Replacement Trailer Brake Shoes for Electric Drum Brakes on 6,000 Pound Axle

Question

Question:

I am looking for brake shoes for a 12 foot dump trailer 12k w/Dexter axles. I know they are 12 inch drums, electric brakes. The tag in the drum housing shows- 023-105-00, left hand, 8123-031903. I dont need the whole assembly, I just want to replace brake shoes. If you should have these, I am looking at replacing both lefts and rights.

Helpful Expert Reply:

The brake assemblies your trailer has are # 23-105 for the left hand and # 23-106 will be on the right. These are 12 inches by 2 inches brakes for use on 6,000 pound axles.

The replacment brake shoes you need are # AKBRKR-S-12 which are sold individually so you'll need one per wheel.
