bleeding trailer brakes
 

what's the best way to get this done, about 42', brakes on two axles, serge type system. use a vacuum pump to bleed them ??

You can also take the guard off the e-brake lever and have a buddy work it manually like pumping a brake pedal.

Vacuum pump is fastest.

Say yes to the vacuum pump! I have a triple axle and the E-brake was to much a pain in the but

Can you get that pump at Vato Zone, NAPA ect.

LOL.....yes there are fancier ones but this is what I use. You can find them almost anywhere or at least a version of it.

I bought this bleeder 2 years ago to do my trailer. I would never do one again without it. Money well spent.

Which of the Summit universal one do you need for trailer brakes, they list different applications, is it the one listed above bu underpsi68

same one I use. I bought all the adapters ..2 min I can bleed brakes on any trailer out there . wouldent be without it

For the cheap bass turds in the house....
Considering I use it about on e a year, it fit the bill.

I prefer the pneumatic system from HF - the reservoir bottle alone is almost worth it even if you buy the manual vac pump system too.
Easy to do with only one man and have a larger reservoir of fluid for visual reference so there is no risk of sucking air.

Boat off the trailer makes life even easier.

I have the same deal at work but a ton of adapters. Other shops come by to borrow it for their troublesome bleed jobs. Brakes, clutches, etc.

It is freakin awesome. Best way to bleed brakes, even abs systems.
