Electric Trailer Brake Assembly Review Video

If you already have brake drums you will not have to replace them unless they are damaged or became overheated and have discoloration on the inside armature surface where the magnet rides, grooves in the armature surface, or severe wear where the…

A 10 inch brake assembly is typical for a 3500 lb axle has 2-1/4 inch shoes. As long as there is room in the hub for this, I recommend using the wider shoe. It will give you more surface contact to function correctly. My recommendation is to use…

If your Tekonsha P3 Brake Controller, part #90195, displays the error message OUTPUT SHORTED NO BRAKES, the potential causes are a short in the brake output circuit somewhere between the brake controller and the trailer brake assemblies, or a shorted…

It does sound like there is a possible short with the brake magnets on your trailer, especially if all the wiring looks good between the brake controller and vehicle connector. I recommend first making sure that each magnet has one wire secured to…

Since Demco uses 3,500 drum brake assemblies part #DMSB24429M and #DMSB24428M what you'd need is similar 3,500 electric brake assemblies like the etrailer part #AKEBRK-35L-SA for the left hand side and #AKEBRK-35R-SA for the right hand side. To…

The problem could be that if the shoes are actually automotive brake shoes then they would not be a proper fit for a trailer set up. You would need the correct Dexter shoes for brake assembly #23-26. You would need #BP04-095. Make sure the lower…

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

As long as one of the wires coming from the back of the hub is a ground and the other is a power, it does not matter which wire on the magnet goes to which wire from the back of the hub. I have included a link to a video of a magnetic brake…

The closest trailer axle we have to the measurements you provided is the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles part #7359765. This axle has a 3,500 lb capacity with a 95" hub face to hub face and 80" spring center to spring center…

The Dexter trailer with 4 inch drop that you referenced #7685269-EB seemingly is the correct axle but you need to verify the hub face to hub face dimension as well. If that dimension is 95 inches this is the correct axle since this has 80 inches…

You can convert surge brakes to an electric over hydraulic braking system. To do this, you will need an electric over hydraulic actuator and a brake controller. For an electric over hydraulic actuator, I recommend looking at the Carlisle HydraStar…

Grease Seal #RG06-050 is the replacement part for the Dexter 010-019-00. It is 1.719 inches inner diameter and 2.565 inches outer diameter. It is a fit for 3500 lb axles. This is a confirmed replacement cross-reference.
