The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-468-469 for 3,500 lb axles has 10" diameter x 2-1/4" wide dimensions while the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # K23-472-473-00 for 3,000 lb axles has 10" diameter x 1-1/2" wide dimensions.

Since the dimensions are different you will need to stick with the ones rated for a 3,000 lb axle # K23-472-473-00.

While it may be possible that a 3,500 lb. brake assembly will fit your 3,000 lb. axle, it is recommended that you stay with the 3,000 lb. size intended for your axle and use the part number #K23-472-473-00 for a replacement. If you are dead set on…

A Dexter 3K axle would use 10 x 1-1/2 inch brake assemblies versus the 10 x 2-1/4 inch assemblies typically found on a 3.5K axle, so you'll want to use the #K23-472-473-00 brake assemblies you'd looked at. The #23-468-469 brake shoes are too…

Answer 8

According to Dexter, your axle uses a #L44649 outer and #L68149 inner bearing with a #58846 grease seal. This means you can use the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly #AKHD-545-35-EZ-K you were looking at. This also has the same 5 on 4-1/2…

You cannot really go by miles when determining when brakes should be replaced. You would know to replace them the same way you would know with a vehicle. If performance is suffering and adjusting the brakes does not help and there are no other issues…
