YHB 12" x 2" Electric Trailer Brake Shoe Kit - Pair for Dexter K71-127-00, Bonded Linings & Hardware

YHB replacement brake shoe kit provides two pairs of bonded 12" x 2" electric trailer brake shoes and hardware to restore stopping power on one wheel compatible with Dexter K71-127-00 systems.

When a trailer’s electric brakes feel weak or the lining is worn, replacing the shoes and associated hardware preserves braking performance and safety. This kit from YHB includes both primary and secondary shoes with factory-style bonded linings plus the hold-down pins and springs needed to service one wheel on 12" x 2" electric drums. The parts match Dexter fitment for 6,000–7,000 lb axle brake assemblies, making it a practical swap for common trailer setups.

How will these brake shoes restore braking performance?

Worn or glazed linings reduce friction and produce longer stopping distances; installing fresh, fully bonded linings returns consistent contact with the drum. These shoes are manufactured with bonded pads to minimize delamination and increase braking torque under load.

• Includes primary (040-215-00) and secondary (040-216-00) shoes with bonded lining.
• Bonded construction resists separation for longer service life.
• Designed to match drum profile for even wear and predictable braking.

Will this kit fit my trailer’s Dexter electric brakes?

The YHB kit is made to be interchangeable with Dexter Part # K71-127-00 and fits standard 12" x 2" electric brake assemblies. It is specifically suitable for Dexter 6000 and 7000 series axles (commonly referred to as 6k and 7k), but always confirm drum diameter and width before purchasing.

• Compatible with Dexter K71-127-00 replacement part.
• Fits 12" diameter by 2" wide electric brake drums.
• Intended for Dexter 6000 and 7000 series axles; verify axle rating and drum size.

What is included and what do I need to complete the job?

This listing supplies the components required to replace shoes on one wheel (two pairs for two brakes on that wheel). It contains the principal wear items and basic mounting hardware, but you may need tools and ancillary parts depending on condition of your backing plate and wheel cylinder.

• Included: 1x primary shoe & lining (040-215-00) and 1x secondary shoe & lining (040-216-00).
• Hardware: two shoe hold-down pins (049-002-00) and two hold-down springs (046-077-00).
• Not included: wheel cylinder, adjuster screw assembly, or drums (inspect these during service).

How durable are these brake linings under towing conditions?

The bonded pad construction reduces the chance of separation and offers improved torque transfer compared with riveted or poorly adhered linings. Proper bedding and periodic inspection will extend service life, especially under frequent towing or heavy loads.

• Fully bonded pads for reliable adhesion and consistent braking torque.
• Engineered for heavy-duty trailer use within axle rating limits.
• Regular inspection and correct installation maximize durability.

Who is this for: This YHB kit is intended for trailer owners, fleet managers, and DIY mechanics who need a direct-fit replacement for one wheel’s 12" x 2" electric brake shoes on Dexter 6k or 7k axles. Choose this set if you want bonded linings and the essential hold-down hardware to refresh a single wheel’s braking assembly; inspect drums, wheel cylinders, and adjusters while swapping shoes to ensure a complete, safe repair.
