I can tell you how to determine if the Dexter Hydraulic Brake Kit # T1878800-700 fit your trailer, but we have no way of knowing fits for any one trailer. You'll need to measure the inside of your drum and it needs to be 10" diameter and at least 2-1/4" wide; you need to have a brake flange with four mounting holes, and your wheels need to be 14" or 15".

If you meet those requirements you can use the # T1878800-700; you'll also need Mounting Hardware # BRKH10A.

Hey Robert. The side bolts with the grease fittings should be tight on the Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator item #099-175-20. They're not holding the actuator on but you don't want the nuts backing themselves off. What kind of trailer do…

Hello James, thanks for reaching out. Both the kits you mentioned, the Hydrastar #HYD22FR and #HYD42FR are complete conversion kits for standard 3,500 lb axles. The difference is the calipers included with each kit. The #HYD22FR has stainless steel…
