Exact replacement for the airstream 12x 2 brake assembly. Service and delivery were excellent.

Fit perfectly and easy to install

Fast delivery, product fit perfectly and was just as discribed. Purchased 6 never adjust Assy's for 6000 lb axles. Much easier than replacing part by part.

Did a remove and replace. Original Dexter Brake assemblies had curved wear and missing the brake adjusting plugs, getting dust and no doubt water in them from the Airstream plant in Jackson Center, OH. All EIGHT of eight wheels had them missing.
That was my Problem. Now the Cure:
etrailer had two Brake Assembly kits at my door three days after ordering. I installed them today and they work and had supplied five fresh locking bolts and the two plastic brake adjusting plugs.
I am one happy Airstream trailer camper. First time doing brakes on a trailer and it was much easier doing the complete assembly. Will break them in as suggested in their installation instructions.
I recommended etrailer.com on the Airforums.com that Airstream owners follow for information. One member already said he ordered parts, as he did not know how to find what he needed.
Excellent service ordering from my computer. Notice of parts being shipped was emailed to me. Parts were dropped off at my doorstop. If the carton had some glazed doughnuts included... it would have been 5% better.
George J.... you did me right as a first time customer.

Perfect replacement for my 24ft Hallmark trailer. Very easy to install, just bolt on and connect the wires. With the automatic adjustment there is nothing else to do! I recommend putting some extra anti-seize to be on the safe side (I had similar brakes seize up after a big winter in the North East). Also you will need 2 plugs per assembly to cover the adjustment holes (the brakes don't come with any plug and have 2 holes!)

New brake assemblies were easier to install than just shoes and price was not much more than shoes. Excellent quality. Work better than originals.
by: J.D.02/10/2017
These went on very easy, and worked great right out of the box. It was nice to have them all match. I spliced them in a couple days before going on a 1,000+ mile vacation to Arizona. They've worked flawlessly (I check them to make sure they aren't hung up). This was just one headache eliminated for the trip by just getting new brakes instead of messing around with junky old ones. We've had the toyhauler out on several other trips also. I will purchase again if I need any for another trailer.

The brakes have been working great. After the initial installment and adjustment, I havent had to do any additional work to any of them. They are performing great, really better than I expected. I always test them with my brake controller when I first get back on the road and they have always worked. I have recd a few of my friends to buy any parts they need from your website as it was easy and had lots of options trailer stores around here are pretty limited.

This part was an exact fit replacement. It has worked perfectly
by: Mike Mckee05/29/2013
I purchased the 12" auto adjust brake set for my trailer. They arrived in a timely manner and installation was VERY easy. 5 bolts and 2 wire connections and one unit done.
They worked as they should from the first use. I only took it around the block to make sure they worked as they should and they worked just fine.
If you need to replace your brakes I would look at these as they make it A LOT easier than just replacing the shoes although a bit more expensive, but then again everything on the backing plate is new and won't need to be replaced for a long time down the road.

I am real happy with them! I have an older double axel 29ft toy hauler thatonly 2 of the 4 brakes were working. So after installing the new brakesneedless to say it stops like it should!Im very happy with them and glad that they worked like they were supposedto!If I need parts again I check your site to see if you have it and go fromthere.Thanks again!

I ordered a Dexter Nev-R-Adjust electric brake assembly. Easy purchase. Great shipping. Super simple part to in install. If I need trailer parts again, I'll definitely return for more this great service and excellent parts.
by: T Dasher10/28/2022
This was a replacement for a Dexter brake that was on a 4 year old Airstream that had less than 9000 miles on it and proved to be defective. Dexter wouldn’t honor the 5-year warranty since I was the original owner. Service from etrailer was great but I wouldn’t select another Dexter product if there were other options.
by: Great product, made in the USA. 08/31/2015
I bought these for my 30' fifth wheel trailer. The product arrived quickly from Etrailer.com. Appears to be well made with quality components made in the USA. I have only completed one side so, I can not write about performance however, from my initial impression these will work fine.
Great J.

Its been a year since the install and I am happy to say all is well. One thing to note about these brakes is you must adjust them initially!. It will take a very long time to adjust them if you dont do the initial adjustment. The paint has not chipped nor do I see any signs of rust.
by: Steve08/16/2021
Quick shipment, super easy to install. Remove 5 bolts, cut the wires and the old one comes off. Tighten 5 bolts, reconnect the wires and put the drum back on.

