Took my boat to Charleston last weekend (I move on July 3) to put it in the marina. Sometime on the trip something unseen on the road, I guess, snagged the brake line and snapped it from the left wheel. It was an overnight trip so I really didn't have time to inspect it fully. Hopefully I can use the hard line and just replace the rubber lines at the end of the hard line at the hub.
I guess my question is how in the world do I bleed the brake lines? Theres obviously no fluid in the cylinder because when I brake the actuater easily slides, there's just no back pressure to actuate the brakes. Anyone have a manual way of putting pressure on the actuater to bleed the brakes? My only thought was to chalk the trailer wheels real good and try to slowly ease the actuater back with the truck.
Anyone bled their trailer brakes?
