Installation: Remove old cables and springs, clean the backplates of debris, and install the new shoes, expanders, and adjusters. Ensure springs are properly seated.
Routing: Route the new cables carefully, ensuring they are not kinked or passing over sharp edges.

Care: Inspect brake components annually for corrosion or ingress of road grime, especially if the trailer is frequently used in coastal or harsh environments.
