Review of Dexter Axle Trailer Brakes - Electric Drum Brakes - DX52QR Video

If you just want the magnet clips, you will use the Replacement Magnet Clips for Electric Brake Assemblies (Qty 4) #BP19005. If you need a replacement magnet, spring, and clip then I recommend the Replacement Magnet Kit for Dexter 12-1/4"…

Brake magnet clips attach the brake magnet to the brake assembly so they should still be on there when you take the drum off. I looked up the 10,000lbs Dexter axle and the #BP19005 is the correct part for the 12 inch electric brake assembles oval…

You may be right. I would remove the assembly and check that all the components are in working order. See if you can get it to do the same thing while off the trailer by manipulating the various moving parts. Some of the parts may need to be…

The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust electric trailer brakes can be manually adjusted. There are a couple teeth of the adjustment wheel that are exposed just under the lever that you referenced. I have attached a photo showing the teeth. You will likely need a…

The difference between the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 7,000 lbs #23-180-181 and the #23-105-106 you mentioned are the strength of the brake magnets. The #23-180-181 was designed for 7000lb axles…

As long as your 7-way trailer connector was wired as shown in the attached diagram, the auxiliary power wire should not have any affect on the electric brake output wire. The first step I would take is to test the vehicle side 7-way socket to make…

On Dexter 12" Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Assembly #23-458 the shoe pad thickness is 3/16 of an inch. Dexter says that you should replace the shoes if the material gets down to 1/16 of an inch thick or less.

I saw the Q&A you were referring to, which is about a decade old as of this writing and there are no 12" diameter x 3-3/8" wide brake assemblies we offer, just the 12-1/4" diameter x 3-3/8" wide #AKEBRK-8 that are rated for…

There are a number of reasons why the brakes on your trailer may not be working. Lets start with the easiest things to check. First, check the vehicle and trailer connectors for corrosion. This can cause a short inside the connector and the brake…

The three sizes of electric trailer drum brakes you referenced, 7-, 10- and 12-inch diameters, are intended for different axle weight capacities. Since each size will presumably have a proportionate weight load it has to stop, their wear rates will…

In almost all cases 3,500 lb axles will all use the same bearings. If your trailer has a Lippert or Dexter 3,500 lb axle then yeah they would be the same. But to be safe it won't hurt to pull them off and get the numbers. If you are sure you need…

It's up to you if you prefer having brakes on both axles or just one. Both setups are pretty common but obviously having brakes on both would give you the best stopping ability. For your tandem axle utility trailer, the 3,500 lb axles make it…
