Replacement Brake Assemblies for Dexter 10,000 lb Trailer Axles

Question

Question:

Dexter 10k axles...very minimal brakes if any. Just replaced all 4 magnets and dowsed assemblies with brake cleaner. Getting voltage to magnets. Could be drums or brake assemblies? Any thoughts? Also, to determine brake assembly size, just measure inside drum?

How is the adjustment of the assemblies? Typically the problem you are having is due to the assemblies not being adjusted properly. Ideally they are tight enough that there's a light drag as you turn them by hand.

To see how to manually adjust trailer brake assemblies check out the video I attached, fast-forward to the 4:35 mark of the video.

Since we know you have 10k Dexter axles the correct brake assemblies are the part # 23-450-451 for if you have an electric brake setup or part # 23-410-411 for if they are hydraulic.

I did some digging on your AL KO 7,200 lb axle and it has bearings #28580 and #25580 which means you have a 99 spindle. The only hub we offer that will fit this setup is the part #99865UC3 which is a similar Titan hub but has an 8 on 6-1/2 inch bolt…

I looked up your Big Tex 22N and was able to determine that it has 10k Dexter axles so for brake assemblies you'd wan the part #23-410-411 for if you have hydraulic brakes or #23-450-451 for electric and you'd be set.
