Compatibility of Dexter 6K Brake Assemblies with a 5200 lb Axle
Question:
Im looking at self-adjusting brakes for my trailer with AlCo easy lube 5200 lb axles with 16 inch load range E tires. Will Dexter 6000 brakes # 23-458-459 work? Are they the best choice for this? Thanks

Expert Reply:
As long as your 5200 lb axle's brake drums have a 12 inch inside diameter and an inside depth of 2 inches, the Dexter # 23-458-459 self adjusting 12x2 inch brake assemblies would work perfectly for you.
The assemblies include the mud and crud plugs to cover the adjuster holes, but the install hardware kit, part # BRKH12 is sold separately. The kit contains hardware for 2 brake assemblies.
If you click the provided link, you can check out a video showing a typical installation.
