Dexter K71-G01-07 12 Inch Trailer Drum Brake Backing Plate Assembly Parts Kit

The Dexter K71-G01-07 is a 12 inch drum brake backing plate assembly parts kit built for trailer axle drum brake systems. This kit is designed to restore or rebuild a drum brake backing plate assembly with all the core wear components in one package, saving the time and cost of sourcing individual parts separately.

The kit's backing plate assembly includes a wheel cylinder, springs, brake pads bonded and riveted to the backing plate with rivets, and the backing itself. Rounding out the kit are the smaller parts that typically wear out or go missing during a brake job: adjuster hardware, springs, and the brass and mounting hardware needed to reinstall the backing plate assembly. Having these wear items bundled together in one kit reduces the chance of missing a small but critical part mid-installation.

This backing plate assembly kit is intended for 12 inch trailer drum brake systems and is suited for trailer owners, marine trailer service shops, and DIYers performing a full drum brake rebuild rather than a partial parts swap.
