Dexter Model 60 Disc Brake Master Cylinder Repair Kit 071-B16-00

The Dexter Model 60 Disc Brake Master Cylinder Repair Kit (071-B16-00) restores the hydraulic master cylinder on Dexter Model 60 disc brake actuators used on boat trailers and other braked trailer axles. The master cylinder is the component inside the actuator that converts the mechanical force of the trailer coupler into hydraulic pressure, sending fluid to the disc brake calipers at each wheel. Over time the internal seals wear from repeated actuation and exposure to moisture, leading to a soft brake feel, fluid leaks, or inconsistent braking - this kit lets you rebuild the master cylinder rather than replace the entire actuator assembly. It is designed specifically for the Model 60 disc brake actuator and installs into the original actuator housing. Ordering by the exact part number 071-B16-00 ensures you get the correct kit for a Model 60 disc brake unit rather than a kit sized for a different actuator model.
