Hydraulic brake replacement

Post by HERNDON »

I need to replace my wheel cylinders on my 96 26X trailer and found a price from etrailer for $22.00 ea. Then I found a complete brake assembly for $54 ea. http://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Trailer ... rakes.aspx. Are these correct? Usually sail in Fresh water lakes and only dunk the trailer a couple times a year.

Consider upgrading to discs while you're spending money on brakes. IMO

Until you back up a hill. Maintained drum brakes work fine on trailers.
