Another fully comprehensive guide as to how to complete your job
-
Another great video to explain brake assembly workings.
-
The BEST and most detailed video I've found. Most thing's I've seen only talk about the brake assembly and don't show how the magnet contact impacts the hub. And most just talk about swapping the brake assembly and using the existing hub without discussing the impacts. A while ago I was told I needed to increase my gain......and now I know why by magnets has worn out, my drum has grooves, but the brake pads still have plenty of life. Thanks!!!

Thx for this series on trailer breaks. I am going to tackle new springs, shackles, equalizer and if necessary change breaks and new bearings. B
-
Amazing! To the point and Extremely educational. Thanks for what you do!!!
-
Excellent video ! No nonsense and well explained

Thank you for helping me understand what the magnet is used for.
-
Absolutely amazing video!! I feel i know everything about everything now. Thank you for the time you put into this.
-
Fantastic, This video was an excellent explanation on how trailer brakes should work, the problems you can have and solutions.
-
Excellent video. You could not explain it better. Thanks.
-
Appreciate the video. I bought a pop-up camper yesterday and the brakes have never worked. I want to replace them, but I have no idea which ones to get. Seems like a lot of trailers use 10" but I'm not sure
-
Great video, and very informative! Thank you! Im about to start some work on a Parker car trailer. The wiring needs to be replaced, and I will check the brakes while Im doing it. Also repack the bearings etc. I also watched your burnishing video, never knew that. Thank you!
-
Thanks for your videos! I've been learning the ins and outs of rv trailer brakes with your help. If you think that drum is bad from heavy magnet use and poorly adjusted shoes, you should see my record player grooved drums I've discovered. They look like the rings of Saturn!
-
These are some of the best videos on youtube!
-
Thanks for helping me understand how they work. I just got a brand new car, and dealer fitted wiring harness. On my first trip it didn’t drive very well, then when I got myself to the campsite, the drums and rims were boiling hot on the caravan. My old car never had a problem. I’m not sure yet if there is a wiring issue from the dealer, and I can’t find a simple video to confirm correct wiring, or weather there is a magnet issue, but now I have some diagnostic tools. Thanks again.
