What is the total weight of a 18 foot pontoon boat and trailer without brakes?

Very hard to answer because it varies depending on the weight of the boat and trailer. The best way to determine this is look up the boat model or ask the dealer who sells it how much it weighs. DO the same for the trailer. But the most accurate way is to tow the boat and trailer to a truck scale and weigh them.

What are the steps to put a pontoon boat on a trailer?

Back the trailer into the water until the last 2" of bunk boards are still out of the water. Get on pontoon boat and drive it toward the bunks board you can still see above the water, slowly. Even though you are going slow, you will still have enough momentum to overcome the drag of the bunk boards that are above the water. These will help hold the boat in place while you go to the front, if you don't have help, and connect the winch hook. If there is a lot of current you may need to leave the boat in forward gear, pushing it against the trailer, until the winch cable/strap is connected to the boat. Slowly pull the boat out of the water, checking as it come out to see if the boat is centered in the bunks. If it is not you may need to back it back into the water enough that the back end floats, so you can center it on the bunks.

How do you remove the wheels on a 2003 Chevy Silverado?

the same way you would change the wheels on any other vehicle. place a jack in the appropriate position, either along the frame or under the axle. before jacking the wheel completely off the ground, loosen each lug nut 1/2 turn w/an appropriate wrench. then jack the wheel the rest of the way off the ground and finish loosening all lug nuts. once the lugs are off the wheel will come off. installation is the opposite of above. just be sure that if the wheels are aluminum that you torque the lugs properly or risk warping them and possible damage to the axle bearings/seals.
