Care information
Care information
To ensure optimal performance and extend the service life of your new trailer components, please follow these care guidelines after purchase:
- Before installation, check all parts for shipping damage or missing components. Do not install damaged parts.
- Always use correct tools and torque settings. Improper installation can lead to premature wear or failure.
- For bearings, suspensions, and brake components, apply high-quality trailer grease before first use if not pre-greased.
- Some parts (like brake assemblies) require a short break-in period to achieve full performance. Follow manufacturer instructions for best results.
- Recheck fasteners, grease levels, and moving components after 100 miles of towing, then at regular intervals.
- After exposure to water, road salt, or mud, clean and dry parts thoroughly. Apply anti-rust treatment if needed.
- If storing unused parts, keep them in a dry, sealed container away from moisture and direct sunlight.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Bring heavy-duty towing stability and premium stopping power to your trailer with this commercial-grade Dexter 6,000 lb self-adjusting electric brake assembly (Dexter K23-458-00 / K23-459-00). Meticulously engineered for heavy utility, equipment, and cargo trailers utilizing a standard 5-hole brake flange configuration, this assembly features a 12" x 2" brake shoe size to deliver consistent, uncompromising braking performance under substantial towing loads.
This electric brake system incorporates an advanced self-adjusting mechanism, allowing the brake shoes to automatically adjust to the perfect clearance as the friction material wears down over time. This high-end feature ensures peak braking responsiveness and balanced side-to-side stopping power, entirely eliminating the tedious and messy manual under-trailer adjustment required by traditional designs. Each unit is shipped fully assembled and ready to bolt onto your axle, complete with premium 2" tall brake shoes, heavy-duty return springs, and durable electromagnets securely factory-mounted onto a rigid, high-strength backing plate.
Available as a Left-Hand unit, Right-Hand unit, 1 Pair, or 2 Pairs, this complete brake kit serves as a seamless, direct replacement solution to upgrade your 6,000 lbs trailer fleet. Drive with maximum safety, increased structural reliability, and absolute peace of mind across long-haul journeys.
