Quick Tip: There's really not a whole lot to getting new drum brakes. If you've confirmed that all of the specs listed above line up with what you need for your trailer, you can be pretty sure these will work for you.
Ready to Roll When You Are
If you're looking to customize your off-road trailer or pop-up camper, these brakes can be a great way to do that.
Installing these brakes is easy, and using them is even easier. Run the linkage cable from your tongue-mounted handbrake (not included) to the lever on the backing plate of the assembly as shown above. Then, just pull on the handbrake any time you need a little reassurance that your valuable cargo won't roll away from you.
How to Manually Adjust Trailer Brakes
The more miles you put on your trailer, the more your brake pads will wear down. As they lose contact with the drum, stopping distances get longer and longer. To keep your brakes working great, it's important to adjust them pretty routinely. For this job, grab a floor jack and either a brake adjustment tool (sold separately) or just a standard flathead screwdriver.
Jack up your trailer enough to get the wheel(s) off the ground. Remove the adjuster plugs from the backing plate on the brake, and insert the flat end of the tool through the back of the assembly.
Push in on the star gear and lift it up. Keep doing this until the brake pads catch on your drum. When you can't spin your wheel by hand anymore, back the gear off by about 10 clicks by pushing down on the star gear. Does the wheel now spin freely (even if it sounds like the brake pads drag slightly on the drum)? Great! Then you're all done with that one and ready to adjust the rest.
How to Break In New Brakes
After you get these brakes installed and adjusted, you'll need to break them in. First, find a long stretch of road or a big, empty parking lot. Once you're there, set your brake controller to its maximum setting and get moving. Speed up to about 40 mph and brake to slow to about 20 mph. Repeat this 15-30 times. The goal is to get the brake shoes and magnet properly seated into your drum. You'll know you've done that when it feels less jerky (and more consistent) each time you apply the brakes.
Note: The brakes will be very hot after doing this, so after every 10 stops you'll want to wait about 10 minutes to let the brakes cool off before continuing. If you don't, you might cook and crack the pad material.

- Electric Brake Kit For Two 2,200 lb Axles On Aluma TrailerSince you have two 2,200 lb trailer brakes you should get two of the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kits # K23-103-104-00. These are good for 10", 12" and 13" wheels. This kit requires a mounting flange bolt pattern of 4" x 4" and are 7 x 1-1/4 drum brakes. A 4" x 4" E-Z Lube Axle # 8-173-16UC3-EZ or standard axle hub # 8-173-16UC3 will work but make sure that your hubs use the # L44649 inner and outer bearing to make sure these hubs are correct for your Aluma Trailer. All the hardware is...

Since you are getting 62" inside to inside you are actually probably closer to 72" hub face to hub face. The closest standard axle we have to that length is the Dexter Trailer Idler Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 72" Long - 2,200 lbs # T20BTR-EZ-7258 which has a hub face to hub face measurement of 72" and a spring center to spring center...

- Will Dexter Electric Brakes w/ Parking Brake Work w/ Timbren Axleless ASR2KHDS02 Brake FlangeThe Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit w/ Parking Brakes - 7" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 2.2K # K23-103-104-00 fit a 4-bolt pattern so yes, they will technically fit the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Straight Spindle - Wide Tires - 2,000 lbs # ASR2KHDS02. But those brakes are too small for the hub that fits the Timbren # ASR2KHDS02, which is the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # 84546UC3-EZ.

I was able to contact Jayco and confirm that your 2015 Jayco Sport 10SD came from the factory with a 2,200 pound Dexter EZ Lube axle. With this in mind, the Dexter E-Z Lube Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-173-16UC3-EZ is the correct hub and drum for the trailer. It features the 4 on 4 inch bolt pattern you are needing along with the E-Z Lube grease cap with plug and seal to allow for easy bearing maintenance. Since you will be changing out the hubs...

The brake assemblies are compatible with 12 inch wheels used by your 145R80 tires. The installation is pretty easy if you're moderately handy. The video I've linked for you will provide an overview of what's involved. The video shows a larger brake assembly being installed, but the procedure for a 7 inch assembly would be pretty similar. Really the only difference...
view full answer... - Recommendation for Adding Parking Brake to Electric Trailer Brake AssembliesMost trailers do not come with parking brakes, but you can add them with certain electric brake assemblies. If your trailer has 7 inch brakes, then you will want the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit w/ Parking Brakes - 7" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 2.2K # K23-103-104-00. If your trailer has 10 inch brake assemblies, then you will want # K23-086-087-00.

