• Replacement Dexter Brake Assembly Recommendation for a 9k Dexter Axle
  So I was able to pull up some information on your Dexter Axle and based on the 008-232-05 number you listed it looks like you have a 9k rated axle. So for Dexter 9k brake assemblies you would want the part # 23-451 for the right side and part # 23-450 for the left side. These assemblies are 12-1/4 inch by 3-3/8 inch and are self adjusting. These also use a 6 lug bolt pattern to attach to the spindle of the trailer. Check out the review video I attached as well.

• How to Determine What Brake Assembly Goes On What Side of Trailer
  You referenced the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # 23-451 so I will use it as an example. This is a right hand brake assembly, and by that I mean that is goes on the passenger side of the vehicle. The actuating arm (the bracket that the brake magnet attaches to), should go in front of the spindle in relation to the forward direction of the trailer. Another way to look at is that the arm is the front of an "arrow," and it always points towards the front of the trailer. See picture...

• Electric Brake Assemblies for Brake Flanges on 1971 Horse Trailer
  Electric trailer brakes should be selected based on your axle's weight capacity, which should be listed on a plate or sticker on the axle itself, and of course based on the brake flange mounting pattern. The electric brakes we offer can have 4-bolt, 5-bolt, or 7-bolt mounting patterns. Some have multiple bolt hole patterns, both 4- and 5-bolt such as the Hayes/Alko # 185100, or both 5- and 7-bolt, such as Dexter # 23-451. We do not offer brakes with a 6-bolt pattern, but that does not...

• Width of Brake Pads on 28 Foot Gooseneck Trailer With Dexter 10K Axles
  To determine which brake assembly you need, measure the width of your brake linings, as shown in the photo I edited for you.

• Electric Brake Assembly for Sundowner Horse Trailer
  We offer both complete electric brake assemblies and replacement parts for them. Often it is more cost-effective to replace the entire brake assembly than to purchase the various replacement parts to repair one but we can help with either option. Brake assemblies are selected based on axle capacity. For example, if your trailer uses a 10,000-lb-rated axle then appropriate electric brake assemblies for that weight capacity are available in two sizes: 12-1/4 x 3-3/8-inch and 12-1/4 x 4-inch....

• How to Select Correct Disc Brake Kit for Trailer
  The Dexter electric drum brake # 23-451 you referenced in your question does not require an electric-over-hydraulic (EOH) actuator since it will be powered directly by a brake controller in the tow vehicle such as the Prodigy P3 # 90195. The two Dexter EOH actuators we offer are parts # K71-651 for disc brakes and # K71-650 for drum brakes and these allow such a controller to work with hydraulic disc or hydraulic drum trailer brakes. Brakes for a trailer should be selected based on the...

• Replacement Electric Drum Trailer Brakes for a 10,000 Pound Wells Cargo Trailer
  The brakes on your Wells Cargo trailer could just be in need of adjustment. On drum brakes you will adjust the brakes so that there is a slight but constant drag of the pads on the drum when you turn the wheel.
