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…

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…

Not all vehicles can handle the additional amperage draw of the trailer taillights on the vehicle taillight circuits. Those vehicles need setup that draws power from the battery. Some vehicles have higher rated circuits that can handle this, and…

You don't have to do an initial adjustment with self-adjusting trailer brake assemblies, and since it's challenging for the reasons you mentioned I don't recommend doing it and personally wouldn't if it was my trailer. Easiest…

If you are needing to completely remove the spindles on your trailer and replace them with new ones the old ones just need to be cut off. These are welded directly to the axle so you will need to use a torch or saw for this process. When installing…

Sounds like you have a 4-way connector at the rear of your 1999 Ford F-150 and are looking for a way to install a 6-way so that you can power the camper you have that has a Pollak 6-way like the part #PK11604. For an adapter you would want the part…

The brake magnet is held onto an electric braking assembly with a clip. It is not impossible for these to work themselves out over time so I would make sure that you still have the clip in place. The clip is located inside the center of the magnet…

The #BP19-001 retaining clips are designed to fit the Dexter 7-inch brake magnets. Our contact at Dexter said the BP19-001 will work on both the 7-inch round and the 10-inch oval magnets. The replacement magnet clip, part #BP19005 will fit 10, 12,…

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

The big difference between 3,000 lb axle trailer brake assemblies and 3,500 lb trailer axle brake assemblies is the width of the brake pad. The 3,500 lb kits like the #23-468-469 are 2-1/4 inches wide and the #K23-472-473-00 which fits the 3,000 lb…

I would check the magnets for wear before going on to test them with a meter. If the magnets show abnormal wear or if you can see the windings beginning to show through the friction surface of the magnet then they will need to be replaced. To further…
