This is the same brand of brakes (Demaxx) that I just bought. Thanks for posting this video. It really helps!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Awesome cap. Im glad it help and thanks for watching 👀

[@axscdvfb]

Did you bend the tips of the brake pads? Some people say you should bend them but some people say not necessary

[@OutOnTheReef]

@axscdvfb I found that out too.There's some people do different ways with the clips

[@bobjoncas2814]

...salt water plays heck with brakes and wheel bearings, inspect and repair when it's needed..good tips and advice...keep safe skipper..

[@jimmclelland206]

Good job Cap. Thanks for sharing your maintenance work. Look forward to another trip with you when they open things up. Be safe.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thanks Jim hopefully soon Thanks for watching Cap.

Hope you went to Harbor freight and purchased that cordless lithium battery impact wrench. Good video.

[@OutOnTheReef]

I just purchased one yesterday a Dewalt impact, thanks cap

[@goodtimeswithal]

You forgot to lub your insert under your caliper bolts. Very important step. That is the reason one pad isn't worn

[@goodtimeswithal]

I'll make a video next June on my channel on how to do a brake and bearing job. Check it out

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thnks cap.👍🛥⚓️

Hi Capt, great information, thank you!... We are in 'brackish' water, and I only use my trailer for hurricane haul-outs, so I hope I won't need to do this very soon; but this is great information to know.....

[@OutOnTheReef]

Just make sure every time you take it out of the salt water before you store it that you rinse the trailer brake and disc that's really good that's going to make it last a lot longer

[@andrewfyakim525]

@@OutOnTheReef Thank you... good advice!

Thanks for the info! Looks to be the identical trailer I have - Continental with the deemax brakes. I am on my 3rd year with my trailer. I need to check the brakes as you have done. Thanks for the video!

[@OutOnTheReef]

Awesome captain and yes check your trailer because if you use it a lot like I do something may go wrong it's good to keep an eye on it and thanks for watching captain

[@christiandrumr80]

@@OutOnTheReef Thank you!!!! Capt. One last question - what wheel bearing grease do you use on the EZ lube hubs and how often do you replace it? I am using the blue Lucas Marine Grease and replace it in the middle of the season and end of the season and before our major trip we take yearly.

[@davidkelley6986]

Thank you Capt for doing this video. I have the same trailer that is also a year old. I am going to check my brakes.

[@OutOnTheReef]

anytime Dave is important if you travel at the highways to have good brakes 😉👍👍

[@DavidSmith-fs4nt]

Just watched your video and thanks for the tips. However, never use antiseize on the caliper bolts. They can and will back out. My son did this on his brakes and he learned the hard way.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Thanks for sharing that info cap 👍and for watching

[@jzl300z]

Most people in S. FL running their trailers without brakes. I didn’t want to run that liability, so installing electric brake kit I ordered last year. Currently had surge but wanted to try this out, lets see if it lasts at least a year lol.

[@OutOnTheReef]

i know the brakes are very important to avoid a accident and im sure ir will last you a year just wash them with fresh water often cap.

[@eddieliu393]

Thank you. Great video! I have a boat trailer as well and how do you find out what disc to get? Such as where do I locate the model # etc? Thanks

[@OutOnTheReef]

yes look at your model and call the company or do a web search cap. thanks for watching

[@adAlqubaisi]

hi captain i always wanted to install same for my trailer but soon i will once all things with covid 19 settle down since there is no shipping now from US to UAE. i think its better to paint the calibers to keep rust away and to give sanding to disks. stay safe

[@OutOnTheReef]

great idea cap and i hope you get yous done

[@kevinconklin2174]

I can not get my trailer breaks to engage what can I do to fix the problem?

[@OutOnTheReef]

Fost check fluids and leaks cap

[@lukefarmer5391]

I have the exact brakes as you. The same thing happened to mine. Only one side same one as yours. I went to the others and I could Pop them all apart. Deemaxx brakes have stainless steel pads that are only about $20 more for a pair. Your replacement you installed is going to be bad again very soon. Next set get the stainless backed pads so you can hopefully go few years instead of only one like we both did.

[@OutOnTheReef]

i could not order them i went on the web and saw them but websites ware scammers in 2 cases so i gave up and just purchased the safe for now but i will love to find them, if you have a link please share it with me thanks👍👌

Coje los Calipers lo lijas y los pintas con buena pintura resistente al Moho. No se si la vista me falló, pero veo que el liquito de frenos esta bastante sucio, eso le resta mucho la capacidad a la hora de frenar. No vendria mal hacerle un Flush al todo el sistema de frenos. Saludos Cap.

[@OutOnTheReef]

Tremebda idea cap. Lo are pronto, gracias y saludos

[@luckybalbowa]

The manufacturer recommends putting loctite 262 on those bolts. Isn’t anti-seize the last the you want on those bolts if the manufacturer says to put loctite on them? Just curious. I’m not a mechanic

[@OutOnTheReef]

it helps them later if you need to removed them again they don't get locked in

[@brianmichaelhamilton8831]

Does that bottom pad want to jump back out of the caliper on you any, because mine is doesn’t really want to seat in

[@OutOnTheReef]

No cap. I had no problems

[@chadgeetter308]

My trailer is less then year old, I take extremely good care of it but lately I’ve noticed some of the rims getting hot after a trip when normally they are no more than warm. Is there something I should be lubricating or cleaning on these brakes, mine appear to be in very good condition and I can’t understand why they are heating up sometimes.

[@OutOnTheReef]

One question captain you think the bearings may need some greasing cause that could be also why the rims getting hot

[@chadgeetter308]

@@OutOnTheReef good consideration but in this case I can smell the distinct smell of burning brakes and it’s intermittent. my bearings were also recently serviced, I’m quite certain it’s the brakes and I feel like they are just not disengaging as much as they should. I’ve never liked trailer/surge brakes for that reason.

[@OutOnTheReef]

@@chadgeetter308 Sorry to hear that captain but yes in that case it looks like they're deployed very sensitive you may want to have a trailer trailer company look at it if you can

It would be nice if you can get some Composite Calipers. I think those Brake Parts are Ford Sizes.

That is terrible in one year did you call the trailer builder. I’m gonna check mine cuz my wheels lock up if it sits to long. You might want to get wheel locks so you don’t come in and your trailer is up on blocks
