We happen to have a video on the proper procedure for bleeding trailer brakes and I have attached it for.
As for the Titan Brake Actuator, part # T63FR, this was designed for bolt-on installation. In the event that you would ever have to access the innards, a bolt-on application makes this much easier.
If you should still choose to weld the actuator to the trailer tongue, I recommend welding along the
entire length of the actuator where it touches the trailer frame. I have included a snapshot of Atwood's welding instructions as well as a link to the complete installation instructions for you.
