Dexter K71-G00-24 Complete Hydraulic Drum Brake Kit, 12 Inch Drum, 8000 Lb Actuator, 6 Lug Trailer Axle

The Dexter K71-G00-24 is a complete hydraulic drum brake kit built for a single-axle, 6-lug trailer wheel end. It is designed to supply everything needed for a full brake and hub assembly in one package, so an installer is not left sourcing separate hubs, drums, or hardware. The kit centers on a 12 inch drum brake assembly paired with an 8,000 lb capacity hydraulic actuator that uses a cast ball clamp and an oversize aluminum master cylinder for reliable trailer braking under heavy tongue loads.

The drum hubs arrive preassembled and pregreased, complete with cups, cones, seals, and dust covers, which cuts down on assembly time at installation. The brake system uses a free-backing drum brake design with an aluminum wheel cylinder and stainless steel springs, and the steel components carry a GalvX coating for corrosion resistance in wet trailering environments. A brake hose kit is included, made up of 240 inch, 76 inch, and 24 inch DOT-rated flexible brake hoses along with brass fittings and the attachment hardware needed to plumb the system. DOT 3 brake fluid is not included and must be supplied separately. This kit fits a single axle, 6-lug wheel trailer application.
