Dexter Axle K23-027-00 10 x 2-1/4 Inch Electric Trailer Brake Assembly, Right Hand, 3500 lb, Fits 13 to 15 Inch Wheels

The Dexter Axle K23-027-00 is a complete 10 inch x 2-1/4 inch electric trailer brake assembly rated for 3,500 lb capacity, built for the right hand side of the trailer. It is designed to fit trailers running 13 inch to 15 inch wheels and is manufactured in the USA for dependable, long-term braking performance on light and medium duty trailers.

This kit ships as a complete brake assembly rather than a collection of loose parts, so installation is straightforward: it drops in for a full brake replacement without needing to source individual components separately. The brakes are self-adjusting, so there is no need for periodic manual adjustment as the linings wear. The electric magnet is non-polarized, which means either wire lead can be used as ground or power, simplifying wiring at installation. Pre-spliced wires are included to further speed up the hookup process.

The kit includes the actuating lever arm, wire clips, retractor springs, shoe and lining kit, magnet kit, adjuster assembly, adjusting screw spring, adjuster slot plugs, wire grommet, anchor post washer, press-in brake mounting bolt, brake mounting nut, and dust cover, along with an instruction sheet. Adjuster slot plugs cover the access holes on the backing plate to help keep dirt, grime, and debris out of the brake shoes and adjuster mechanism, protecting the assembly over time.

Because this is a right hand (RH) specific assembly, it must be installed on the right hand side of the trailer only; it is not interchangeable with a left hand assembly.
