I have a 2001 escort trailer tandem that I use to tow my 1990 26' searay
The trailer sat for a long time and I think the brake froze. I had it evaluated by a trailer place and here is what they sent me:
REPAIR TRAILER: replace springs, brake lines, brakes and hubs, surge brake activator,
and buddy bearings. Guesstimate = $2500
Parts Cost:
4-10" hubs - $98.99 ea for $395.96
4- 10" drum brake kits w/backer plates - $112.68 ea for $450.72
4- springs - $57.80 ea for $231.20
1- actuator 2" = $678.98
Total Parts = $1756.86
-----------------------------------
I looked at the prices and they look rather high. Can you guys pitch in on the costs and whether it's fair? Thanks
