Trailer Maintenance

Post by vans »

I decided last night to do my annual repacking of bearings on trailer.

First wheel I pulled uncovered a brake caliper with missing slide pin, so my caliper was hanging by 1 bolt, I did two last night and plan to finish other side today.

Never know what you come across, glad I found issue before it did some damage.

Well here's another hint. Could you see marks on the inside of the rim from the caliper hitting it. If not I don't think your brakes are working.

Good deal. I think those are dodge neon calipers.

Thanks, that's good info, I've read where pads were same as Chevy Citation, Buick Skylark, although I can't remember where I read that and if it's true
I spent a while at my local Napa trying to match up bolt before ordering
By the way my calipers are Tie Down 46304A
