Outstanding video! Excellent production, great tutorial. I have never done this before, I now feel more confident in giving it a go. One thing you did not mention is how often should trailer brakes a) be adjusted b) get changed out entirely. Many thanks!

It would depend on many different factors as far as when to change or adjust. The adjustment should be done whenever you feel a loss of braking or have to move the gain up on the controller. changing the brakes depends on how much braking you do such as hills and or highway miles and the weight of the trailer so I elected to leave the suggestions out of this video. Thanks for watching.

Excellent instructional video. Well lighted and focused with no extraneous information. Just what us semi-handy folks need. So what if you were a little off on some of the terminology. Anybody can see the parts and recognize them immediately. All they have to do is take off one of the assemblies and take it to a parts store for direct comparison. Also like the fact you made a wise cost/benefit statement in replacing the entire assembly vs. individual components. That is the case with many repairs today.

@funbro1

I would definitely check them and go from there, There is no telling how many miles were put on the brakes if you purchased it used so at the minimum take a look and see what they look like. You may want to adjust the brakes while you have the camper in the air. Here is a link to a video where I adjusted the brakes on the same camper a while ago. Hope this helps, Happy camping.

Just asking I've been watching countless videos on how to do this since I haven't done it with my camper and I want to make sure I'm not doing just a quick fast and wrong way of doing this. I seen also that u didn't clean all the old Greece out. A lot of people on here say it acts as a contaminent agent. Just wondering as your the first I've seen do it so fast.

It’s amazing how many people who do trailer breaks don’t know the difference between a rotor and a drum also the difference between brake pads and brake shoes
@funbro1
Жыл бұрын
I’m sure more people watching videos like this know the difference but just in case. Brake shoe: either of the long curved blocks that press on the inside of the brake drum. Brake pad: A component of disc brakes used in automotive and other applications. Brake pads are composed of steel backing plates with friction material bound to the surface that faces the disc brake rotors. Rotor: A disc brake is a type of brake that uses the calipers to squeeze pairs of pads against a disc or a "rotor" to create friction. This action slows the rotation of a shaft, such as a vehicle axle, either to reduce its rotational speed or to hold it stationary. Brake drum: A broad, very short cylinder attached to a wheel, against which the brake shoes press in a drum brake. Hope this clears it up for anyone that does not know the difference. Thanks for watching.

Well done. The rotor is a drum, not a rotor. The pads are shoes, not pads. I would have removed and replaced the grease seals while at it.
