With a Dexter 7,000lb axle and self adjusting electric trailer brakes you will likely have the Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-464-465. There is a small stamped area on the outside of the backing plate which will give you information on the brake assembly or if you have the serial number for your Dexter axle I can use that to verify all the parts installed on your axle from the factory. This will allow me to know exactly what grease seals, bearings and other parts you might need as well without having to disassemble your hubs.
