At first, I was disappointed because the left and right brake assemblies were not a matched pair, one was for a larger axle. etrailer helped and got the correct brake sent quickly with all shipping info to get the incorrect assembly sent back. I would definitely use etrailer again.

I got these last year and just now installed them. Great price, easy to install and adjust. Tested them out today and work great. Thanks again etrailer.com

first order I placed was for the wrong axle size but once that was rectified, the new break assemblies fit onto my 2014 Jay Flight Swift SLX like a glove. I received them within a few days of my scheduled camping trip and I had both on and existing hubs cleaned up within a day or two. Thanks etrailer.com for getting my parts to me fast and for the refund on the previous wrong order. You guys rock!

All I can say at this time is how impressed I am with how easy it was to get a good product the Dexter Electric trailer brake kit from etrailor.com and how fast they where in getting my purchase to my house. They informed of when they shipped my product, and how to follow my purchase on line. I have yet to have pictures of my all new brake kits installed but I can say I am looking forward to getting my trailer back on the road.

The process for ordering was made very easy with the help of Bryan ( I believe) was his name. I was told the items would arrive today and like clock work they arrived. I was free to start the replacement and with in 2 hours both brake assemblies were on the travel trailer. Because I have endless tools, I had everything including heat shrink to install over sliced wire to break magnets. I only needed to look up the process for re-adjusting the new drakes. The whole process from calling etrailer to receiving and installing the brakes was so great.

I bought these to add brakes to an enclosed trailer that had none.. Everything fit perfectly. Hardest part of the retrofit was finding a decent chassis ground. Magnets are quite noisy as they wear in. Only have about 150 miles on them so far so I anticipate them getting quieter with more miles.
by: Dayne10/01/2019
What great replacement brakes! Super easy to install - even for a NON- mechanic.
Delivery was ahead of the projected time, everything was just perfect.
Thank you Chris for your great help!!

etrailer.com staff were very helpful. My orders were shipped almost immediately and were delivered across country in a week. I am very happy with their customer service.

I couldn't find a local source for this item. Etrailer had it and got it to me as soon as possible via UPS Next Day. I wish they offered FedEx Next Day that delivers earlier in the day in my area.

The product worked as expected. Shipping on the other hand was a night mare but etrailer.com staff worked hard to resolve the problem

Ask the Experts about this Dexter Axle Trailer Brakes
- Replacement Brakes on a 3,000 lb. AxleWhile it may be possible that a 3,500 lb. brake assembly will fit your 3,000 lb. axle, it is recommended that you stay with the 3,000 lb. size intended for your axle and use the part number # K23-472-473-00 for a replacement. If you are dead set on using a 3,500 lb. brake assembly you would need to measure your bearings and brake flange to determine if there is a hub that fits.
view full answer... - Replacements for Hubs 008-418-02 That Use 10 x 1-1/2 Brake AssembliesThe Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # K23-472-473-00 are 10 x 1-1/2 brake assemblies that fit your 008-418-02 hubs, but those particular hubs are not available as replacements. If you sent me both the inner and outer bearing numbers from your current hubs as well as your bolt pattern, I may be able to find you a hub and drum along with a brake assembly that will work. I've added a link to a help article on how to measure the bolt pattern of your wheel as well as a pair of help articles...
view full answer... - Can Trailer Brakes be Used if they are Rated Higher than the AxleAssuming the brakes used will fit the trailer the only issue you might run into when using brakes rated higher than the axle capacity is they may be too aggressive. However this can be overcome by adjusting the brakes themselves and/or turning down the power output on a brake controller (for electric brakes).
view full answer... - What Size Braking Assembly Does a 3,000 Lb Trailer Axle UseThe overall width of the drum would be around a 1/2" wider than the shoes on the backing plate but this will not be relevant when selecting replacements as the parts will be based on the dimensions of the backing plate which in your case is 10" x 1-1/2". Most 3,000 lb trailer axles use a 10" x 1-1/2" braking assembly with a 4 bolt brake mounting flange like part # K23-472-473-00. In order to confirm this for you I would need you to provide me with the part number off of your trailer axle...
view full answer... - Ways to Determine Trailer Axle CapacityIf your trailer is rated at 5,200 lbs most likely you have axles that are rated less than that individually. Typically on the VIN plate of the trailer the axle capacities will be listed. Common axle capacities are 5,200 lb, 3,500 lb, and 2,200 lb so most likely you probably have 3,500. But you can also measure the diameter of them too to determine this. - 1,000-lb - 2,000-lb Axles: 1-1/2 inch - 1-3/4 inch diameter - 3,500-lb Axles: 2-3/8 inch diameter - 5,200-lb - 7,200-lb Axles: 3 inch...
view full answer... - Can Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit for 3,500 lb Axles be Used for a 3,000 lb AxleThe Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-468-469 for 3,500 lb axles has 10" diameter x 2-1/4" wide dimensions while the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # K23-472-473-00 for 3,000 lb axles has 10" diameter x 1-1/2" wide dimensions. Since the dimensions are different you will need to stick with the ones rated for a 3,000 lb axle # K23-472-473-00.
view full answer... - Replacement Left and Right Brake Assemblies for 1998 Fleetwood Mallard 24J 10 inch by 1.5 inchFor a set of brake assemblies that match the dimensions you listed you'd want the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # K23-472-473-00 as this is a 10 inch by 1-1/2 inch wide brake assembly set that fits 3,000 lbs axles like what you have.
view full answer... - Replacement Brakes for Dexter 2,800 Lb AxleThe Dexter 2,800 Lb Axle uses a 10 x 1-1/2" braking assembly so you can replace these with the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # K23-472-473-00.
view full answer... - Can Dexter 3000 lb Axle Use 3500 lb Brake AssembliesA Dexter 3K axle would use 10 x 1-1/2 inch brake assemblies versus the 10 x 2-1/4 inch assemblies typically found on a 3.5K axle, so you'll want to use the # K23-472-473-00 brake assemblies you'd looked at. The # 23-468-469 brake shoes are too wide, and wouldn't allow your existing brake hub/drums to fully seat so they wouldn't work for you.
view full answer... - What is Difference Between 3,000 and 3,500 lb Trailer Brake AssemblyThe 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 axle kits has a width of 1-1/2 inches. This is why they are not interchangeable.
view full answer... - Correct Replacement Electric Trailer Brakes for a 3,000 Lb Trailer AxleThe correct replacement electric trailer brakes for a 3,000 lb trailer axle is the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # K23-472-473-00. The trailer brakes for a 2,000/2,200 lb axle won't work as they are not the same diameter and the trailer brakes for a 3,500 lb axle won't work as they are not the same width.
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Shoe Kit for 10 x 1-1/2 Dexter Electric Drum Brakes K23-472-473-00The Dexter Brake Shoe Kit # BP04-065 you referenced fits their own 10 x 1-1/2 electric brake assemblies that are usually found on 2800-lb-rated axles. None of the electric trailer brakes we offer are the size 9-1/2 x 1-1/2. The nearest size is 10 x 1-1/2 like left/right brake kit # K23-472-473-00. This is the only brake kit we have in this specific size and the shoe kit # BP04-065 is the only replacement in this size. You can confirm your drum and brake size by measuring as shown in the...

