Dexter Axle Trailer Brakes BP04-065 Review Video

Good news, we do have availability on those brake shoes. The part mumber for the 10" x 1-1/2" Electric Brake Shoe/Lining is BP04-65. The shoes are sold individually.

The difference is found in the application. The Slipper Spring styles, like part #SP-179275, are intended for use with more heavy duty applications, while the Double Eye styles, like part #e77SR are used to provide a more comfortable ride. The part…

On a trailer electric brake assembly like the Dexter 6,000 Pound #23-105 you were looking at the magnet itself should be at the bottom. The arm that is attached to the magnet should then be located on the front side of the trailer (towards the…

The Dexter 10" x 1-1/2" Electric Brake Shoe/Lining #BP04-065 will work on either the left hand or right hand side brake assembly. When installing these it is important to orient them correctly. The rear brake shoe has more friction material…

The Dexter 8-283 is an obsolete 2800lb 10 x 1-1/2 inch hub that used a LM67048 inner and a L44649 outer bearing. Unfortunately, we don't have any hubs that would be compatible with the spindles on your axle. Your best bet at this point would be…

Looks like you have a welded on brake assembly that possibly could have the brake shoes replaced with the part #BP04-065 which is for an older Dexter 10" by 1-1/2" setup that was made before 1999. See if you can find "Dexter"…

I have confirmed with my contacts at Dexter, and the Electric Brake Shoe part #bp04-065 that you referenced was used on a very specific Dexter 2,800 pound axle. The correct seal for this axle is the #10-42. This seal has an inner diameter of 1.75 and…

The 10" x 1-1/2" braking assemblies part #K23-472-473-00 will use the same four bolt brake mounting flange as the 10" x 1-3/4" braking assemblies you have but the hub/drum that goes with these uses a LM67048 inner bearing and…

Since old springs tend to stretch and flatten as they wear out and yours measures 23-1/2 inches the 23-1/8 inch part #e59SR would actually work.

To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…
