Replacement Surge Brake Actuator For Trailer W/ Older Swing Away Actuator For Disc Brakes

Question:

I am need to replace my Surge Brake Actuator assembly, it is a swing away set up. Can you tell me what I need, it is 4 wheel Disc Brakes. I can not seem to find anything that looks like it would work. Thanks

Thank you for the pictures!

For a replacement option I recommend the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout - Bolt On - Disc - 2" Ball - Zinc - 7.5K # DX29FR to replace your current actuator. The # DX29FR has a 7500lb trailer weight rating, is designed for trailers with disc brakes, and is a bolt on replacement. You will likely also need a replacement swing away tongue adapter like the Fulton Fold-Away Coupler Hinge Kit for 3" x 4" Tongue # FHDPB340301 which fits 3" x 4" diameter tongues unless there a 3" wide channel underneath your current coupler.

If you have a different size tongue just let me know and I would be happy to recommend the correct swing away adapter if needed.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
