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. The line would mount to the underside of the trailer, and would tee off at each axle. 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... view full answer...
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. You can likely use some self tapping screws and the Mounting Bracket for 7-Way # 18138 to attach your existing bracket to the newly installed hitch, or you can fabricate something on your own.

In order to adjust manual trailer braking assemblies you will first need the correct tool which is the Brake Adjustment Spoon part # W80630. Once you have this tool you can remove the rubber plug from the back of the braking assembly, spin the wheel/tire, and then turn the star wheel upward while looking at the rear of the braking assembly until you start to get a slight drag on the pads. The upward motion to increase tension will be the same for both sides.