- 1982 Fleetwood Prowler Lite RV Trailer Replacement Brake Assembly SolutionThe Dexter 8-286 is an obsolete 2800lb 10 x 1-1/2 inch hub that does not have replacement magnets made for anymore due to how long it's been out of production but you can replace the assemblies with the part # K23-472-473-00 as the only option.
view full answer... - Replacement Brake Assemblies for Trailer with 3,000 lb AxleIf you need new brake assemblies for your 3,000 lb axle your best option is to stick with the size you have and use the part number # K23-472-473-00 for a replacement. The temptation is to use more powerful brake assemblies which would give impression that they'd have more braking power but it does not work like that. Instead when you do this it gets much harder to get proper brake application as basically it'll seem like they want to either lock up or not work at all.
view full answer... - Solution for Needing Replacement Brake Shoes for 10 inch by 1-1/2 inch DiameterInstead of just doing brake shoes I would recommend replacing the entire assemblies. Typically brake shoes cost close enough to new assemblies it's better to replace them as a whole. Often times if the shoes are worn the assemblies are most likely not in the best shape either so it's better to get all new parts, plus it's a much easier install and for picking out the suitable replacement. We have one set of trailer brake assemblies that are for a 10 inch by 1-1/2 inch application like...

- Converting Boat Trailer from Hydraulic Surge Brakes to Electric Drum BrakesBoat trailers more and more are being supplied with electric drum brakes as standard OEM equipment since they cost less and are much easier to install than hydraulics. The electric drum brake conversion is popular enough that we created an article that recaps all the items needed and the things to consider. I linked that article for you. It includes a table that lists the required items. You can either replace your surge coupler with a standard fixed one or simply drill a hole through...
view full answer... - Correct Replacement for 10 Inch x 1-3/4 Inch Braking AssembliesThe 10" x 1-1/2" braking assemblies part # K23-472-473-00 will use the same four bolt brake mounting flange as the 10" x 1-3/4" braking assemblies you have but the hub/drum that goes with these uses a LM67048 inner bearing and L44649 outer bearing which I don't believe is correct for your trailer. The most common replacement for the 10" x 1-3/4" braking assemblies you have are going to be the 10" x 2-1/4" braking assemblies, part # 23-26-27. The correct hub/drum for this is part # AKHD-545-35-K...
view full answer... - Replacement 10 x 1-1/2 Electric Brake AssembliesI have a solution for you, but we do not have a self adjusting brake assembly like the # K23-478-479 available in a 10" x 1-1/2" brake. Instead, you can use the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,000 lbs # K23-472-473-00, which is 1-1/2" wide and mounts to a 4 bolt flange. These assemblies don't come with mounting hardware included, but you can use the # BRKH10B to replace your old mounting hardware.
view full answer... - Replacement Trailer Brakes Compatible with 10" x 1-1/2" DrumsWe do have one option available for you, but the # AKUBRK-35 are not the correct solution for this. You're looking for the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,000 lbs # K23-472-473-00, which are an electric brake assembly designed for 10-1/2" brake drums. These are sold in pairs of a left and right assembly, so you would need two of these for a tandem axle trailer. Since these brakes do not come with mounting hardware, so you'll want to use the...
view full answer... - Replacing AL-KO 10 x 1-3/4 Electric Trailer Brakes 2018 Airliner Classic CamperI must recommend that you replace the hub/drum as well when changing the size of your braking assemblies because the surface area on the old drums may not line up with the new braking assemblies which is why I recommend replacing both at the same time. The 10" x 1-1/2" braking assemblies part # K23-472-473-00 will use the same four bolt brake mounting flange as the 10" x 1-3/4" braking assemblies you but we no longer have a correct hub for these.

We do offer the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # K23-472-473-00 if you decide that you want to replace the entire assembly due to the age of the pads.
