RV MURTS 10" x 2-1/4" electric brake shoes kit restores trailer braking by replacing worn shoes with two pairs plus springs and pins for 2300–3500 lb axles.

If your trailer's braking feels weak, squeaky, or uneven, replacing the brake shoes is the most direct fix. This kit from RV MURTS includes two pairs of 10" x 2-1/4" shoes designed to fit common 2300–3500 lb trailer axles and Dexter-style assemblies. It ships with the retaining springs and pins required for a straightforward swap, helping you get the trailer back on the road quickly without searching for additional parts.

Will these brake shoes fit my trailer's 10" x 2.25" brake assembly?

Yes — the RV MURTS shoes are built to industry-standard dimensions for 10" x 2.25" electric drum brakes and match Dexter-type part references. They suit trailer axles rated between 2,300 and 3,500 pounds when the brake backing plate and hardware use the common 4-hole configuration.

• Fits 10" diameter by 2.25" width electric brake systems.
• Intended for 2,300–3,500 lb trailer axle ratings.
• Compatible with Dexter part numbers K71-047-00 (040-017/040-021).
• Includes four springs and four hold-down pins for direct replacement.

How durable and reliable are RV MURTS brake shoes?

These brake shoes are manufactured in ISO/TS 16949 certified facilities and tested to OE-style standards for consistent quality. Steel construction and robust friction material are chosen to resist wear, delivering predictable braking performance under normal towing conditions.

• Made in certified factory to maintain consistent tolerances.
• Steel backing plate for toughness and heat resistance.
• Friction material formulated for long service life in trailer use.
• Passed CSA, AMECA, and E4 R9 assessments for assembly reliability.

What comes inside the kit and what tools do I need?

The package contains two pairs of brake shoes (four shoes total), four retaining springs and four hold-down pins so you have all core hardware for both wheels on a single axle. Basic hand tools and a jack are usually sufficient for replacement, though a spring tool makes removal and installation faster and safer.

• Package contents: 2 pairs of brake shoes, 4 springs, 4 hold-down pins.
• Recommended tools: jack, jack stands, basic sockets/wrenches, spring removal tool.
• Approximate time: 1–2 hours per axle depending on experience.
• Inspect drums, wheel bearings, and adjusters while replacing shoes.

How will replacing brake shoes improve trailer performance?

Fresh brake shoes restore proper contact with the drum surface, reducing stopping distances and removing noise caused by glazed or worn linings. Even wear across both shoes helps the brake controller operate more predictably, improving control during towing.

• Reduces squeal and vibration from worn linings.
• Restores even braking force across the drum surface.
• Helps prevent premature wear to drums and hardware.
• Makes brake controller adjustments more consistent and repeatable.

Who is this kit for? RV MURTS 10" x 2-1/4" brake shoe kits are aimed at trailer owners, RV users, and light-duty haulers who need a dependable, ready-to-install replacement for worn electric drum shoes. It's ideal for DIY mechanics who want a complete set of shoes and mounting hardware for a single axle rated 2,300–3,500 lbs, and for technicians seeking a certified OE-quality aftermarket option for Dexter-style brake assemblies.
