R&P Service Insight
Trailer brake assemblies should be replaced by confirmed measurements and side orientation, not by axle rating alone. Check the brake size, mounting flange, and left/right configuration before installation.
- Brake Size: Confirm your existing brake assembly is 12" diameter x 2" wide.
- Mounting Pattern: Verify your axle has a compatible 5-bolt brake flange.
- Side Orientation: This listing is for the right-hand / passenger-side brake assembly only.
R&P Knowledge Hub
Compatibility: Designed for compatible 12" x 2" electric trailer brake applications using a 5-bolt brake flange.
Vehicle / System Fit: Commonly used on 6,000 lb trailer axle electric drum brake setups where the brake size, flange pattern, and orientation match.
Installation Notes: Inspect the drum, wiring, magnet contact surface, bearings, seals, and hub condition during brake service.
Performance Insight: Forward Self-Adjusting brake assemblies help reduce manual adjustment needs by maintaining shoe-to-drum clearance as the brake lining wears.
Brand & Fitment Note
Selling Brand: Dexter
Application Reference: Dexter part number 023-459-00 is used here as the product and fitment reference for this brake assembly.
What This Means: This listing is for one Dexter 12" x 2" right-hand electric trailer brake assembly.
Before Ordering: Verify brake size, axle rating, mounting flange pattern, side orientation, and included components before installation.
R&P Repair Insight
If one brake assembly is being replaced due to wear or contamination, inspect the opposite side on the same axle as well. Uneven braking can be caused by mismatched adjustment, worn magnets, damaged wiring, contaminated shoes, or drum wear.
- Check the Drum: Inspect the inside braking surface and magnet contact area before installing the new assembly.
- Check the Wiring: Confirm the electric brake wiring and ground path are in good condition.
- Check the Pair: For balanced braking, many service jobs replace left and right assemblies at the same time when wear is comparable.
