Question:

I have 2 7k dexter axles under my trailer. I would like to replace the entire braking system, bearings and spindles. Do you offer a complete kit that comes with everything. I would also like to note that I had an emergency repair done at trailer shop last year and the new drum the put on had smaller diameter wheel studs, I think 1/2inch instead of 9/16. I would like the larger study if possible. Thank you.

Expert Reply:

For your Dexter 7,000 lbs axles, I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA. These brake assemblies are side specific and are labeled for you. They are self adjusting after the initial adjustment at installation.

We don't carry the spindles for your 7,000 lb axles, but we do have the hub and drum assemblies that will fit a traditional style spindle or an E-Z lube spindle with the 9/16 lug bolts. For a traditional hub assembly, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 7,000-lb Axles - 12" Diameter - 8 on 6-1/2 # AKHD-865-7-1-K and for the E-Z Lube Assemblies I recommend # AKHD-865-7-1-EZ-K. These assemblies will contain the bearings, races, seals, grease caps and lug nuts.
