Dexter 10 x 2 1/4 Inch Hydraulic Rear Brake Shoe, Part 040-421-00

This is the Dexter 10 x 2 1/4 inch hydraulic rear brake shoe, part number 040-421-00, sized for trailer brake assemblies that use a 10 inch by 2 1/4 inch hydraulic drum brake. 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.
