Today we're going to take a look at the replacement 3/8" diameter nut for the trailer suspension u-bolts or 12" brake assemblies. Now this 3/8" diameter nut is designed for use with u-bolts, it'll help secure your trailer's axle to it's leaf springs. Or also to fit 3/8" mounting bolts on your 12" brake assemblies. Now when you do use this on a brake assembly, it will also require a lock washer, which we do sell separately on our website. It's part number 38LW, it's also listed on this product page as a related product. Again the size on this nut is 3/8" by 24 threads per inch.
The overall diameter, or the wrench socket size, is 9/16 diameter. Happen to pull a 9/16 socket, and you can see it's made exactly for that. Now this part is for a quantity of one replacement nut. This nut is also available in a zinc finish if you need, it's part number 38NZ, and again it's sold separately on our website. But that should do it for the review on the replacement 3/8" nut for trailer suspension u-bolts, or 12" brake assemblies..

I'm just nuts over this product. Seriously though thanks fro getting the items to me in a timely manner. I am on Evacuation Advisory for the huge Rim fire that is currently happening in California. I live just a few mile from the perimeter of the blaze. The fifth wheel is all loaded up and ready to go but I was having troubles with the electronic brakes. Now I should have tome to get these new ones in place if and before the word to evacuate comes through! Thanks again!

Nuts and bolts are nuts and bolts but I can report that the self-adjusting brakes have worked well on our two-thousand mile trip this summer through the mountains of Utah, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. They stop straight and true and don't seem to fade on those long down grades like the infamous "Cabbage Hill" near Pendelton Or.

Replacing the brakes on a 50 year old FAN camper. After being assured that it had 10 inch brakes by another company"s "expert" because it has a 3500# axle, I finally received the correct 12 inch brakes from eTrailer. They arrived very quickly, and packaged well. The installation went almost as easy as the very helpful online video showed. Only difference was I had to slightly tighten the brakes to slide the hub over them, even though they are self-adjusting once in service. I have never owned or worked on a trailer before, and the installation was relatively easy. Thank you to George J for the followup email within 24 hours of delivery.

The whole order was perfect. I'm rebuilding the running gear on a1976 3 horse slant then remodeling the whole trailer by converting the trailer into a communications trailer for HF radio for disaster response. Front area will be living quarters. I am in our State Guard as a radio operator and also in county emergency management. This trailer will be my shelter and operating station when deployed to hurricanes and such. Since I'm spending my own funds on this, the good prices on etrailer are greatly appreciated.

US made product, great service from Erika who sorted out my information as to what type of brakes I needed, and fair price. I was very pleased with the follow up emails and the pro service that was provided. Never used Etrailer before, but will be a return customer. Thanks

bought a brake assembly that needed fastening to the axle; these nuts, bolts and washers were just what I needed. Thanks George J.

very good pricing, shipped fast . all items received in good shape 4-nev-r-adjust brake assembles with other needed hardware thanks etrailer.
by: gHarr06/17/2015
My package arrived on time just as I expected. I was a bit disappointed with the packing. Everything came in one box. The nuts were not in any bag they were just loose in the box. I ordered 10 but I only received 7. I think the other 3 fell out the bottom of the box that was not completely sealed with tape. You might want to put small parts in a zip lock bag. I ended up replacing new bolts one one side instead of both.

Ordered lots of parts on Monday, received most of them by Thursday. The received parts were well packaged and undamaged. A few of the parts they didn't have in stock so they had those drop-shipped to me which should be delivered in the next couple of days.
No supplier I have ordered any parts from has such a great technical reference web site or personal customer support. Yea, Rebecca - Well Done! Yes, I'm very happy with the pricing.
Thanks for your great support and I look forward to doing business with them again. More info to follow as soon as I can get the parts installed on my trailer.

- How to Select 8-on-6-1/2 Hub Drums for Triple Axle TrailerTo figure out the parts needed to convert a triple axle trailer to new 8-on-6-1/2 hub/drums you'll start by identifying the bearings and seals used in the current setup. A new hub/drum has to use the same bearings and seals in order to fit on the current spindles. Please refer to the linked photo diagram that shows how bearing and seal numbers usually appear on these parts. Pull one hub so you can remove the bearings and seal and try to find the part numbers. Most of our 8-on-6-1/2 hub/drums...

