I was doing some maintenance on my trailer and need to replace the rotor / hub assembly --- (UFP DB-45). I've replaced hubs on trailers before with no problems these however are part of a disc brake system.
I need to remove the calipers to pull off the old rotor / hub assembly.
Any pointers or things to watch out for. It seems rather easy but want to make sure I get some feedback before I start the process myself.
Thanks.....

Nothing special to it. If you have ever did a car it is set up the same.
On the DB-42 you will have to remove the wire retainer, then use a screwdriver to pry back the spring clip in top. The caliper is held on with a single bolt that gets 17 ft lbs torque upon re-assembly. Once the caliper is out of the way, knock the protector off the end of the hub with a block of wood and a hammer, turning the rotor as it "walks" off. Remove the cotter pin, retainer and nut to slide the rotor off. You will need NOK seal # AD2527E for re-assembly.
