Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Assembly Installation Video

Trailer brakes can be either self-adjusting like the Dexter #23-468 or may require periodic manual adjustments like #23-27, depending on the particular model assemblies you have installed on the trailer. An easy way to tell if you have self-adjusting…

On a single axle with all of the parts and tools ready it would take someone with experience maybe about an hour to complete the installation. Out in the driveway where you can take your time maybe about 2 hours. That is provided you do not have to…

If your current brake assemblies are self-adjusting, once the hub/drum is removed you will be able to see the adjuster cable extending across the brake assembly as shown in the photo I have edited for you. If you find you do not have them, you can…

This is a common question we get on lights like the LED Trailer Tail Light with License Bracket part #328-003-81LBM1. The original colors you have are the traditional trailer wiring code so brown=taillights, red=turn/brake and white is ground. On…

EZ Lube spindles are generally preferred over Bearing Buddy setups. The EZ lube allows you to insert grease down the middle of the spindle easily which is basically the best option aside from removing the hub and taking it all apart and cleaning and…

To replace your 12" brakes I recommend checking out the 7K TruRyde Electric Trailer Brake Kit #TRU96FR or the 5.2K - 7K Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit #AKUBRK-7 depending on what kind of braking system you have. You'll also need the Mounting…
