How To Replace Hydraulic Disc Brakes On 10K Trailer Axle

This 10k trailer is long overdue for a brake job and it's a big one! With this heavyweight axle, you can expect this to be a big money job, both in parts and labor. Rotors, brake pads, calipers, bearings, seals.....they all have to go and be replaced. This job is the full meal deal. How much should you expect to spend if you have a similar trailer needing a brake job? Are the “off brand” parts as good as the name brands we’ve come to recognize? How often should you expect to have to do this type of job? Is the money worth it to spend getting the job done at a qualified shop? Watch this video for the answers to these questions and more! The TrailerSmith will walk you through the ins and outs of this massive brake job, plus he gives you tips for saving money on parts and shows you what to look for to make sure you are getting the most bang for your buck.

Very honest on the parts pricing. I will check around for parts more diligently. Thanks fellow Texan

[@typicalgamerisaaco4169]

very good video my brake caliper started leaking and saw some oil rings and said I don't think they need it. I am glad I saw this video before putting all together.

ever done a toraflex #14 12k or any help getting 2 rotor a caliper and a yoke with a 90-11 on it. Cant believe how hard it is to find these part and how expensive they are

[@tinoamato2898]

What a great video ..thank you . I'm buying a ten ton trailer at auction. I would bring it to you . Where is your shop? I'm near Pensacola

[@TheTrailerSmith]

Thanks for watching the video! I'm a good ways away from you, in Texas. If you are seriously interested, you can check out www.texascustomtrailers.com and give us a call.

[@ericgunkel2029]

is there any way to get just the bullet that goes on the bolt anywhere? cant seem to find them anywhere.

[@TheTrailerSmith]

The only place I get them from is in the brake pad kit. They can be installed without the bullet, if you take your time. The bullet has only been in use a few years. Or you can try buying the kit just for the bullet if you want to go that route.