- Adding Brakes to a 2015 Jayco Jay Sport 8SDIf you want parking brakes for your 2015 Jayco Jay Sport 8SD then you do want to go with the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # K23-103-104-00. Parking brakes aren't required so if you would rather use standard brakes then you can use the part # 23-47-48 that you referenced instead. If your spindles don't already have the brake mounting flanges then you need those, like part # 4-34, as well. Please note that if you haven't had brakes on your trailer yet then you also need hub and drum...

- Brake Drum Recommendation for InTech Flyer Chase TrailerSince you have 2,200 Dexter axles and the Dexter brake assemblies # K23-103-104-00 and I can tell you have a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern the hub drums you'd need are the part # 8-271-7UC3-EZ. The last thing you'll need is 10 gauge wire that you'd run from the brake assemblies to the trailer connector with part # 10-1-1 which we offer by the foot.

- Replacement Brakes for Unknown Dexter Axle on 1987 Fleetwood 5th Wheel TrailerFor your braking assembly you will simply need to measure your hub diameter or the backing plate on your brake assembly and the thickness of your hubs. You will either need the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,000 lbs # K23-472-473-00 that are 10 x 1-1/2 inches or the wider brake shoe assemblies # 23-468-469 that are 10 x 2-1/4 inches.

A better solution is to upgrade your current axles with something like Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Spindle w/Brake Flange - Regular Tires - 2,200 lbs # ASR1THDS01, or if you need lift spindles you can go with Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System -...

- Determining Correct Electric Brake Assemblies for 2,200 Pound Axles on Viking Pop Up CamperAs long as you have 7 inch x 1-1/4 inch drums on your newly acquired trailer, there is no reason you can't install the Dexter Electric Brake Kit # 23-47-48 for 2,000 Pound Axles instead of the # K23-103-104-00 that you referenced for 2,200 Pound Axles. Both brake assemblies are the exact same size, are compatible with 10, 12 and 13 inch wheels, and feature a 4 bolt mounting flange pattern. You will just want to make sure this bolt pattern matches up to your existing mounting flanges....
view full answer... - Can You Add Trailer Brakes To A Trailer With 2200lb AxlesAbsolutely! If your auto-flex 2200 lb axle does not already have a 4-bolt brake mounting flange you would need to add one. Assuming that your axle is 1-3/4" diameter you would need the # 4-34. The brake mounting flange will need to be welded on by a professional as it needs to be welded perfectly square to the axle or you may experience abnormal tire wear or other braking issues. Next you will need to confirm the inner and outer bearings your current hubs use. You can do this by removing...

- Replacement Bearings and Braking Assemblies For 2200lb Dexter P-12 Trailer AxleI reached out to my contact at Dexter and based on the serial number you provided your axle has a 2200lb axle rating and uses inner and outer bearings # L44649, and races # L44610. For replacement braking assemblies you will need Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit w/ Parking Brakes - 7" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 2.2K # K23-103-104-00, and if your hub and drum assemblies are in need of replacement you will need # 8-173-16UC3.

The Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit w/ Parking Brakes # K23-103-104-00 is a great option if you are looking to add a parking brake. If you aren't planning on adding a parking brake you can use the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-2.

view full answer... - Correct 7 inch Electric Drum Brake Assemblies and Hub and Drums for Little Guy Silver Shadow TrailerThe Dexter brake assemblies, part # K23-103-104-00, are for 10 to 13 inch rims. They're designed for 2,200 pound axles that have a 7 by 1-1/4 inch drum. The hubs for a 2,200 pound axle that we carry have a 4 on 4 bolt pattern; parts # 8-173-16UC3-EZ for E-Z lube axles and # 8-173-16UC3 for standard axles. You need to verify that your Little Guy Silver Shadow uses bearings # L44649 for both the inner and outer to confirm the hubs are correct.

Most likely the trailer came with a 4-way connector so to upgrade it to a 7-way the easiest way is with the junction box kit part # HS381-9000. When it's time for a...

With them in this orientation you just aren't going to get the type of power/response when hitting the brake pedal that you otherwise would with them installed correctly. Also note that if you do decide to go this route you will still want to keep the assemblies on the correct...
