The unique free-backing design, patented by DICO, lets your trailer move in reverse without actuating the brakes. When you begin backing up, the brake shoes are firm against the drum, as in a braking situation. As you continue in reverse, however, the shoes turn with the drum until the lining pressure is released and you are able to back up freely.


These brakes are designed to eliminate friction between the shoes and drum when you are driving in reverse. A trailer breakaway kit will not be effective should your trailer disconnect from your tow vehicle when backing up.

Both brake pads were cracked upon arrival. Had a trip to lake Powell with the boat trailer so did not have time to return them and they did still function. Not sure if it was poor quality control or just poor packaging as the packaging was destroyed upon arrival. I can’t believe all the parts were still in there to be honest. Undecided if I would order again from etrailer.




by:

Six Stars!! Your web site shows what patience and hard work does! Awesome !! I have now ordered all trailer brake components, hoses, lines everything for a complete job. Easy to find correct parts. Called and talked to Derek to make sure i was ordering the correct parts. Shipping and handling also was great. Now install. Thank You




by:

The fit and assembly was perfect with no hassle.
Faster and easier then trying to rebuild the original.
Total assembly time and full bleed about 1.5 hours.




by:

Great Product!




by:

The ordering and shipping process went just fine, however, when I received my package and opened the box I was surprised to see that there was NO material of any kind separating the two wheel assemblies. They were placed one on top of the other and sent to Washington State all the way from Missouri. Needless to say, the part that was on the bottom is all scratched up, and will more than likely rust the entire back side of the assembly. Not cool..... all it would have taken is a flexable piece of foam.




by:

Great replacements for the (almost) 30 year old Dico assemblies with worn out brake cylinders and bearing grease contaminated shoes. Worked well with the old Dico drums too. The reversing feature works great too.




by:

installed and working fine




by:

Received my order much faster than I expected. Perfect fit, actually works much better than the OEM brakes I had on my dolly. Five stars for service and product




by:

Item was just as described. Good fit and finish. The corner of one brand new brake shoe was already chipped and loose, wasn’t tickled about that. And the bleeder screws were different on the left and right sides... not a huge deal but still.... attention to detail people. I now have one bleeder screw that takes a 3/8” wrench and another that needs a 10 mm. Again, not a big deal but that’s what reviews are for, the good, the bad and the ugly. I would purchase this product again. Delivery was FAST and FREE!




by:

Well made quality brake replacements. Very good parts for the price. Brakes were an exact fit replacement for my 2004 EzLoader trailer.




by:

As always exceptional parts at a great price. Customer service is always excellent, and usually receive items before promised ship date. Not only can I find all my trailer needs but I can find a lot of great accessories for my truck as well. I have ordered Multiple times and always feel good about my purchases and the parts that I receive




by:

Great company. Brakes w/ backing plates. Everything fit perfectly. Ship on time. Price was better than brick an mortar. I will definitely keep using Etrailer great place.




by:

Another great update to my 1991 Mastercraft Trailer.




by:

I ordered the parts on-line due to the long wait times on the phone. But when I did get through, Halley was very helpful in getting me the information I needed to make my purchase. The speed and communication of shipping the parts to me was excellent! I will always use etrailer for all my trailer part needs......




by:

I was very impressed and appreciative with the help I received from Greg. He was spot on with his advice. To my surprise the parts were delivered the very next day and they were perfect. The parts were the quality I was expecting and installation was easy. Thanks for your helpL




by:

Everything’ came in good shape and was delivered quicker than it was scheduled. Order was complete and packed well. Great service and will use again. Thx

These are great. Saved a lot of time being all assembled, just bolted them on. Used for a year now. Installed on heavy boat trailer. Work great. reassuring as I have to tow up and down some fairly large hills on the way to the lake.

See what our Experts say about this Dexter Trailer Brakes

  • Will Titan Hydraulic Brake Assemblies # T4423500-400 Fit DICO 15638 Hub/Drums
    The DICO brake drums 15638 you have are designed for 10 inch by 2-1/4 inch brake assemblies like what the brake assembly kit part # T4423500-400 you referenced provides so these would fit and work well for you.

  • Can Free-Backing Plates be Used with Actuator that Has Reverse Lock Out
    Free backing plates would be redundant if the actuator of your trailer already has a reverse lockout but prevents the brakes from applying when backing up but they wouldn't hurt anything otherwise. So if you wanted to use the part # T4423500-400 there's no reason you couldn't.

  • What is Most Common 10 inch Diameter Trailer Brake Assembly Capacity
    In the 10 inch brake size the most popular axle capacity is 3,500 lb. I'd be surprised if you had a higher or lower capacity than that but typically you can find the axle capacity either listed on the VIN plate of the trailer or even on the axle itself. A slightly higher capacity at 3,750 lbs for the assemblies wouldn't make a noticeable difference though so the part # T4423500-400 would work.

  • Hydraulic 10 Inch Free Backing Trailer Brakes Lock Up When Wet
    What it sounds like is happening with the Dexter Hydraulic Brake Kit - Free Backing - Galphorite - 10" - Left/Right Hand - 3,750 lbs # T4423500-400 locking up when wet is the shoe has likely absorbed moisture and expanded, causing the lock up. That's why when they dry they still work as intended. That's the best guess anyway as I'm not quite sure what else it could be, and unfortunately there isn't a fix for this, so you can either replace the whole brake kit with # T4423500-400 or try...

