Replacement Disc Brake Actuator Recommendation for Atwood Coupler
Question:
I have a Atwood actuator for Disc brakes. I think they are no Longer in business. I can’t find a kit to rebuild the actuator and it is wielded on my trailer. Is there any company that I can get a kit from to rebuild it or am I out of luck and need to have this one cut off and replaced?

Atwood actuators are no longer made and what you'll need to do is have yours removed and a better one installed in it's place. Nearly every time we get a question about troubleshooting an actuator or needing replacement parts it's an Atwood in question so going to a different setup will long term be your best option.
For a Dexter actuator for disc brakes we have the part # 099-175-20 which would be a great option.
