Step 6
With the aected wheel o the ground, spin the tire, then
engage the brake to determine whether or not the brake is
functioning properly.
Step 7
Remove both forward and rear wheel from the aected side.
Step 9
Remove aected axle from the swing-arm by removing 8 lock
nuts and 4 U-Bolts that secure the axle.
If the brake IS functioning properly, lift the axle and inspect the
wire. If there is no damage to the wire, proceed to Step 16 for
reassembly. If the brake is NOT functioning properly, or upon
inspection it is determined that the wire is damaged in any
way, cut/sever (at the butt connector) the aected brake wire
and proceed to Step 10.
Step 8
If in Step 6 the brake IS functioning properly, DO NOT cut/
sever the brake wire yet. If the brake IS NOT functioning
properly, cut/sever (at the butt connector) the aected brake

Step 13
If you are replacing the wire on the curb-side of the trailer,
you will need to use the damaged wire to pull the new
wire through the crossmember to the wire access on the
road-side of the coach. Then you can feed the wire through
the grommet and the swing-arm. It is easier to feed the
wire through the grommet with the grommet loose from the
swing-arm, then once the wire is all the way through the
swing-arm, use a screwdriver to insert the grommet into the
hole in the swing-arm.
Step 14
Cut/sever aected brake wire at the gel cap connection and
splice in new/replacement wire with the gel cap connectors
supplied in the kit.
Step 15
Replace access cover.
Step 16
Prior to re-seating axle, ensure that the brake wire rests
against the swing-arm tube wall out of the way/free of
the axle locator.
Step 17
Ensuring that the replacement brake wire is free of the
axle locator, position the axle back into the swing-arm
– ensuring that the locator is appropriately seated on/
around the locator bolt.
