Electric Trailer Brake Assembly Adjustment  

Question:

how far to back adj off when you adj the brakes

0

Expert Reply:

Use a brake adjustment tool to turn the starwheel on the adjuster to expand the brake shoes until the wheel is very difficult to turn by hand. Then back off the starwheel in the other direction, about 10 clicks until the brakes drag slightly. Make sure all brake assemblies are adjusted in the same manner.

Check out the video (see link). Beginning at the 4:23 mark, our installer shows how to adjust your trailer brakes.
