Dexter 12 x 2 Inch 6K Hydraulic Right Hand Trailer Drum Brake Assembly with Manual Adjuster, 023-567-00

The Dexter 023-567-00 is a complete 12 inch x 2 inch hydraulic drum brake assembly built for 6,000 pound capacity trailer axles. This is the right hand unit, engineered with a manual adjuster rather than a self-adjusting mechanism, so brake shoe clearance is set by hand as the linings wear. As a complete assembly, it is supplied ready to mount to the axle backing plate, eliminating the need to source individual internal components separately.

Hydraulic drum brakes of this type are the primary service brake on many single and tandem axle trailers rated at or near 6,000 pounds, converting hydraulic line pressure from the trailer's master cylinder or actuator into mechanical clamping force against the brake drum. The 12 x 2 inch shoe sizing refers to the drum diameter and shoe width this assembly is designed to work within. Because this is a side-specific part, it is not interchangeable with the left hand version of the same assembly, which carries a different Dexter part number.
