Dexter Brake Actuator that Can Fit In Place of Titan Aero 7500

Question

Question:

I’m looking for a replacement brake actuator for an Aero 7500 bolt on. This is for a tandem trailer with disc brakes and a 3x5 straight tongue. Will the dexter dx56fr work and are there any pictures or installation instructions for mounting it? Thanks

The Dexter DX7.5L # DX56FR would be a great option to replace the Titan Aero 7500 that you have now. This also was designed to fit a 3 inch by 5 inch tongue and will work great with a tandem disc setup like you have as well.
