For the 2 nuts on the axle. You gotta tighten the inner one to 100ft pounds as your spinning the wheel, then back it off 90 degrees, put your washer on and then put your outer nut on and tighten to 150-160 ft pounds.
I heard you say your still in service. How are you able to work your business at the same time. I am a veteran also and work full time but want to get into hauling.
Hey ant. Thanks for the video. I’ve been looking really hard at this kit on etrailer. Can you do a review video on how much of an improvement it made to you?? Thanks again and God bless
@John Boyle, Since installing the kit I’ve logged a little over 7K miles it has made a drastic improvement over the electric drum brakes. I run my brake controller on 1.5 empty and 3 when loaded there is a slight delay in application which is minimal you get consistent braking application every time. The kit I purchased from a company in Pennsylvania. I didn’t have time to run the lines myself and mount the controller so I had a local trailer shop finish that up for me. They did a shady job which I’m going to reroute the lines and change how the pump is mounted. Ensure that you put fuel line atriums your metal brake lines where you have metal on metal contact. If you mount the pump close to the axles you will need to run two wires from the front of your trailer and install a box to protect the pump. I plan on doing a follow up video soon. Thank you.
@@dewayneturner3882 they are hooked up the same way as the electric but with the addition of a pump that also serves as the reservoir for the brake fluid. The brake controller sends a electric signal to the pump which activates sending fluid through the brake lines to the calipers located on the wheels containing the brake pads squeezing the rotor creating friction which in turn stops the trailer.
My actuator was already on the neck beside the battery for the brakes so I ran the brake line from the back all the way to the front just behind the hitch. That’s where I mounted the pump.
Have 15,000 pound axles under my 42-foot deck over and you know if anybody makes a disk brake conversion kit for those axles? I've been looking but haven't been able to find one.
Just thought I would put this out... When I used to buy electric drums and brakes for my trailer the 12,000 lb kits and the 15,000 lb kits were identical. There's a good chance the 12,000 lb kit will be a match for a 15,000 lb axle... But do your research and check it out first before you pull the trigger.

@@antmoundlogistics nice that’s what I expected ok know I’ll for sure buy the kit and install thanks so much
@@antmoundlogistics Disc brakes are new to me so what operates them and how are they hooked up??

@@antmoundlogistics Thank you
Do you have any updates on how this system has worked for you after a year?
I sold the trailer a few months later and moved into a semi.
What size axels and brand of axels? Also you know the part number from who you got it from?
12K Dexter axles
Brechbill Trailers in Pennsylvania
Thanks for the video!
You’re welcome.

I would have marked axle nuts with a chisel and axle spindle. That way nut gets preloaded to same place it came off.
I took pictures. Not all of the hubs were properly tightened and one of them didn’t have any tabs bent down locking the axle nuts in place.
