etrailer Trailer Brakes - Electric Drum Brakes - AKEBRK-2 Review Video

You do not grease the magnet or where it touches the hub (armature surface). Grease could end up on the pads or where the pads touch the hub and that will cause all sorts of problems. Components that do need lubrication are already lubricated from…

A BT8 spindle would have a diameter of .99 of an inch where the bearings would both install and would have a diameter of 1.24 where the great seal would ride. That would require a hub part #AKIHUB-440-2-1K for an idler hub. A BTR spindle would have…

If your customers are blowing out their grease seals most likely that is due to too much grease being pushed into the hub. Using a Bearing Buddy Seal like the part #BB60005 would give you a grease seal that is more reinforced than a standard one, but…

In order to get a ball mount that has effectively 0 inches of rise or drop you would need to get a Trailer Hitch Ball Mount, part #D-4, like the one you referenced that has a 2 inch drop, and then use a 2 Inch High Rise Ball, part #C40034. I attached…

I attached a picture of a 4-bolt mounting flange like what the brake assembly part #AKEBRK-2 you referenced is designed to attach to. This is a standard dimension so I would be shocked if the flange on yours was different.

If one set of brake assemblies is on the wrong side of the axle, it will lead to diminished braking performance and premature brake wear. Is it possible that the axle was removed at one time and reinstalled incorrectly? If you look at the photo I…

The Dexter 69-46 axle has a straight spindle with #L44649 bearings. For a replacement spindle you can use the BTR E-Z Lube Spindle for 2,000-lb Trailer Axles #TRU44FR. Then for an idler hub, the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 2K Axles…

I called Dexter and they told me that your Dexter P-12 SLR SN: D5287869 axle has a 3,000 lb weight capacity. If you need any parts please let me know what they are and I would be happy to offer my recommendation.

It looks like you're likely trying to replace your hubs/drums on your Dexter axle and I do believe that the "0100" you found on the spec plate actually reads "D100" since that was one of the models that Dexter had for this…

There really isn't a particular maximum trailer weight that is used to determine when brakes need to be added to both axles of a tandem axle setup. While I do still recommend checking your local laws, I am also not aware of any general laws that…

Yes, the Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-2 will fit your Dexter 2,200 torsion trailer axle and function just fine. These are made to fit the same axle components as the Dexter models.

There are exceptions to some rules, generally speaking 13 inch trailer wheels will not work with 10 inch hub and drums. Your wheels might be manufactured differently than most and there isn't a clearance issue like on most. I would imagine the…
