My
electric trailer brakes are auto adjust in the forward mode. I
installed new hubs and wanted to make sure the brakes were adjusted
before I hit the road. Had to come up with a way to get the wheel
spinning, then lock it up a few times so the adjusters could do their
thing. The brakes can be adjusted manually, but unlike the regular star wheel
adjusters, these are extremely hard to back off without getting under
the trailer.
The parts are all available at your local hardware store in the plumbing dept.
If you use a standard 3/8" drill...the load will make it heat up during the first go-round. I employed the drill motor that I use for my trailer jack after smoking my 3/8" model.
