On my last boat trailer, I replaced the actuator (bolt-on) and found I could replace the whole inner brake assemblies cheaper (and easier) then replacing the individual parts that were worn. I'm not a mechanic, but was able to work through it without any major problems, so Joe, I appreciate and applaud your determination to get it right as brakes are pretty darn important!
If my actuator had not been welded on, I would have replaced the whole thing instead of a rebuild. With all the flooding down here, getting to the lake has been a challenge. I finally got to make a decent long run on the highway. Before I got to the lake I pulled over to check the hub and brake temps. Cool as a cucumber. I measured the temp and think it was around 150-160 or so.Originally Posted by ert188
