I need to do a complete replacement of the braking system on this trailer. Its is a 1994 tandem axle EZLoader/TI Trailer GVWR 4400#
Originally it came with a A60 actuator and drum brakes.
UFP Model A60 Actuator:
Original UFP hub:
Original UFP backing Plate
All of these parts have long ago corroded and the brake assemblies have been removed. Also, years ago I burned a bearing on the passenger rear. The spindle was damaged as was the hub. The shop that did the repair replaced the original hub with one that had slightly different specs (it uses a slightly larger O.D. grease seal and a L68111 inner cup. The inner cone and the outer cup/cone are the same as the other hubs; L68149 and L44610/L44649. I'm not sure if they replaced the spindle as it still has scars on its non-bearing surface.
Passenger rear spindle and replacement hub:
Either way, I have always had problems at that location since the repair. (when I do my yearly bearing re-packing, there is evidence of water in the grease and the inner and outer bearing always appear slightly burned at this hub whereas the other bearing sets always look great) Sorry for all of that, but the bottom line is I plan to either replace this spindle or the axle entirely when I do this brake replacement.
Can anyone identify the original drum brake assembly or its current replacement part?
2" square drop axle. Under slung mount. 3500#. Track length (hub face): 87.5" Spring centers: 73.25" Overall Length 92"
Would anyone know what axle I need to get for this trailer?
Can I get a kit or complete set: axle and brake assemblies? Drum or disk?
I would also like to convert to a disk brake system and am wondering how much that would cost. Right now I have one estimate to replace everything (actuator, lines, drum brake assemblies and replace the bad spindle and old hub for about $1200 including labor. I'm guessing to do all of that but with disk brakes, it would be about a grand more.
Is that about right?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
