• How to Install the Breakaway and Parking Kit on a Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly
  Yes, I can help you with the install of the Dexter Breakaway and Parking Kit for Drum Brakes # T2385200 (Replaced the Titan 2385200) on your Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # K23-086-00. To install the parking brake cable, the cable is fed through the brake's backing plate and attached to the park linkage. I have included a diagram that will help identify how this is done. We do not have access to the schematics, so I will not be able to provide those.

• How Far Does the Dexter Hub # 84556UC3 Center Bore Extend From the Mounting Face of Hub?
  I went out to the warehouse to measure the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 5 # 84556UC3 and the center bore will stick out 1-3/4 inches from the hub face and the dust cap will add 7/8 inch. These hubs will work well on the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 89" Long - 3,500 lbs # T3584F-EZ-8974. For your brake assemblies, I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # AKEBRK-35-SA if...

• Which Axle of Tandem Axle Trailer Normally has Brake Axle
  It's not uncommon for a tandem axle trailer to have brakes on only one axle. Typically for utility trailers which have more weight towards the front the front axle is the one that will have the brakes and trailers like boat trailers which carry more weight towards the rear of them will have the brake axle as the rear one. The same concept would be applied for parking brakes as well. If your trailer has an electric dump that would put more weight at the rear of it than usual with the hydraulics...

• Operation of Parking Brake on Electric Trailer Brake Assemblies
  The Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly w/ Parking Brake # K23-086-00 and # K23-087-00 both utilize the 12V power from your electric brake controller for regular brake operation or the 12V breakaway battery for emergency braking, but utilizes the manual lever on the backside of the brake assembly for a mechanical brake to hold your trailer in place when the parking brake cable assembly is used. For this mechanical parking brake feature Dexter doesn't offer an assembly for their brake...

• How to Install Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly on Trailer Without Brake Mounting Flange
  In order to install the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly part # K23-086-00 on your trailer you will need to install a brake mounting flange as well. Based on the photo you submitted, there isn't room to install a brake mounting flange on the axle but you should be able to install it on the stud just before where the grease seal seats. If the diameter of the stub you have is 1-3/4" then you can use the Brake Mounting Flange part # 4-34 otherwise you would need to fabricate something...

• Is the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly w/ Parking Brake # K23-086-00 Free Backing
  The Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly w/ Parking Brake - 10" - Left Hand - 3,500 lbs # K23-086-00 do not need to be free backing. Free backing is only needed for hydraulic brakes that can lock up when reversing.

• Is There a Parking Brake Option While Trailer is Not Connected to Tow Vehicle
  I do not recommend using a parking brake of any type while the trailer is not in operation. The reason I don't is because locking the brakes up for extended periods of time can actually cause damage to the assemblies and will certainly drain the batteries. I would recommend something like the Buyers Products 10" Wheel Chock w/ 3-1/2" Handle - Heavy Duty Rubber - Qty 1 # 337WC1086UWH. Wheel Chocks will prevent your trailer from moving and these particular chocks have a nice handle.

• Can I use the Curt Echo Brake Controller as an Emergency Brake
  Since a brake controller reacts to either the brake pedal of the tow vehicle being depressed or the internal mechanisms within the controller reacting to a change in inertia while traveling, they cannot truly be used as a parking brake. Additionally, not all trailer brakes have an emergency brake system on them, and those that do usually require a small modification. Brakes like the # K23-086-00 and # K23-087-00 both have manual parking brakes. These brakes utilize the 12V power from your...

• Recommended Spindles and Electric Brake Assemblies with Parking Brake for Trailer Build
  For that axle dimension, you would need to use the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension System. This will allow you to determine the distance of your hub faces and simply cut a 2 inch square bar to length to use in the integrated holes. I recommend you use the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Straight Spindle Only - 3,500 lbs # ASR3500S05. With these spindles, you can then use the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # 84546UC3-EZ....
