Replace the axle and do away with the brakes

Can just change the hubs and do that .

[Strummer]

Good news is if he was able to pull it with brakes engaged but no tires skidding the brakes needed replacing any way!

All depends on how he had his gains set ?

Hope you're up to date on your tetanus shot. Brakes seem to be the least of your worries.

My father in-law loves letting me borrow his tools/stuff. He’s gotten a new and improved pressure washer and stud finder out of it in the past. Haha

That’s on you…

[Kingfisher789]

Probably not.

Right!….

If you haven’t had a trailer brake fail, you haven’t had many trailer brakes.

And haven’t you totaled like 3 vehicles in the last several years?lol

Man I feel this! I borrowed my father in law's trailer and was pulling it to Kemah and back. Got it my house to drop it and the hitch was broke. It would not release the ball. I had to pull the pin on my draw bar and ball to drop the trailer.

I took it to the welding shop and paid to have the cheap crappy hitch replaced with a high capacity bulldog.

I painted black with Rust-Oleum and then noticed it looked bad because the rest of the old trailer didn't match. Started to paint the rest of the trailer. Wife told him what I was doing and he told me to leave it alone that he didn't care what it looked like and appreciated the upgraded hitch.

He proceeded to tell me the hit h had had the issue for years and it you slapped it just right with a 3lb hammer it would release.

Yeah, that’s the problem with borrowing/loaning ragged stuff, it’s always about to break. Been on both ends of it, and it sucks. I don’t borrow ragged ****, and try not to loan it.

Stop lending out doomed equipment…shame on you lol

[Sparkles]

Just wait until you have son-in-laws!

No kidding
No idea if my hammer drill even works, because it must be with ladders he borrowed.
He’s on here from time to time, maybe he will see this.

What in tranation is the trailer material? Pitted metal?

[Jtrage]

Wasn’t there a thread a year or so ago that was almost exactly the same?

I don’t loan ANYTHING to my BIL because I will NEVER see it again. He is known to sell stuff that he borrows. ANYTHING that comes up missing from my mother-in-law’s house is guaranteed to be taken by him. When my father-in-law passed, my BIL left the funeral early to go take his dad’s stuff before my wife or MIL had a say. Needless to say, I don’t get along with him.
