Troubleshooting
Brakes are binding or overheating after installation.
Check that the brake adjusters are not set too tight and verify that the brake cables are not kinked or under excessive tension.
Brakes feel weak or unresponsive.
Ensure the cable tension is correctly balanced across the twin axles and that the shoes have been properly bedded in per standard procedure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before beginning installation, ensure your trailer is safely jacked and supported on jack stands—never rely on the trailer jack alone. Compare all items in the kit, particularly the brake cables and shoes, against the parts removed from your trailer to confirm match, as minor manufacturing variances can occur. The brake adjusters provided are specific to post-2003 models; if your trailer is older, verify your original adjuster configuration first. Once installed, ensure the cables are routed correctly without sharp bends, and adjust the shoes to the manufacturer's recommended clearance to prevent binding.
