I promised to get back as soon as I finished my trailer overhaul, and I've finished the brake system overhaul which is probably the biggest part of the job. My Mac is a 2000 model, but the trailer is stamped 1999. After 2 days of working on it, my biggest impression is that if my `99 trailer's system was in such bad shape, what are the other 4 year and older trailers like? Are those owners hauling a trailer that they mistakenly believe has brakes? First I ordered new hubs and bearings from powersailor.com at $45 each. After removing the old hubs, I could see the brake shoes were cracked and broken into pieces...I found new shoes..#154's for $15 at autozone. The wheel cylinders were a different story. Totally gunked, not even worth trying to rework. I had to suspend work for the day until I could make a trip to the brake specialty store next morning. Found the wheel cylinders for $60, came home installed them and started to check the master cylinder. It was working, but only pushing a mix of rust, water and brake fluid. Since I'd read on this forum how other's were using Dot 5 brake fluid (it doesn't mix with water, and is $20 a quart), I knew I'd have to change the master cylinder as well. Another quick trip downtown to the specialty store for the new one which I found for $66. Installation required using 70% of the quart of Dot 5 since the system had to be flushed really well. Add the $25 for new bearing buddies and covers, and parts alone came to around $280. That doesn't include any labor..but since it really takes 2 to bleed brakes, I am much indebted to my next door neighbor for his expertise and help..I figure I must owe him about $75 for two days of his time. Another $200 will probably cover the bunk's carpet, new winch, trailer lites, and a can or two of some black rustoleum.. but those are leisurely jobs. I'm thinking about just putting off the purchase of new tires until next season, but that may be just because I'm tired and sore from the brake job. Hopefully, this new brake system will last another four years before it needs to be repeated.
