Dexter 12 Inch Electric Trailer Brake Installation Video

According to Dexter, the torque should be between 25-50 ft. lbs. when installing the #23-180-181. If you don't already have mounting hardware you'll need the Mounting Bolts and Hardware for 12" Brake Assemblies #BRKH12.

I attached a picture that shows the bolt pattern of the trailer brake assembly part #23-180-181 that you referenced.

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…

The only difference between the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit part #23-180-181 and Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part #23-464-465 is that the latter is self-adjusting which means the pads will automatically adjust for the best…

I would be happy to recommend the correct replacement electric trailer brakes for you, but the 3175030707 did not cross reference to any brake assemblies. To determine the correct brake assemblies I would need to know the weight rating of your axle…

The Dexter Trailer Brake Assemblies 023-466-00 and 023-467-00 will cross-reference to our Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part #23-458-459.

In order to power the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit part #23-180-181 you'll want to run the 10 Gauge Primary Wire part #10-1-1 (Sold by Foot). In order to make the connections I recommend the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors part #DW05745-5.

It sounds like you are looking for 2 sets of left/right side brakes for your 7k trailer. If that is the case, we unfortuantely do not carry the 23-181-00 because these are an older brake model that was discontinued from Dexter. However, the new…
