Traveling to the beach I found that I have a brake pad loose between the ring and the brake disc, I removed, then I went to the beach knowing that I have a limited brake assistance from the trailer, anyway when I got back to town I brought it to the dealer and they found the the caliper was broken in two, one side missing, and brake disc is damaged and so on, need to replace the whole thing, my issue is that the dealer is not doing a good job here and is taking a lot of time to get parts, does anyone know what kind, brand or manufacturer do the brakes? mine is a 215 HO with a single axle trailer. maybe I can buy them by myself.

I had a brake problem a few seasons ago and ended up finding a uhaul place that would do the work. Prior to that on another trailer I found a big o tires shop that would work on trailer brakes. If you take the caliper down to Your local auto parts store they may be able to identify it and sell you a replacement.

Look at your trailer tongue for the manufacture of the brake system. Then contact them about spare parts, you might find that a the calibers are the same as on a car, such as a kia.

Here is a good write up of someone that has rebuilt their trailer, https://jetboaters.net/threads/mfi-trailer-rebuild.11306/
