drum brakes

They work just like any brake, fluid moves fom the master cylinder through the brake lines to the wheel cylinders which move outwards and press the actuators against the brake pads and shoes against the drum for braking. The master cylinder is activated by he outer which rotates inside the track and presses the hitch against the master cylinder.

We think four bolts up under the front coupler and a rear line. You should probably rebuild the wheel cylinders and replace the frame lines as if the reservoir is dry they probably have rust.

We dont disagree, though wheel cylinders for a trailer are harder to come by than automotive, thus rebuilding is faster and less frustrating.
