This is a full brake assembly, not a repair kit, so it is intended for direct installation as a complete unit rather than a rebuild of an existing worn brake. Electric drum brakes of this type use a magnet-actuated shoe system that engages when the trailer's electric brake controller sends current to the magnet, drawing the shoes into contact with the drum for stopping power that is proportional to the controller's output. The 12 inch x 2 inch designation refers to the drum diameter and shoe width, which must match the trailer's hub and drum dimensions for correct fit. Because this is designated a left hand assembly, it is built for one specific side of the trailer axle; a right hand (RH) counterpart is sold as a separate, differently numbered assembly, so confirming the LH designation before ordering ensures the correct part arrives for the intended wheel position. The assembly weighs 14 pounds. Trailer owners and fleet maintenance operators use assemblies like this to replace a damaged, corroded, or failed brake unit on 6,000 lb rated axles where a full assembly swap is preferred over piecemeal part replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dexter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 023-105-09\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Electric Drum Brake Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDrum Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 inches x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6,000 lbs (6K)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSide:\u003c\/strong\u003e Left Hand (LH)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrake Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Electric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 840327614067\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Dexter 023-105-09 a left or right side brake?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter 023-105-09 is a left hand (LH) electric drum brake assembly, built for the left side of the trailer axle only.
