Hi there, Surge brake and hydraulic brake trailer owners. Today we're gonna be taking a look, and showing you how to install etrailer's, hydraulic Uni-Servo drum brake assemblies. These are available with both the left and right side, so you have one for your axle here, for one axle complete. They are available and in two different sizes depending on the weight of your trailer. We're showing off the 10 inch model today, which is for 3,500 pound, but if you've got 5.2 to 7K, we'd want the 12 inch version. All right, once you've got your brake assembly disassembled, we can go ahead and install our new setup.

Even if you didn't have brakes before, if you're just taking your hub off and you're going to add brakes, you just need to make sure you do have a flange here. Now these are hydraulic brakes, so they are gonna require hydraulic lines, and an actuator to activate it. So if you're just replacing damage brakes, this is a great assembly to do so. Or if you're gonna add breaks to your trailer, just keep in mind in addition to the shoe assembly, the the whole assembly that we've got here with the backing plate, you're also gonna need your drum unless you can reuse your other drums. Now with the old drums, you do wanna make sure you measure the tolerances and make sure that it hasn't worn out of spec.

And on your drum you should see on the side of it, it'll give you a maximum diameter that the inside of that drum can have before it needs to be discarded. We're gonna be using some line kits here from Kodiak and it is a flexible line kit, so it's flexible all the way front to back. You can get this in either a single or tandem axle kit. We're just gonna be doing a single axle today just here on the front. But you could also install a full set all the way around, which would be a total of four assemblies and then that line kit would provide for that.

And then of course you need your actuator at the front. This is a boat trailer, so it's got a surge actuator, but we do have other styles for if you had a different type of trailer that wasn't a surge. We have hydraulic actuators as well that are are powered electrically and electrical hydraulic style. So we're gonna go ahead and get our assembly on here now. Now the other stuff's all the way out of the way.

This is our new assembly here. We're gonna be sliding this just into place. You do need a break flange that will accept the studs here. That's on our assembly. There's our studs. Those are gonna line right up with the brake flange. This is designed for a 10 inch break drum, so it's 10 inch assembly. And if we take a quick look at it here before we install it, we can kind of see what we get here with this assembly. So this is actually a pretty basic setup. You got your wheel cylinder there, it's just a single wheel cylinder as far as the way it expands. It only will push out on one side. It doesn't push out on both. And this gives it a leading trailing type setup where you can see that this shoe is shorter than this shoe. And the friction properties of these are slightly different. This one is designed to grab right away and the bottom of it here actually pushes with your adjuster here. It'll push this over and dig the larger shoe into the brake drum to cause it to stop. Now another thing you might notice is the adjuster here at the bottom, all you see is the adjust wheel. There are no other mechanisms there. So this is not gonna be automatic adjusting. You are gonna have to ma