Brakes are still working great, no issues!! Don’t forget to re-torque the wheels after a few hundred miles.
by: Steve W05/17/2017
Wanted to wait until after our most recent trip with our trailer before giving you the one year follow-up. Just pulled the trailer almost 1000 miles in the Rocky Mountains. The Nev-R-Adjust brakes & drums worked great and I felt very confident in their performance. I really appreciate not having to crawl under the trailer to adjust the brakes. All are good products and I would recommend them to all.
by: Richard12/10/2021
We put these never adjust brakes on after we removed the manual adjust brakes from our Cargo Trailer converted to a RV. We then installed the never adjust electric brakes and broke them in according to the instructions. We then started and completed a 19,400 mile trip from Florida to California then to Washington then to the UP of Michigan then to the Adirondack Mountains of NY and then back to Florida. We never had a problem with the brakes. We visited 17 National Parks, 7 state parks and numerous national forests. Great trip with no problems.

The conversion from Hydraulic to electric brakes was TOO easy. Totally completed 4 wheel overhaul (bearing kit BK3-110) and brake conversion (including wiring) in just over 3 hours. On the road and working AWESOME. Only item that threw me (not a big deal) the cotter pin in BK3-110 was too small for the spindle and nut. Had some the right size in the shop so no worries.
by: Monty08/03/2015
These Dexter fit the Lippert axles perfectly. I HAVE NOT road tested them yet, but wanted to leave a review regardless mainly because etrailer asked me to. These brakes are a good value, really, but they are packaged poorly in a large box with only some brown paper. They are pretty heavy and that means lots of banging going on in delivery. One of the pads had a chip missing and 2 were unassembled--cable and star wheel dislodged. I contacted etrailer and they sent me 2 new ones and emailed me a return label. All said, it was an inconvenience, but the price can't be beat. Again, performance has yet to be determined, but I'm obviously all in as they are mounted.
by: John C02/11/2014
When I was looking for brake pads for our fifth wheel these came up as a very pleasant surprise. I had never seen these full brake assemblies before.
I had not done mechanical work for a good many years and these were perfect. All you have to do is undo five nuts, exchange old assembly for new and replace the nuts. You also have to splice the two wires for the electric brakes and you should be sure to use a heat shrink sleeve to keep the connection from corroding. BTW, you don't have to worry about polarity with the wires.
In short it takes longer to dismount the tire and hub than it does to change these out. Great.
Regrettably, I forgot to take pics but these make for a very clean job.
by: Dan B07/04/2015
So far so good. Instulation was easy and straight forward. Haven't had a chance to try them yet.
by: Doug11/08/2014
I purchased 4 of the 12" Nev-R-Adjust brake assemblies for my Cardinal becuse I have been having some squeaky and binding brake issues with the old ones. I was surprised at how quickly I received them. They are easy to install; just undo the old wiring, remove the five bolts holding the backing plate brake assembly and put the new ones on. These are a bit more expensive than replacing just the shoes but ALOT easier and more dependable. Unfortunately I have not had a chance to test drive the rig to see if this corrected the problem.
But take note that the two little rubber covers on the backing plate by the star wheel are not included. These must be ordered seperately.
by: PHS09/02/2016
Bought a used skid steer trailer that needed all new bearings and electric brakes. It was easy to find the correct bearing kit on etrailer and installation videos on the site made it a breeze for a DIY'er.
by: HENRY W07/10/2014
Easy change over. Just bolted them on and hooked up the wires adjusted,and was good to go. Thanks Hank

- Brake Assembly Replacement Recommendation for 2004 Keystone Big Sky RVIn most cases it is about the same price and a better choice just to replace the entire brake assembly instead of trying to replace just the brake linings. As long as you have a 5 bolt mounting flange for your brake assemblies (you should based on the brake size you listed) I would recommend the part # 23-459 for a right hand assembly and the part # 23-458 for a left hand assembly. These assemblies are nice because they will automatically adjust to deliver optimum performance and braking...
view full answer... - Replacement Bearings, Hubs, and Brakes For Dexter Axle On 2019 Jayco Eagle 25.5REOK 5TH Wheel CamperYour Dexter axle needs the Bearing Kit # BK3-300 to fit the Hub # K08-201-98 that came on your axles. We do have the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-458-459 if you are needing to replace the assemblies. They are also available separately Right # 23-459 and Left # 23-458 or as just the Right Shoes # K71-676 and Left Shoes # K71-675. I recommend the Seal Puller # PTW1219 and Install Set # PTW83020 to make changing the bearings and races easier.

We can help you select new brakes. The things you'll need to confirm are the axle's weight rating, the drum size, the type of brakes (electric or hydraulic) and the mounting bolt pattern of the brake flange. Axle capacity is usually listed on a plate or sticker right on the axle itself. Drum size can be determined by pulling one of the hub/drum assemblies and measuring...

