    How to loose a caliper on your trailer disk brake system..

    I use silver or gold anti-seize on items like lug nuts, but it is the exact opposite of thread sealer. A little goes a long way. We primarily boat in saltwater, so the anti-seize helps.

    How to loose a caliper on your trailer disk brake system..

    I’d use red (hi strength) Loctite or similar. Most specs will call for it vs the blue medium strength on brake parts.

    Towing speed (?)

    For the record I only use CC when appropriate, like on long stretches of interstate with open road. I don't use it in tight or windy roads etc nor in traffic, like one has in the Puget Sound region. But from say Cle Elum or Ellensburg to Spokane...with miles and hours of nothing but desert...

    Marine oil vs car oil

    I do a complete oil change every spring. It's quick and easy. Originally, I was using "official" Suzuki-brand oil but now I just use a comparable 10w-40 synthetic blend that is much cheaper. We usually don't complete 200 hours per season, as we are still working stiffs (well, at least the...
