R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Intended for compatible 4,400 lb trailer axle applications using 10 inch x 2-1/4 inch electric brake assemblies, a newer special 4 bolt flange, and Dexter drum casting numbers 8-407 or 8-498 where all mounting details match.
Vehicle / System Fit: Trailer electric brake system for one axle position requiring a left and right brake assembly pair.
Installation Notes: Verify flange dimensions, drum reference, mounting stud spacing, and brake size before ordering. This kit includes pressed-in bolts, mounting nuts, adjuster plugs, and an instruction sheet.
