[AT] trailer brake parts

[charlie hill]

Al,  I can't give an opinion about etrailer.  From what the others are 
saying
I suspect they are fine.  If you want an alternative, I have a friend that 
builds
some trailers and he buys all his axles, hubs, etc. from these folks.
http://www.redneck-trailer.com/  Or at least he did the last time I talked 
to him
about it.

Subject: [AT] trailer brake parts

My tractor hauling trailer needs new brakes.  In doing my research it
looks like it's easier and not much more expensive to just replace the
entire brake assemblies.  Have found some that are way cheaper than
OEMs (they are Dexter axles) on Etrailer.com.  Anyone ever dealt with
them?

Would you replace the wheel bearings since everything's already apart
or just grease and re-use if they look ok?  Trailer is an '03 and
doesn't have tons of miles but most of the miles it has are pulling a
Cub, Super A, or similar.  It has the EZ Lube feature and I give them
a few pumps of grease now and then.  I'm going to pull it to Red Power
Roundup in Wisconsin this June and bring home a 3500 lb corn picker
and I want to make sure I get there and back with no issues!
