Troubleshooting

Brake adjusters do not fit.

Ensure your trailer was manufactured after 2003, as specified for these adjusters. If it was, verify the original adjuster part number against the kit components.

Brake shoes do not match original parts.

Stop installation immediately and re-verify your trailer's exact model and year. Contact the supplier with details if significant discrepancies are found. While designed for GD125, variations can occur.

Brakes feel spongy or ineffective after installation.

Ensure all cables are correctly routed and adjusted. Check that all spring sets are properly seated. Re-adjust the brake shoes if necessary. Professional inspection may be required.

Trailer brakes do not self-adjust.

Confirm that the auto-reverse sliding shoe carriers are installed correctly and are free to move. Check that the brake adjuster kits are functioning and properly connected to the brake mechanism.
