Dexter 10K HD Left-Hand Electric Brake Shoe & Lining Kit – 12-1/4" x 4" – Stamped Backing Plate

DEXTER PART # K71-051-00
IMPORTANT: STAMPED BACKING PLATE APPLICATION

K71-051-00 is designed for Dexter 12-1/4" x 4" left-hand electric brakes with stamped steel backing plates, generally manufactured before April 2000. It is not the same kit as K71-501-00, which services cast backing plates.

Restore braking performance on a compatible Dexter 10,000 lb heavy-duty electric brake assembly with this genuine Dexter left-hand shoe and lining replacement kit.

Built for 12-1/4" diameter x 4" wide electric drum brakes using the earlier stamped backing plate configuration. This kit services one left-hand (driver-side) brake assembly.

Installation & Service Notes

  • Inspect the brake drum for excessive wear, scoring, cracks, and heat damage.
  • Confirm brake assembly orientation, backing plate design, and compatibility before installation.
  • Inspect associated springs, adjusters, magnets, and retention hardware.
  • Follow Dexter's brake shoe replacement instructions and adjustment procedures.
  • For balanced braking, follow Dexter's recommendation regarding replacement of shoe and lining components on both sides.
Ordering Note: This listing is for a shoe and lining replacement kit, not a complete electric brake backing plate assembly or brake drum. Confirm the physical kit contents and exact application before purchase.
