I have the same surge system. I found that a flathead screwdriver can release the E-brake if you pry up on the side. What else... The surge brake release solenoid, I haven't found a good way to check this device other than field test it.
Yes because air in the line will compress and not force the caliper to clamp the pads on the rotor, brake fluid will not compress and will force the caliper to pinch down.
It’s also a bleeder valve. The caliper can be used on slither side of the trailer. If you flip it to the other side the lower valve would be in the top position.
Thanks for putting this together.
Perfect !! Thanks man.

Good to know. Thanks for the input.
Would air in the line cause the brakes to not work?
Yes because air in the line will compress and not force the caliper to clamp the pads on the rotor, brake fluid will not compress and will force the caliper to pinch down.
I don't know about Bleeding the brakes you need new discs !
I made the video during the beginning of Covid lockdowns. I was unable to get disc at the time but there are new one on there now.
Do you keep the cap off the whole time
Yes I do. The most important thing there is watching the fluid level and making sure you have enough that you don’t put air back in the lines.
What's the valve under the bleeder valve?
It’s also a bleeder valve. The caliper can be used on slither side of the trailer. If you flip it to the other side the lower valve would be in the top position.
