The AB Tools Trailer Brake Cable Back Plate Half Shell is an essential maintenance component for owners of trailers equipped with KNOTT brake systems using 19mm cable ends. Designed to provide rigid support and secure housing for the brake cable, this 6-pack ensures that the braking mechanism remains stable and responsive. While these components are highly durable due to their zinc coating, users should note that they are strictly engineered for specific KNOTT axle and drum configurations, requiring correct identification before installation to ensure compatibility.

Typically, each brake cable requires two half shells to create the housing support.
No, these are specifically engineered for KNOTT trailer brake systems.
No, the design allows you to install the cable without needing to remove the brake drum.
Yes, they are zinc-coated to provide effective resistance against rust and corrosion common in outdoor road conditions.
Using these with a cable size other than 19mm will result in a loose fit, leading to poor braking performance and potential cable slippage.
Ensure both half shells are fully seated in the back plate recess and correctly snapped together.
Check the back plate for dirt or brake dust buildup. Clean the area with a wire brush before attempting to seat the shells again.
Before installation, confirm your trailer uses a KNOTT brake system and that the cable ends are 19mm in diameter.
To maintain these components, inspect them during your annual trailer service. If you notice the cable starting to move or 'chatter' when the brakes are applied, check the shells for structural integrity and replace them if the plastic or metal casing shows signs of deformation.
