Surge Brake Actuator Recommendation for Use with Assemblies 18788/18787
Question:
I recently purchased 18788/18787 Demco Hydraulic brake assemblies. Now I need to replace the brake actuator? Is there a best brake actuator to go with them? Are 18788 and 18787 free backing? I have a single axle trailer with a 2" hitch ball. Thanks for your assistance.

Expert Reply:
The brake assemblies # 18788 and # 18787 are not free-backing. For picking out an actuator the part # 8605001 would work well as it has more capacity than you'd need, is for drum brakes, and is for a 2 inch hitch ball.
