#Trailer brake cable replacement how to

You could have ended up on the highway and in some shitty pothole your trailer would have at highway speeds and now you will asking about how to file a total loss on your insurance. You know what you don’t realize is that you were extremely lucky. One particular time I remember we were in a bit of a rush so I thought about skipping the whole plunge thing, but somehow Zeus smacked me in the head and made me look. I know it is a pain but I can been luck to avoided your situation more than once by laying down. I have gotten myself in the habit of laying down on the floor after I put the pin to make sure that the tongue is properly sited. To avoid this you can jerk it around like said or( and) take the plunge. The problem is your tongue locked on the top of the ball instead of underneath of it. The locking “tongue “ took the weight of the trailer so you where able to flip the jack wheel and put the pin as BAU.

Your trailer was probably 1 inch more forward than where it should have been.

You guessed it but I can tell you for sure what happened.

It can be replaced with a carabineer type clip, or just wrapped around enough to prevent it from getting loose and dragging.ĮDIT: there are many very experienced trailer drivers here (I'm not one of them), if you can post pictures of the troubled coupler in question it may be easier for the guys to give you specific advice. Shorland'r trailers come with a little 'S' figure clip - and that things is just awful as it can disconnect at any time driving down a highway, potentially get snagged with catastrophic consequences. One word of caution about those breakaway cables - and this is something that almost never gets talked about for some reason - is to make sure the cable's truck connection is securely fastened.

I would respectfully suggest an easy way to deal with it is by taking the boat off the trailer - one can then manually test this critical coupler/hitch ball connection by lifting, jerking, and shoving the trailer tongue around - one should not be able to dislodge it in any direction including strait up. Those coupler ball gripping/ adjustment mechanisms can be tricky.
