Review of Dexter Axle Trailer Brakes - Replacement Brake Shoe - K71-675 Video

We recommended to repack the wheel bearings on your trailer every 12 months or 12,000 miles. There is not a specific guideline as far as actually replacing the bearings. When repacking them with grease, you will also just want to check for any…

The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Trailer Brakes #23-464-465 for 7,000 lb axles are very high quality and other brake shoes wouldn't be an upgrade. What will affect the life of the pad is how often the brakes are used, if they are frequently halting heavy…

It appears that the HydraStar Disc Brake Kit #HSE7K-T1 is the correct kit for your 2021 Vanleigh Vilano 320GK. To verify this you can find the axle serial numbers and send that information to me so I can verify all the components are correct.…

I'll need to know the inner and outer wheel bearing reference numbers and wheel bolt pattern. With that information, I can recommend replacement bearings, seals, brake assemblies and hub/drums. You'll also want to carefully examine the…

A 5,200 lb EZ lube hub spindle is going to take the part #GS-2250DL for a grease seal. This seal has an inner diameter of 2.25 inches and an outer diameter of 3.376 inches.

Dexter 10-Inch Nev-R-Adjust electric drum brakes #23-468 and #23-469 have a star wheel for initial adjustment, just like regular brakes do, but with these self-adjusting brakes you'll mount them and install your wheel/tire and then rotate the…
