We do offer individual drum brake parts like shoes as well other parts, and we also have complete replacement brake assemblies. To save on labor time many of our customers choose to replace the whole brake. Sometimes that route even costs less than the individual parts.

For Dexter 10 x 2-1/4-inch electric Nev-R-Adjust drum brakes on a 3500-lb axle we offer right-hand shoe kit # K71-682 and left-hand kit # K71-681.

If you want a whole new pair of self-adjusting brakes for a 3500-lb axle use Dexter part # 23-468-469 or etrailer kit # AKEBRK-35-SA.

Brake assembly #K23-478-00 is a Nev-R-Adjust assembly. Like you said it is rated for 4,400 so it has a bigger magnet than a 3,500 pound assembly would have. The etrailer self-adjusting assembly is #AKEBRK-35L-SA rated for 3,500 pounds. One of the…

For a 3500 lb axle, having a mounting bolt pattern of 2-7/8 inches is typical. The only exception would be for a few 4400 lb axles, which use a mounting bolt pattern of 2-13/16. I checked with Dexter Axle, and was told that the 69-47 designation…

Answer 10

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…

Answer 11

To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…

Hi Rusty; the Dexter #84546UC3-EZ and etrailer #AKHD-5475-35-K will both fit a 3,500 lb axle but they have different bolt patterns. You already ordered the Dexter in the past so I'm assuming your wheels are 5 on 4-1/2. For the same bolt pattern…