- Replacement Hydraulic Brake Assemblies and Drums with 008-201-09 Casting Number for Boat Trailer The 008-201-09 number you provided comes back on a Dexter Axle hub that we offer as part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ, a 12 x 2 inch brake drum. This hub uses a 25580 inner and 15123 outer bearing, so please check the reference numbers on your existing bearings to confirm that this hub is compatible. These hubs use a grease seal with a 2-1/8 inch inner diameter. Since it's kind of difficult to measure the inner diameter of a used grease seal, measure the OD of the spindle where the grease seal rides....
view full answer... - Selecting Correct Replacement 12 x 2 Electric Brake and Drum Assembly for 6000-lb AxleThe best way to identify the correct replacement components for your trailer is by using the part numbers from your current inner and outer bearings and grease seals (or a spindle measurement where the seal and bearings ride). It is possible to measure the spindles to obtain grease seal dimensions (location B on the photo) but this process requires care and a precision digital caliper like # PTW80157. You will also need to confirm the diameter of your wheel studs. We already know your brakes...

- Width of Brake Pads on 28 Foot Gooseneck Trailer With Dexter 10K AxlesTo determine which brake assembly you need, measure the width of your brake linings, as shown in the photo I edited for you. If your existing brake shoes measure 4 inches wide, the # 23-438 you mentioned would be an example of a good replacement for you if your existing brake assemblies use 7 mounting bolts (some use 4) and the diameter of the assembly is 12-1/4 inches in diameter when measured from the outside of one brake shoe directly across to the outside of the other shoe as shown...

- Brake Assembly Dust Caps and Nut Recommendation for Brake Assemblies 23-105-106Sounds like you are looking for the dust cover plugs part # BP10-220 for the brake assemblies # 23-105-106. The bolts these are designed to fit to are actually studs that are attached to the mounting flange of your current spindle like the part # 4-44-1. For nuts and washers that fit that you'd want the part # 38LW and # 38N.
view full answer... - Is the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # 23-451 Made in the USA.Yes, the Dexter Electric, Right Hand Side, Trailer Brake Assembly, # 23-451, is manufactured by Dexter in the USA. For the left hand side trailer brake assembly and hardware, you will need part numbers # 23-450, # 7-5, # 38N, and # 38LW.
view full answer... - Will Dexter Brake Assemblies Fit on a Lippert AxleYou will have no problem using a Dexter brake assembly on a Lippert 7K axle. We have installed several Dexter brake assemblies on Lippert axles at our shop. Lippert and Dexter use the same standard mounting pattern and brake sizes. If you want standard brake assemblies, you could go with the Right Hand brake # 23-181 and the Left Hand brake # 23-180. I recommend stepping up to the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust brakes, # 23-465 and # 23-464. The cost difference is very minimal compared to the standard...
view full answer... - What Kind of Steel is Brake Mounting Bolt 7-5 Made FromThis Brake Mounting Bolt for 12 inch Brakes Assembly, part # 7-5, is not made of stainless steel, it is made of regular steel. You might also be interested in purchasing a Nut for Brake Mounting Bolt for 12 inch Brake Assembly, part # 38N, and a Lockwasher for Brake Mounting Bolt for 12 inch Brake Assembly, part # 38LW.
view full answer... - Drum Brakes with Parking Brake for Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension ASR35HDS02With the Timbren axle-less suspension system # ASR35HDS02 you can install 5-bolt electric drum brake assemblies like # 23-112 and # 23-113. These are left- and right-hand brakes with parking brake mechanisms that are rated for a 6K axle system. You can use lock washer # 38LW and nut # 38N to install the brakes. If you need a brake adjustment tool we offer part # W80630.
view full answer... - Replacement Electric Brake Assemblies for Denali Trailer with Tandem 5.2K Lippert AxlesI'm assuming that you're simply replacing the existing brake assemblies and that your trailer has hub/drums that have an inside diameter of 12 inches and a depth of 2 inches. I'm also assuming that your existing brake drums are in good shape, and you're planning on reusing them. If that's the case, I'd recommend the self adjusting electric brake assembly, part # AKEBRK-7R-SA for the right hand side, part # AKEBRK-7L-SA for the left. You'll need two of each. The brake assemblies don't include...
view full answer... - Does Dexter 12 Inch Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # 23-181 Include the Mounting HardwareThe replacement right-hand brake assembly you referenced, part # 23-181 does not include the mounting hardware. You'll need 5 of the # 38N nuts and 5 of the # 7-5 bolts. Something else to be aware of, some time ago Dexter stopped including the mud and crud plugs that cover the brake adjuster holes. We offer them as part # BP10-220 for 4 plugs.
view full answer... - Brakes for 12" x 2" Drums and 4-bolt Mounting PatternWe only have one electric brake assembly that may work for you, the Dexter Electric Brake Kit # 23-105-106-09. This kit fits standard 5-bolt mounting flanges or AL-KO/Hayes 4-bolt flanges. If you have that type of 4-bolt flange you would likely know it because the pattern is offset, with the upper mounting bolt holes spaced further apart than the lower holes. These brakes are rated for 6,000 lbs and would require Brake Mounting Bolts # 7-5, Nut # 38N and Lock Washer for Brake Mounting...

