Here we go again my next project , my trailer
Brakes on my ez loader duel axel, duel braking system stopped working?
Supports a 21 footer.
Upon inspection fluid resavior was dry.
Refilled, hand pumped actuator and fluid was spraying all over aluminum frame.
Upon inspection found a 3 ft section had rust and a pin whole developed.
Going too Auto zone purchased 4 ft of new brake line, with all connectors. Rented crimping tool.
Cut away removing all rust, and installed new brake line.
Hand pumped actuator and no leaks, and actuator was getting hard too pump from fluid reaching all wheels.
Took for a ride and still no brakes.
I have too bleed brakes.
I live in Fl and boat all year.
WHile I was under boat noticed springs had a lot of rust and some on axels.
My next plan is too lauch boat, working easily, tackel wiring, and address rust.
I have no sand blaster
Just orbit sander, drill sander, plane sander, two hands.
Once I get rust off springs limmited rust on axels
What would you boaters recomened how I should tackel ?
Any cleaner sold at Ace or a special material at boating or trailer shops.
Should I throw paint on springs,? or thats a waist of time, painting axel is easy enough
If actuator gets hard while manually pumping, and after bleeding still no brakes should I replace assembly or what else should I look for?
