The difference between AL-KO and Dexter brake shoes
The critical thing to look for when inspecting trailer and caravan shoes is the slot or hole in the top of the shoe.
AL-KO brake shoes are slotted at the top of the shoes, and AL-KO park brakes have horizontal slots for the shoes.
Dexter brake shoes have a hole at the top of the shoes. Dexter shoes also use a spring on the top to hold the shoes together.
Installation Instructions
Install the larger shoe towards the back of the trailer and the smaller shoe towards the front of the caravan.
Please Note: One axle uses two pairs of shoes.
Why is this?
- The longer shoe is the primary brake shoe and faces the caravan’s rear.
- The short shoe is called a secondary brake shoe and faces the front of the caravan.
How electric brakes work
The magnet, when energised, will attach itself to the inside of the moving brake drum and remain connected during braking.
The attached magnet on the drum forces the brake’s shoes during a forward motion, causing deceleration.
Tip: If your electric magnet and shoes need replacing, check the other components, which may also show signs of wear. Electric magnets need replacing when the wear holes are no longer visible.
A better solution is to buy an entire backing plate and bolt it onto the weld ring.
The supply cable to the rear tail light globes is only large enough to power 21w, which is 1.75A. The power supply required to power 4 electric brake magnets is 4 x 3.2A or 12.8 amps.
