  • How to Route Brake Lines on Travel Trailer Using 5 Flex Brake Lines Included in # T4843800 Kit
  • There are a few different ways to route your brake lines. One method would take a minimum of 6 flex lines. You'd start at the actuator and go directly from the actuator to the steel brake line.

A flex line would lead from the tee to a hard line fastened to each axle, with a flex line on each end of the axle making the transition at each caliper. Four flex lines at each caliper, with two flex lines making...

  • Does Installing a Hitch on the 2003 Lexus LX 470 Require Relocating the 7 Way Connector
  • Yes. You will have to remove and relocate the 7way connection on your 2003 Lexus LX 470 in order to install the Draw-Tite # 75095 since it will install in the same location.

  • How To Properly Adjust Trailer Braking Assemblies
  • In order to adjust manual trailer braking assemblies you will first need the correct tool which is the Brake Adjustment Spoon part # W80630.

The upward motion to increase tension will be the same for both sides. If you are having trouble loosening...
