Question about trailer brakes
My brake coils on a Dexter 3500 pound axle are not wearing flat. There is a ridge at the bottom of the coil as if that portion of the coil is beyond the armature on the hub and isn't seeing the wear ...

I haven't had the discs off for 6 1/2 yrs and the oil was dark so now I'm in the middle of new seals and oil. I bled them last Oct. before I headed for Phx and the old fluid still looked just as clear as the new fluid. The discs and pads have no wear, yet... I'm that easy on brakes. I ran oil on my OTR trucks and trailers in the early 70s and I don't think it's any better than grease but it's nicer than messing with grease and oil lets you know when something is wrong when there is a leak. I've had some trouble with 0-ring seepage on the caps and I just went to a hydraulic store and got 1/8" nitrile rings. Next will be a new Dometic 320 (elongated) real man potty and we're ready in case we get to camp again! Craig.
