This is Dexter Marines 12 inch G5 Stainless Steel Disc Brake Kit for trailers with 6000 lb Axles running 5 Lug Wheels. This G5 Kit mounts to your standard 5 Hole Brake Flange that is on your trailers axle. This Disc Brake Kit will replace 12 inch 6 Lug Brake Drums, or other 6 Lug Disc Brake systems, as long as your axle has a standard 5 Hole Brake Flange. The All Aluminum Calipers featured in this Kit are 380 series, which have been tested and proven to shed heat five times than cast iron brake calipers. They are additionally E Coated to prevent salt build up. These Aluminum Calipers feature Stainless Steel Backed Ceramic Brake Pads with a Lifetime Limited Warranty. These Calipers feature a bi medal piston system, which integrates an outer stainless steel piston with an inner anodized aluminum sleeve to shed heat faster, and provide maximum corrosion resistance when submersed.
The Pistons are protected by an Oversized rubber boot, which is 50% thicker to provide more efficient piston withdraw. Additionally, a rotating brake line connector allows for easy installation of the brake line going into the caliper at multiple angles. Bleeding the brakes is simple and efficient, using the Stainless Steel Bleeder valve located at the top of the caliper.
The Aluminum Brake Calipers are attached to the Galv X caliper bracket with Stainless Steel Slide pins, which are seated in oil impregnated bronze bushings, for smooth and corrosion resistant floating, allow your brakes to move freely, yielding optimal braking performance.
