Trailer Brakes
I recently bought a double axle Performance trailer for my Sportcraft. The trailer did not come with trailer brakes but I bought a new set with the trailer. they are the disc type. It has a bracket behind the hubs on the front axle (2) brakets. I pulled the wheel and hub and greased the spindle, repacked the same bearing with Marine grease and put the bearing out of the old hub into the new hub that is apart of the trailer brakes. After I got everything back together, I have this horrible wobble for some reason. Everything seems to be snug, I know the back of the disc is on tight because I put my impact wrench to it. I used stainless steel bolts. Is this wobble normal? Any help would be great. I will post some pics of what I have .

Re: Trailer Brakes
You should never reuse bearings on a differant race from my experience. Hard to tell if that's what it is or if something is out of place/loose without looking at it. Is this your first bearing job?

Re: Trailer Brakes
Sounds as though the old bearings don't match up w/ the new races, in the new hub.
That I asume are already installed as you said nothing of this part. If you took races out as well, then one of the races is not in all the way, or both. They could be wrong altogether. (new hubs) |

Re: Trailer Brakes
I have had those style brakes on a trailer repair. It sounds like the bearings are close but are not right or in the case I had, they needed a shim between the hub and disc to align the disc in the center. The one I fixed had the disc ridding hard on the inner pad and it did not take long to warp the disc - thus the vibration/wobble. Good luck.

Re: Trailer Brakes
I also vote for mismatched bearings/races. BwanaR is right about not using new bearing in old races. I replace the entire hub assembly as a unit; it is not that expensive.
