Can this handle be used on trailers made before 2009?

How do I attach the pad?
The pad is typically pre-attached or designed to be fitted onto the end of the handle to contact the jockey wheel tube.
Troubleshooting
Handle is difficult to screw in
Ensure the threads on the handle and the jockey wheel assembly are clean and free of debris. Verify that you are using the correct 5/8" BSF thread and that it is properly aligned.
Clamp does not hold the jockey wheel securely
Check that the pad is making firm contact with the jockey wheel tube. Tighten the handle further, ensuring it is not cross-threaded. Inspect the pad for damage or excessive wear.
Handle feels loose after tightening
Re-check the thread engagement. Ensure the handle is screwed in sufficiently before tightening. If the issue persists, the jockey wheel assembly itself may be worn.
