The kit centers on a zinc-plated hub and rotor combination, paired with an aluminum caliper. Zinc plating on the hub and rotor is applied to help resist corrosion, which matters on trailer running gear that is regularly exposed to road spray, launch ramps, and standing water. The aluminum caliper reduces unsprung weight at the wheel end compared to a cast-iron equivalent, while still housing the components needed to clamp the rotor during braking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is sold as a complete wheel end kit, it is intended to give installers the hub, rotor, and caliper together as one part number, simplifying ordering and reducing the risk of mismatched components. This kit falls within Dexter's Trailer Disc Brakes lineup and is suited to trailer axle applications rated at or compatible with a 3,750 lb capacity per wheel end.\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 K71-078-05\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCategory:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailer Disc Brakes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3,750 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHub\/Rotor Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zinc-plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCaliper Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit Contents:\u003c\/strong\u003e Complete wheel end kit (hub, rotor, and caliper)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22.29 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 876983006694\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is included in the Dexter K71-078-05 kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The K71-078-05 is a complete trailer wheel end kit that includes the zinc-plated hub, zinc-plated rotor, and aluminum caliper as a single assembly, rather than requiring these parts to be purchased separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat load capacity is this disc brake kit rated for?\u003c\/strong\u003e This kit is rated for 3,750 lb capacity, making it suited to trailer axles built around that weight rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the caliper on this kit made of aluminum or cast iron?\u003c\/strong\u003e The caliper included in the Dexter K71-078-05 kit is aluminum, which reduces weight at the wheel end compared to a cast-iron caliper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat finish is used on the hub and rotor?\u003c\/strong\u003e The hub and rotor in this Dexter kit are zinc-plated, a finish intended to help resist corrosion in wet trailering environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much does the K71-078-05 kit weigh?\u003c\/strong\u003e The complete kit weighs 22.29 pounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this kit come pre-assembled or do I need to combine separate parts?\u003c\/strong\u003e The K71-078-05 is sold as a complete wheel end kit, meaning the hub, rotor, and caliper are provided together as one part number for that wheel position.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat brand manufactures this disc brake kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e This disc brake kit is manufactured by Dexter, part number K71-078-05.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the UPC for this Dexter brake kit?\u003c\/strong\u003e The UPC for the Dexter K71-078-05 Disc Brake Kit is 876983006694.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat category of trailer part is the K71-078-05?\u003c\/strong\u003e The K71-078-05 falls under Dexter's Trailer Disc Brakes category, covering the hub, rotor, and caliper assembly for a trailer wheel end.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy choose an aluminum caliper over a standard cast caliper?\u003c\/strong\u003e The aluminum caliper used in the K71-078-05 kit lowers the weight of the wheel end assembly, an advantage in unsprung weight compared to a heavier cast caliper.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dexter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48991262965979,"sku":"DEX-K71-078-05","price":330.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0839\/7586\/4539\/files\/dexter-3750lb-single-wheel-zinc-disc-brake-kit-with-caliper-and-trailer-buddy-with-bra-k71-078-05__83711.1747363800.500.750.jpg?v=1785329083","url":"https:\/\/www.goodvibesmarina.com\/products\/dexter-k71-078-05-complete-disc-brake-kit-3-750-lb-zinc-hub-rotor-with-aluminum-caliper","provider":"Good Vibes Marina","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
