Helpful Expert Reply:

Your surge coupler will have either a sticker or an engraving on it, typically near where the coupler is located. If you can get me that information and what you're needing to replace on it I'd be more than happy to help you find what you're needing!

For an example, the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX56FR has this info engraved on the top of the actuator body (see attached).

I’m going to send you a few pictures of the one I have I can’t read What is on the face of it because it slides into a channel I need to know which one it is also, if you could tell me if you know the safety, cable replacement, and the correct actuator replacement. Thanks, Mike

@MikeK Thanks for the photos! I went ahead and attached them above so others can see as well. For a replacement breakaway cable you need the Kit # DX76XR, and then when it comes to the actuator I wasn't sure if you meant the Master Cylinder # TK71-756-00 or the Shock Absorber # TK71-758-00. If you're talking about a different part please let me know and I'll be happy to help out!

@MikeK Thanks for the clarity! Sorry about the delayed response - we've been having some technical difficulties. With this being the case you'll need either the Replacement Kit # TK71-755-00 or the Valve # T4748800 depending on the type of valve your actuator is equipped with. These have unique designs so you'll just have to make sure they match what your actuator has.
