So where did I leave off? Oh yeah, tired and dirty.
So, I ordered the brake backing plate assemblies and they came in. They look good for the money.
I also hafta eat a little crow.
I called down and ordered the bearings, seals etc. for the axle. Thinking it would run about $40. Obviously, I haven't bought bearings in a while. How does $108 grab you? I just cleaned the other ones and regreased them. I still had $35 in 2 seals, since mine were destroyed coming out.
I used a battery charger to test out the brakes. I just hooked a lead up to each wire on the magnet and bypassed the brake controller. It worked good, so I am ready to reinstall the wheels and tires.
I spent the rest of the day unwiring my lights. I am so glad I had a junction box in between the tail lights and the front trailer plug. This made it easy.
I had the tail lights wired up to the "brake control" post, which was not right. It took a few hours, but I got it back where it needs to be.
Next project on the list, is to finish the underside of the trailer, so I can put the belly pan back on.

It sucks getting old - everything I buy nowadays seems to cost at least three times more than it did the last time it was purchased.
