Dexter Nev-R-Adjust 6K and 7K Electric Brake Assembly
Question:
What is the difference between the Dexter 12inch Nev-R-Adjust electric brake assembly for 6k axles and the one for 7K axles? Are they interchangeable? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Assembly for 6K pound axles # 23-459, # 23-458 and the brake assembly for the 7K pound axles # 23-464, # 23-465 are interchangeable in that both are mounted on a 5-bolt pattern and would fit on 12 inch hub/drums.
However, the 7K brake has a stronger magnet and upgraded brake shoes with greater stopping power than the 6K.
Even though they would fit, you would not want to put the 6K Nev-R-Adjust # 23-459, # 23-458 on a trailer with a 7K pound axle. You could put the 7K Nev-R-Adjust # 23-464, # 23-465 on a trailer with an axle capacity of lower than 7K.
