Question:
Do you know what part number I need to replace the brakes and backer plate for a 2015 Airstream 27’ Eddie Bauer with Dexter Never Lube Axles? It has 12” drums

Expert Reply:
I sure do Ronnie and welcome back! The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes item # 23-458-459 are exactly what you need. These self adjusting set of brake assemblies will replace the 12" ones currently on your Airstream trailer. They have a built in backing plate that is going to bolt right up to your axle's 5-bolt brake flange for a simple installation.
Please note that the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes item # 23-458-459 are sold as a left and right set so you'll need one set per axle.
Did you have some kind of a failure or are you just replacing some older worn out brakes?

I installed these Never Adjust brake assemblies on my 2000 Alpenlite as well as new drums. The drums have the inner bearings and grease seal already installed making the whole brake job very simple.
