    This was a great video. Everything was explained slow and thoroughly. I'm handy, but no mechanic and the way this video was presented was absolutely perfect. Thank you.

    If you push the greese from one side until it comes out the other side of the bearing you can be sure it is all the way through the bearing, good video it is very informal

    May I offer a "pro-tip" that you missed: Remember to remove all jewelry before you start working on your equipment. Watches, wedding rings, etc. make your hands extra vulnerable to injury. The jewelry can get caught in tight places, and may even cause the loss of a finger or hand--or worse. My uncle taught me this, with a story when I asked about his hand. He always wore his wedding ring as a sign of his faith to his wife, even while working in cars. It was his promise of faith to her unto death. But then came the day he was working on a car, next to the battery; the ring shorted out the positive terminal to the frame of the car. It welded itself into that gap with loads of arcing & sparking & bad smells, and it burned his finger down to the bone. He lost that finger, and could have lost his hand or his life. Hopefully your spouse / significant other will understand that removing that ring isn't saying you don't love them, or showing that they can't trust you. It's simply a good way to avoid trapping your finger or hand in a tight place. You want to have all your parts in good working order for your spouse and yourself, well into the future. Remove that ring, and any other jewelry, and you're good to go! Don't forget to put it back on when the project's complete! Always set it down in a safe place, preferably the same spot every time, so you don't lose it or forget where you put it.

    If you are going to replace the full backing, I suggest buying the self adjusting ones. You wont ever have to use the star to adjust the brake.

      @homebuiltshop  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I can't say for sure, but I'd expect it to be very similar if not identical. A lot of trailers have this type of setup.

    when hooking up wires behind hub does it make a difference which wire on hub goes to a certain wire on trailer??

      It doesn't matter which wire you use for the brakes.

      @Skyler_Hagen ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@jhoan035 the coil in the magnet doesn’t care which direction the current goes through it. Either wire can act as the ground or the positive supply. You’ll notice on these brakes that the wires are almost always the same color and unmarked, for this reason.

  • @anthonyhitchings1051
    @anthonyhitchings1051 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    The routing of the brake cable will cause to much flexure, it should follow the arm , which is why the wires were broken
