This is a Free Backing design with a single servo and single plunger coming from the wheel cylinder, which is the most common style used on Dexter hydraulic drum brake axles. The assembly is engineered for a 7,000 lb capacity per axle pair and mounts using a 5-bolt pattern (mounting bolts not included). It is sized to work with 12 inch hubs and drums, making it a direct fit for trailer owners replacing worn or damaged hydraulic brake components on their Dexter 7K axle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is the right hand (passenger side) unit, it should be paired with the corresponding left hand assembly (a separate part number) for a complete axle brake set. As a complete assembly, the K23-343-00 simplifies replacement by supplying the full hydraulic brake mechanism rather than individual components, reducing the need to source and match separate parts.\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 K23-343-00\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hydraulic Drum Brake Assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrake Position:\u003c\/strong\u003e Right Hand (Passenger Side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrake Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 inches x 2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7,000 pounds per axle pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrake Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Free Backing, single servo, single plunger\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-bolt (mounting bolts not included)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHub\/Drum Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 inch hub\/drum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 x 13 x 3 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 876983002856\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eDexter 7,000 lb hydraulic drum brake axles using 12 inch x 2 inch Free Backing right hand brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReplaces (OEM)\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eNo OEM cross-reference numbers available\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich side does the K23-343-00 fit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The K23-343-00 is the right hand (passenger side) brake assembly.
