Trailer brakes and bearings....

[bgreene]

Started my project # 1 this weekend - checking / re packing bearings and trailer brakes.
First wheel off and this is what I've found:

1. bearings fine - the grease gun change I had done through zerk fitting about 1 mo ago completely replaced the previous ( different color) grease, and permeated all areas completely.

2. disk brake pads & rotors - worn down somewhat unevenly, with small ridges and valley's evident on the pads. Rotors featured matching very small ridges and valleys, meaning I'd like to get them smoothed/ cut. Tie down parts show option for either " organic" ...........or " ceramic" pads that feature life time warranty.

Trailer is just 2-3 years old, but I trailer 120 miles each round trip, and mostly saltwater use, so it gets run....

I'm showing the trailer company the pads and rotor for their input.
Doing the work myself feels gratifying ......so far.
