Should All Brake Assemblies be Bled if Only One Isn't Activating
Question:
Hello, I recently put new hubs, bearings, rotors, brakes, and brake lines to my magic tilt boat trailer. I noticed after I drove about 50miles when I stopped to check everything over my passenger rear tire rotor looked brand new still the other 3 had wear from the brakes being applied. I’m assuming it’s just air in the line my question is when I go to bleed the system do I bleed just the rotor that did not grab or do I have to bleed the entire system again?

I would first try bleeding the one assembly that is not braking at this time and if that seems like it fixes the problem you could leave it at that but if not then you'd want to bleed all of the assemblies.
