Default Speaking of brake problems (Fairfax), anyone have any sources for trailer brake parts?

Neighbor's "new" boat trailer has a surge-type hydraulic system with disc brakes that are seizing up...that and the pads are worn to almost nothing. I cracked the line loose and the left caliper loosened up a little while the right was still tight...oh and water/rust under the piston boots is never a good thing. :P

I'm looking for pads, rotors, and caliper rebuild kits...I can get the particulars, but it's a Midwest brand, model A-60 (...or was it A-90?).

Default would either: Northern Tools, Harbor Freight, or Tractor Supply Co have it?

I think there's a Tractor Supply on Rt-301 down in Waldorf/La Plate... that was the closest one down in SoMD.

Default There's Gateway down there, too...and Cooper's on the Shore...

I'm hoping someplace local (NAPA, Bowen's, etc.) will carry them...and I learned there's a trailer place right across the street from my office, I'll run out during lunch and hopefully hit paydirt.

PS - My neighbor offered a new-in-box Wii he won from work if I take care of it for him...and he buys the parts. Sold! :P

Default Check Out the Trailer Parts Superstore

These guys have dirt cheap prices. I've bought lots of stuff from them. Very high quality name-brand stuff.<ul><li><a href="http://shop.easternmarine.com/">http://shop.easternmarine.com/</a</li></ul>

Looks promising...will they know their *** vs. elbow if I call them with make/model or a VIN number?
