Trailer Brakes

lowbudgetjunk · Sep 13, 2014

I am going to rewire my trailer brakes and reinstall all new components. Where is the best place to purchase complete assemblies. There were brakes on both axles, so I figured I would just replace both axles worth.

Also, any tips or tricks I should know about? It seems pretty straight forward, but I have a knack for screwing up easy stuff.

If you don't buy kits, like above, be aware that they come in left and right.

Post up what you find, looking at reworking mine as well.

I am not finding a lot on 6 lug, but they are there. I am replacing the drums too just to make sure everything is done right.

We run a fleet of bumper and gooseneck trailers. All eight lug. Can't beat em. Cheaper to buy kits.

Went to Lone Wolf in Falkville and they had everything I needed. Prices were competitive, loaded the truck for me and only twenty minutes away for me.

Re:

Next random question. I installed the brakes, but did not connect the wires. I adjusted the castle nut on the spindles and packed all the bearings with grease. I pulled the trailer a few miles and all was good....until I put it in reverse. Tires locked up and wouldn't turn, even on pavement. Any ideas?
