  1. Great instructional video skir.

  2. You have a press but not a seal tool or seal install punch. Good job tho.

  3. Thanks! I am thinking of buying an old 14 ft Trillium travel trailer that someone Frankensteined a solid axle with no brakes on leaf springs in place of original torsion axle with brakes. It makes the trailer sit much higher which may change towing characteristics. Not sure if it will be ok. It will help in terms of matching height to 4runner, but maybe not a good idea for handling with higher center of gravity. If you read this and have advice or anyone has any input, I'd appreciate it. I know nothing. I could see the square plate to mount brake assembly, so it looks like I could add the brakes. I thought I would have the expense of a new axle.

  4. Thank you. Very informative. (Have you done a video on how to install a Surge Brace System for tow trailer?)

  5. how dows th electric brakes work

  6. Very good video. Was exactly want I need to know about installing brakes. I bought a flat bed trailer without brakes and wanted to add brakes. I needed to know what I had to have to install them and this video was perfect. Thank you.

  7. Thank you. Jeromy did a video also on trailer bearings and tightened the nut to 50 ft lbs, I believe, then backed it off while holding the tire in place. Are some axles calling for different spec? Nice details in this video, thank you.

  8. Very good video. I think you sound like Mr. Roger's. He was a good teacher also. Thanks for the video.

  9. thanks mate it's people like you that make life simple

  10. NICE. thanks for the video…
    would you be able to show the mounting bracket? I might have to fabricate this part.. think a little Lincoln Pro MIG 140 would be able to handle that with .035 wire or does it need to be a heavier wire?? I'd imagine the axle would need a lot more heat to penetrate and get some solid fusion?

    I thought itd be a lot harder…. looks pretty basic. thanks again

  11. great video! made it look nice and easy!

  12. Great video, and easy to understand. I need to throw electric brakes on my boat trailer, and watching this video will help tremendously.

  13. Thanks Matt,
    Very easy to understand and VERY helpful…

  14. thanks for a great instructional video.
