Dexter K71-G00-45 10 Inch Hydraulic Drum Brake Kit, 6,600 Lb Actuator, 5-Lug Single Axle Trailer

The Dexter K71-G00-45 is a complete hydraulic drum brake kit built for a single axle, 5-lug wheel trailer. The kit is centered on 10 inch brake drums and a hydraulic actuator rated for 6,600 lbs, giving the trailer a matched, ready-to-install braking system rather than a collection of separate parts. Drum hubs arrive preassembled and pregreased, complete with cups, cones, seals, and dust covers, so the hub bearings are ready to go straight onto the axle.

Braking is handled by freebacking drum brakes that use an aluminum wheel cylinder and stainless steel springs, paired with a GalvX coating on the steel components for added corrosion resistance in wet trailering environments. The actuator itself uses a cast ball clamp and an oversized aluminum master cylinder to drive hydraulic pressure through the system. A full brake hose kit is included, with 240 inch, 76 inch, and 24 inch DOT flexible brake hoses fitted with brass fittings and attachment hardware, covering the connections from actuator to each wheel. DOT 3 brake fluid is not included and must be supplied separately.

This kit suits trailer owners replacing a worn-out or corroded hydraulic drum brake system on a single axle, 5-lug trailer where a 10 inch drum and 6,600 lb actuator capacity are the correct match.