- 12 by 2 inch Brake Assembly Recommendation for a Dexter 5,200 lb AxleFor your 5,200 lb Lippert axles I would recommend the Dexter brake assembly part # 23-459 for the right hand side of your trailer and part # 23-458 for the left hand side. Both these assemblies are 12 by 2 inch assemblies designed to fit the 5 bolt mounting flange you have on your axles.

You can also determine the axle capacities by measuring their diameter. Typical Axle Diameters Based on Axle Capacity - 1,000-lb -...

I would recommend you go ahead and replace both assemblies. Based on the number that is on the sticker of your brake assembly I was able to determine that your brake assemblies are 12x2, have a 5 bolt mounting flange and are designed for 5,200 lb...

- Replacement Braking Assemblies for a 2019 Airstream International Signature Travel TrailerIt looks like you have the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # 23-459. This is going to be the direct right hand replacement for what you currently have. For the left hand side, you're going to need # 23-458. The only other thing you'll need are the mounting bolts # BRKH12 and you'll be set.

- How to Pick Out Brake Assemblies for Travel TrailerI can help you find the right assemblies, but I do not know exactly which ones you have on your trailer. To pick out the correct brake assemblies for your trailer you need to know a few things. You will want to measure the inner diameter of your hub/drums and the depth of the drums to determine what brake assembly dimensions you need. For example the part # 40716 is a 10 inch by 2-1/4 inch thick brake assembly. You also want to determine what the bolt pattern is of your assembly mounting...

- Recommended Replacement Brake Assemblies for Bandit Tandem Axle Dump TrailerYou will want to match up your four new brake assemblies to the existing ones to ensure they will mount properly to your brake flanges, fit your hubs and provide the correct stopping power. Its easiest to do this by pulling one of your hubs and measuring the diameter and width of one of your current brakes. Ideally you will also be able to find on the axles a sticker or plate that indicates the axle capacity so that your new brakes will have a capacity equal to or greater than required...
view full answer... - What Brake Thickness Should Dexter 5,200 lb Trailer Brake Assemblies be Replaced AtOn 5,200 lb Dexter brake assemblies you'd want to replace the brake pads when they have gotten thinner than 1/16 of an inch. So since you are at 1/4 of an inch yours are still fine.
view full answer... - Is there a Difference Between Dexter 6k and 7k Rated 12x2 Electric Brake AssembliesActually for a 6k rated Dexter 12x2 brake assembly you would want the part # 23-459 for the right hand side and part # 23-458 for the left hand side. Then for a 7k rated assembly you would want part # 23-465 for the right hand side and part # 23-464 for the left hand side. The magnets are rated differently. That is the biggest difference.
view full answer... - Correct Replacement Brakes for a Dexter 23-459-01 and 23-458-01I did some research and it looks like the only difference between your 023-459-01 kit and the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # 23-459 is that your kit came with 33" leads and the other kits # 23-459 & # 23-458 do not. So, with that said, these'll work just fine to replace your original brakes.

Typically these hubs are very hard to find replacement parts for since they are designed for one time use. I recommend replacing the entire axle and its setup, it is likely that the weight capacity is between 5,200-7,000lbs, since they are 12 inch brakes. We offer an 5,200 axle-less system by Timbren # ASR5200S04 that uses the same inner and outer bearing numbers that the 8-133 axle did according to Dexter. If you wanted to try to replace the...

- Install Video to Use for Installation of Brake Controller in a 2000 Ford E-250The pads on trailer brake assemblies like the part # 23-459 that you most likely have on your trailer are pretty thin when compared to the pads that were on older cars. I attached an install video that shows the P3 # 90195 being installed in a similar 2004 Ford Van as yours for you to check out. The procedure will be very similar and will use the part # ETBC7.

- Replacement Brake Assemblies for 6k 12-inch Drums Since all you need to swap from hydraulic drum brakes to electric drum brakes is the correct brake assembly you do not need bearing info. Basically the info you provided of the assembly diameter, width and bolt pattern plus axle capacity would be all that you need. All you need is the part # 23-459 for the right hand side and the part # 23-458 for the left hand side. These are self-adjusting brakes that would work well.

The magnet actuator arm should point towards the front of the trailer. So for # 23-459 as an example based on placement of the brake assembly that has the magnet arm pointed forward you can tell this is a right hand assembly. If you do have...

The brake assemblies haven't been activated enough times for them to find the right setting.

For an idler hub, go with the # AKIHUB-655-6-EZ-K. Both hubs use the # 25580 inner and # 15123 outer bearing, which is compatible with the spindle used by the Timbren # ASR35HDS02 axle-less suspension you referred to.