  • Will theTitan Hydraulic Brake Kit T4423500-400 Work With a 7,000 lb Actuator
    Yes, the Titan Zinc-Plated, Leverlock Brake Actuator part # T43329007K will be sufficient to power two sets of the Titan Hydraulic Brake Kit part # T4423500-400. The combined weight capacity of the braking assemblies can exceed that of the coupler.

  • Will 4 Bolt Mounting Spacing on Titan Hydraulic Brake Kit Match 2-3/4 Spacing for Backing Plate
    The 4-bolt hole mounting pattern for the Titan Hydraulic Brake Kit # T4423500-400 that you referenced will match up with your bolt spacing. For your hydraulic braking system this is an excellent option especially if you have a surge brake actuator. The free-backing feature allows you to back your trailer up without activating the brakes and the Galphorite plating provides superior corrosion protection. You just need an adjustment spoon like part # W80630 to properly adjust your brakes.

  • Are Mounting Bolts Included with the Titan 10" Hydraulic Brake Kit
    The Titan 10" Hydraulic Brake Kit - Free Backing part # T4423500-400 does not come with the installation hardware but we do have exactly what you will need with the Mounting Bolts and Hardware for 10" Single Brake Assembly part # BRKH10AS. You will require one hardware kit per assembly you are installing.

  • Replacement Titan Brake Shoes For 10" Free Backing Hydraulic Brakes
    We do carry reaplcement brake shoes for the Titan 10" free backing brakes with part # T4744800 and part # T4742700 for uni-servo 10" Titan hydraulic brakes (standard brakes). We do not carry them as a kit for all 4 wheels however, it may be more cost effective to just replace the whole braking assembly instead of the brake shoe. If you have free backing brakes on the trailer I recommend Titan Hydraulic Brake Kit - Free Backing - Galphorite part # T4423500-400 which have a galphorite plating...

  • Determining Which Brakes Fit 10" x 2-1/2" Drums On Boat Trailer
    Based on the information you provided either the Titan Hydraulic Brake Kit - Free Backing - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,750 lbs # T4071600-500 or # T4423500-400 will fit your drums. The only difference between these two brakes is the # T4071600-500 are made of standard metal where the # T4423500-400 have a Galphorite coating giving it superior corrosion resistance. Since you are putting these brakes on a boat trailer I recommend the # T4423500-400 as they will be less likely...

  • How To Add 10 Inch Surge Brakes To a 2,500 Lb Trailer Axle On a Boat Trailer
    Yes, the Titan Zinc-Plated, Leverlock Brake Actuator part # T43329007K will be sufficient to power two sets of the Titan Hydraulic Brake Kit part # T4423500-400 and the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 8-247-50UC3 will work with these as well as the spindles on your trailer if what you provided is correct. The weight capacity for the actuator is for the coupler portion, not the master cylinder so you could use braking assemblies that exceed this without issue.

  • Recommended Replacement Brake Assemblies For Eagle Trailer Drum Brakes
    We have a few product options to replace your brake assemblies. I recommend the Hydraulic Brake Kit - Uni-Servo - Free Backing - Dacromet - 10" - Left/Right Hand - 3,500 lbs # AKFBBRK-35-D. This will give you both assemblies for one axle. These are free-backing so you can back up with your trailer without engaging the trailer brakes. They are marine-grade and designed for boat trailers.

  • Does the Titan T4423500-400 Brake Kit Include Drums?
    The Titan Hydraulic Brake Kit - Free Backing - Galphorite - 10" - Left/Right Hand - 3,750 lbs # T4423500-400 will just be the brakes. If you are needing to replace your drums as well, etrailer.com Easy Grease Trailer Hub/Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 10" Diameter - Galvanized # AKHD-545-35-G-EZ-K will mate to the # T4423500-400 without issues.

  • Replacement Parts for EZ Loader Trailer with DICO Model 10 Actuator & Reliable Sure Lube Hubs
    For your EZ Loader Trailer with DICO model 10 actuator and Reliable Sure Lube Hubs, I absolutely have recommendations for you. The Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator # T2477600 is the Titan model 10 actuator that is nearly identical to the DICO model 10 you are replacing. If you want the electric lockout, you can use # T4748800 and Shield # T4836100183. For your brake assemblies, I recommend the Titan Hydraulic Brake Kit - Free Backing - Galphorite # T4423500-400 and mounting bolts # BRKH10A....

  • Replacement Brake Shoes And Wheel Cylinders For Mastercraft Boat Trailer
    For your Mastercraft Boat Trailer, I recommend the Titan Hydraulic Brake Kit - Free Backing - Galphorite - 10" - Left/Right Hand - 3,750 lbs # T4423500-400. The complete assembly is often less expensive than replacing the individual components. If you want just the components you mentioned, I recommend the 10" X 2-1/4" Hydraulic Brake Shoe/Lining (One Wheel) # BP04-120 and the Wheel Cylinder - 10" and 12" Single Servo RH # BP17-020 in addition to the left hand # BP17-030.
