As a rear-position shoe, it is designed to work as part of a hydraulic drum brake assembly on axles built to this size, providing the friction surface that presses against the drum to slow and stop the trailer. Trailer brake shoes are wear items that require periodic replacement as the friction material thins with use, and matching the correct size and hydraulic actuation type is essential for the brake assembly to function correctly and safely.\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 040-421-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 inches x 2 1\/4 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eActuation Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydraulic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.66 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size is the Dexter 040-421-00 brake shoe?\u003c\/strong\u003e The Dexter 040-421-00 is a 10 inch by 2 1\/4 inch brake shoe, sized for hydraulic drum brake assemblies built to that dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a front or rear brake shoe?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 040-421-00 is a rear brake shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 040-421-00 shoe work with hydraulic or electric brakes?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is a hydraulic brake shoe, designed for hydraulically actuated drum brake assemblies rather than electric brakes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the Dexter 040-421-00 brake shoe weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e This brake shoe weighs 1.66 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat brand makes part number 040-421-00?\u003c\/strong\u003e Part number 040-421-00 is manufactured by Dexter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill this shoe fit a 10 x 2 1\/4 inch front hydraulic brake assembly?\u003c\/strong\u003e No, the 040-421-00 is designated as a rear shoe; a front-position shoe would be a separate part number.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know if my trailer brake shoes need replacing?\u003c\/strong\u003e Brake shoes like the Dexter 040-421-00 are wear items, and thinning friction material, reduced stopping power, or visible wear on the shoe surface are signs it is time to replace them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included with the Dexter 040-421-00?\u003c\/strong\u003e This listing is for the 10 x 2 1\/4 inch hydraulic rear brake shoe itself, part number 040-421-00.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install the 040-421-00 brake shoe myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e Replacing a trailer brake shoe such as the Dexter 040-421-00 involves disassembling the hydraulic drum brake assembly, and installers should follow the brake manufacturer's service procedure to ensure correct fit and safe operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the Dexter 040-421-00 shoe genuine Dexter or aftermarket?\u003c\/strong\u003e The 040-421-00 is a genuine Dexter part, identified by its Dexter manufacturer part number.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dexter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991257788635,"sku":"DEX-040-421-00","price":46.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/i_363bf5f5-1e4a-41d4-96dd-e44792fdbf86.jpg?v=1785349559","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/dexter-040-421-00-hydraulic-rear-trailer-brake-shoe-10-in-x-2-1-4-in","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