- Recommended Nut and Washer for Use with the Brake Mounting Flange part # 4-44-1The recommended nut to use with the Brake Mounting Flange part # 4-44-1 that you referenced is the part # 38N and then for lock washers you would want the part # 38LW.

view full answer... - Do Dexter Brake Assemblies Like # 23-459 Include Adjuster Hole PlugsThe Dexter Axle # 23-459 12 inch Nev-R-Adjust brake assembly does not include the adjuster hole plugs which are sold in a quantity of 4 as part # BP10-220. The mounting hardware, # 38LW, # 38N nut and # 7-5 bolt are also sold separately. You'll need five bolts, nuts and washers per brake assembly.

If you prefer standard manual-adjust brakes instead then use two of kit # 23-180-181. Either way you will want to order two kits to be able to fit new brakes on both axles. For mounting hardware you can use parts # 38LW, # 7-5 and # 38N (five of each per brake) and for a brake adjustment tool...
view full answer... - Recommended Hubs Drums And Electric Brakes For 2000 Trails West 4 Horse TrailerFrom my research it looks like you have 6,000 lb axles on your trailer. You may want to check to see if there is a plate or sticker that shows the axle weight capacity. If you have a 5-bolt brake mounting flange I recommend the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Assembly, part # 23-459 for the right hand and part # 23-458 for the left hand. These are designed to use with 12 inch hubs and drums. I have attached links to a product review video and an initial setup video for these brakes....
view full answer... - Recommended Brake Assemblies For Dexter Axle 3500 lb And 5200 lbI reached out the the manufacturer and found that they have two possible axles that meet that criteria. One is definitely more likely your application than the other, but I will give you both brake assembly options. For a 3500 lb axle, you will want the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # AKEBRK-35-SA. This will give you both the left and right assemblies. There is a sticker to help you with which assembly fits which side....
view full answer... - Will Electric Brakes Bolt On 7,000 Pound Torflex Trailer AxlesThe Electric Trailer Brake Assembly, Self-Adjusting # AKEBRK-7L-SA that you referenced will bolt directly to the 5-bolt brake mounting flange on your 7,000 pound trailer axle. The # AKEBRK-7L-SA is the brake assembly for the left hand side of the trailer. The brake assembly for the right hand side is # AKEBRK-7R-SA. These brake assemblies fit hubs that measure 12 inches diameter x 2 inches thick and will work well on your 7K torflex axle. I've attached a review video of this brake assembly...
view full answer... - Recommended Brake Assemblies and Hubs with Oil Bath For Dexter 8,000 lb AxlesFor your 8,000 lb axle hubs with oil bath, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 8,000-lb Axles - 8 on 6-1/2 - Oil Bath, # 8-285-10UC3-A. The brake assemblies I recommend to match the hubs are the Electric Trailer Brake with Dust Shield - Self-Adjusting - 12-1/4" - Left Hand - 8,000 lbs # AKEBRK-8L and # AKEBRK-8R for the right hand side. You may want the Brake Adjustment Spoon for Drum Brakes # W80630 for the initial adjustment, but these brakes with self-adjust after that. If...

For your Hayes axle, you will want to use the 12 Inch Electric Brake Assembly, Left Hand # 23-105-09 and Right Hand # 23-106-09. These brake assemblies are designed to work as replacement assemblies for Hayes/AL-KO axles so they will work well on your trailer. The reason other assemblies will not work for your...
view full answer... - Recommended Electric Brake Assemblies and Hub Drums for a 26ft Gooseneck TrailerIf your brake assemblies mount on a plate using 5 bolts, you most likely would be looking for a 12 inch diameter brake assembly like part # AKEBRK-6R and # AKEBRK-6L, but you could verify this by measuring directly across the center of your drum or the brake assembly. To recommend the correct hub drum for your application, I would need to know your current hub bolt pattern, as well as the bearings it uses. In order to determine your hub drum bolt pattern, you would need to measure center...

Grease would be better for marine applications since a hub full of grease repels water and an oil bath hub could just let the water set on top. The correct grease seal for disc brake kit # K2HR712D is # RG06-070. It does have an inner diameter of 2.25 inches and the outer diameter at 3.376 inches will fit the hub in the disc brake kit.
