Time for some trailer maintenance

[Buckshotmckee]

Time for some winter love on the M101A3. New brakes, bearings, seals, parking brake cables, wheel cylinders and grease job.

ISO parking brake cables

Please post the part number for your brake cables.
There are several sellers out there that claim their surplus cables will work and end up being too long.
Doable but not correct ones.

Part numbers for the other items you replaced will also help others.

Thanks

This is for the brake cables?

Yes. For the M101A3. Just a heads ups, something I discovered, some of these NOS cables, everything is perfect except for the housing lengths. The ends, the cable length, the insert into the backing plate, perfect. But like I said, the housings seem to have some variations in the lengths. I also noticed the tags on the cables had different production dates which I'm sure led to this variation. The part numbers were the same, just different production dates. The place I got the cables was nice enough to match up another cable for me and 2 day mail it to me.

Where did you source your parts?

The bearings, races, and seals I sourced from a local parts store. The wheel cylinders and brake shoes I was able to pickup complete, brand new backing plates with all new hardware from the same parts store. The brake cables I found from a place in South Carolina, DP Equipment.
The bearings, seals, backing plates are still widely in use today. Etrailer is a good source for these parts as well.
