trailer brake question

Neither did much work on boat trailers and it was tough finding anyone that did around me. Both claimed to see plenty of surge drum brake combos but not surge disc brake combos. The trailer place expected that they would have all the parts after eyeballing it but ended having just the caliper mounting bolts. Uhaul found the brake pads easily and got the lug nuts/bolts from o'reilly autoparts.

The caliper mounting bolts vibrated out on one side of my trailer this summer. Rather than just have the caliper remounted and the line between the calipers repaired I went ahead and replaced the pads, had the bearings repacked and replaced a few stripped lugs as well. I also ended up replacing two tires. Nothing makes you appreciate how important your trailer is until it becomes non operational during boating season.
