Asked on the OT earlier but didn't get much help. Anyway I have a 20ft tandem axle utility w/brakes on back axle. Well this afternoon it decided to break. I have an idea on how much the parts cost but what about installing them? I have never done one before, is this an easy or hard two person get it done in a morning job? Or bring it to Mike Geralds or open to other shops or people that do this on the side. Any ideas on what does this usually cost labor wise? Thanks

either one shouldn't be problem unbolt replace.... you just need jack and few jack stands.

Does the new axle come with all new brake components on it already? Are they disc or drum brakes?

I'm not too familiar with utility trailer brakes. If they're hydraulic you'll need to bleed the system once you get everything put back together.
