Thread: ranger trailer brakes

Have bought stuff for brakes from e-trailer.com in past

X2 on e-trailer for your parts. They should have everything you need and about as cheap as anyone out there.

Thanks will see what they have tomarrow

If you have a newer model with disc brakes, you'll will probably end up replacing the hydraulic system to get things right. If it's an older drum brake system, look into converting to an electric brake system. It's a lot less aggravating than surge brakes.

Thanks the brakes are surge disc I haven't looked at them yet but I think the pads are shot just need pads i think

Pads are standard automotive pads. Pull a wheel and identify your calipers and you can get the pads anywhere. UFP (Dexter) and Tiedown make most if not all trailer brake systems. The UFP DB-42 uses pads for the front wheels of a 1991 Plymouth Acclaim or Dodge Daytona. The UFP-DB-35 uses 1997-2000 Kia Sephia pads. Tiedown I'm not sure about an alternative source, but you can get them directly from Tiedown.

Hate to be a cynic, but the odds of it being pads only is pretty darn slim. I can't say I've ever heard of anybody wearing out a set of pads on a boat trailer because the calipers seldom last long enough without something else going wrong making you replace them or take them apart.

Good news is that the parts aren't crazy expensive and replacement doesn't require any special tools or knowledge.

Thanks Catfan want to get them done asap much appreciate the info
