 for standard brakes or for self adjusting brakes (which I'd recommend), use part # K23-478-479. Either set of brake assemblies would be compatible with the brake drums used on your 4400 lb axles. Either set of brake assemblies mentioned above include the adjuster hole covers and mounting hardware.

I am going to list all the common replacement parts for each axle so that you have that information. 4,400lb Axle Inner Bearing # L68149 Outer Bearing # LM67048 Inner Race # L68111 Outer Race # LM67010 Grease Seal # 58846 Brake Assemblies # K23-462-463-00 3,500lb Axle Inner Bearing # L68149 Outer Bearing # L44649 Inner Race # L68111 Outer Race # L44610 Grease Seal # 58846 Brake Assemblies # 23-468-469

view full answer... - Recommended Hub For Mobile Home Axle That Uses L68149 and LM67048 BearingsWe have one option that will work for you. The Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 4,400-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-407-5UC3-EZ uses inner bearing # L68149 and outer bearing # LM67048 so it would work perfectly on your spindle. This hub is designed to work with 10" electric trailer brakes # K23-462-463-00. Since the # 8-407-5UC3-EZ has the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern I recommend going with the Lionshead Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 15" x 6" - 6 on 5-1/2 - White # AM20532...

- Recommended Dexter Electric Drum Brakes for 4000-lb Axles on 5th Wheel TrailerWe have electric drum brakes rated for 4400-lb axles (and hydraulic drum brakes rated for 3750- and 5200-lb axles) but none rated for exactly 4000-lbs. For electric drum brakes in the 10 x 2-1/4-inch size for a 5th wheel the 4400-lb-rated brakes will be fine. I suggest using Dexter kit # K23-462-463-00 which is a left- and right-hand set of manual-adjust brakes with the 4-bolt mounting pattern. These work with trailer wheels from 13- to 15-inches. When you install the new brakes either...
view full answer... - Hub Conversion and Brake Assemblies for a Dexter AxleFor a hub and drum assembly that uses outer bearing # LM67048 and inner bearing # L68149, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly 10" Diameter item # 8-407-5UC3-EZ. This is the only hub we have available that matches those bearings. This hub has a 6 on 5-1/2 lug pattern and will fit a 14-1/2" wheel. The seal has an inner diameter of 1.719" outer diameter of 2.565". You may need to remeasure yours to confirm the dimensions you gave me. .940 is a really small inner diameter. We have...
view full answer... - How to Determine if 4,400 lb Electric Brakes Fit TrailerWe don't have a way of knowing the brakes that fit your 2005 Fleetwood Coleman Niagara trailer, but can tell you how to find out if the 4,400 lb Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # K23-462-463-00 will fit. The only way to do this is to know your mounting bolt pattern and the diameter and depth of your trailer's drum. You need to have a 4-bolt mounting flange like part # 4-35, and the inside depth of your drum needs to measure 10" diameter x 2-1/4" wide. If you have those specs you will...
view full answer... - Correct Braking Assemblies for Rockwood Ultra Lite with Dexter 4k AxleThe correct braking assembly kit for a Dexter 4,000 Lb Axle is the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # K23-462-463-00 for manual adjust or Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # K23-478-479 for self-adjust. These are almost the same as the brakes for a Dexter 3,500 Lb Axle expect for the magnet size which is much smaller therefore they are weaker and the mounting flange pattern is slightly different. Please note, manual adjust brakes require user adjustments every so...

- Does A 2020 Grand Design 2670MK Have Brakes On Both Axles?According to what I can find in the online user guide, a 2020 Grand Design 2670MK does have electric drum brakes on both axles. So, it would be as you said a total of 4 brakes with 2 on each side. Some older models did have brakes on only one axle, but the 2020 and newer models should have brakes on both axles. You can easily verify this by just looking underneath and looking at each hub. If there are brakes, you will see the hub and drum assembly with two wires coming off of the backing...

- Electric Drum Brakes and Hub/Drums for 2008 MaxSport R Vision MS 19 Tandem Axle Travel TrailerI reviewed the specs for your 2008 MaxSport R Vision MS 19 tandem axle travel trailer. The trailer's GVWR is 5454-lbs, which makes perfect sense based on the 2800-lb rating for each axle that you mentioned. The specs also note that electric drum brakes are installed only on the rear axle. In a case like this those brakes are likely to be rated for more than the single axle 2800-lb rating. Odds are good that the rear axle with brakes uses 4400-lb-rated 10 x 2-1/4-inch brakes like Dexter...

- Is The Bushing For Actuating Lever On Dexter Brake Kit # K23-462-463-00 Available Separately? I do not see that Dexter offers the bushing separately for the Dexter Brake Kit # K23-462-463-00. We do have the Left # K23-462-00 and Right # K23-463-00 assemblies separately so you do not have to get both assemblies.

You should get way more than 3,000 miles out of a set of brakes. With your axles you must be using the 4,400 lb assemblies instead of the 3,500 lb assemblies. For the replacements I recommend the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 4.4K # K23-478-479 or the manual assemblies # K23-462-463-00. If your brake...

If the outer bearing has the LM67048 reference number stamped on the side of the bearing carrier or if it has an inside diameter of 1.25 inches, you have a 4400 lb axle.

I do a vehicle inspection after every longer camping trip and our last journey was to Wyoming. About 4500 miles in all, after the trip I did another roll around inspection, all good ,no adjustments needed.
