How to match a Dexter part to your trailer
Start with the axle capacity on the axle tag or the trailer's VIN label (3.5K, 5.2K, 6K, 7K and so on). For brakes, measure the drum diameter and shoe width, and note that brake assemblies are left and right specific. For hubs, confirm the bolt pattern and bearing numbers before ordering.

How do I know which Dexter brake fits my axle?
Match the axle capacity and the drum size, then choose electric or hydraulic to suit how the trailer is braked now. If the axle tag is unreadable, send us the drum diameter, shoe width and number of mounting bolts on the brake flange.
Should I replace the whole brake assembly or just the shoes and magnet?
A complete assembly comes with the backing plate, shoes, magnet and springs already together, so it bolts on with a handful of nuts and two wires. Many owners find that quicker than rebuilding the old one piece by piece.
Do I need an electric/hydraulic actuator for disc brakes?
Trailer disc brakes are hydraulic. A trailer with no surge coupler needs an electric-over-hydraulic unit such as the BrakeRite to supply pressure from the tow vehicle's brake controller signal.
Can you look up a Dexter part number?
Yes. Send us the number from the old part or a photo of the axle tag and we will find the match.
