Brake Actuator Leaking Up Steep Driveway
Question:
I purchased this brake lockout with a new coupler and works fantastic except when I’m going in reverse up a steep hill my driveway it leaks a bit over the trailer frame. I have tighten it a few times but worry about over tightening it and stripping the threads. Please advise

It sounds like the Titan Zinc-Plated, Leverlock Brake Actuator - Disc - Adjustable Ball - 7,000 lbs T47154107K and Solenoid Valve for Titan Brake Actuators with Reverse Lockouts # T4748800 are working just fine except for when you are backing into a steep driveway and then it leaks? If that is the only time and it is leaking "a bit" then there is nothing I can see that should have you worried. It is likely the fluid is leaking because of the steep grade and there is nothing really to be done if you aren't seeing any other issues.
