• How to Bleed Brakes With Dexter Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator
  The Dexter Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator # T47457007K does not have an access hole to insert a screwdriver to bleed the master cylinder. You will have to use the old method with a 2x4 and the safety chains. While the trailer is disconnected from the vehicle, hook the trailer safety chains together to form a loop centered below the coupler. Place a sturdy board, like a 2x4, through the safety chain loop. The safety chain loop will help give you the leverage you need to collapse the actuator....

• Disc Brake Replacement for Atwood Drum Brake Actuator 82543
  The Atwood Drum Brake Actuator 82543 is discontinued and no longer avavailbe. If you want to switch to disc brakes you will need a complete new actuator, you can't just swap out internal parts even if they were avavailbe (they are not). For replacement, I recommend the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator part # T47457007K which fits the same size frame, hitch ball, and has a 7,000 lb weight capacity.

• Is There an Actuator For 2 Inch Wide Channel/Frame
  Trailer surge brake actuators aren't something that are made for 2 inch channels/frames, I'm sorry to say. So what you would have to do is have spacers welded on your frame to widen it to use an actuator for a 3 inch tongue like the Dexter Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator - Disc # T47457007K or Drum # T43397007K. I know it's not the easiest solution in the world but for that size frame it's really the only available option.

• Can I Use The Same Surge Actuator When Switching From Drum to Disc Brakes On Boat Trailer?
  Disc brakes require a higher pressure than drum brakes and will require you to use a Surge Actuator # T47457007K designed for disc brakes. You will also want to use a Reverse Lockout # T4748800 if you do not already have one on your trailer. This will prevent the brakes from activating when driving in reverse. Drum brakes had the option of free backing preventing them from activating in reverse which is not an option like on disc brakes. If you can tell me what brakes and axle your trailer...

• Replacement Surge Brake Actuator For Discontinued Atwood 85736 Drum Brakes
  I recommend using the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM72VR to replace your Atwood 85736 surge brake actuator.

• Parts Needed To Convert Titan Model 60 Drum Brake Actuator To Work On Disc Brakes
  To convert your Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator - Drum # T43397007K to Disc # T47457007K you will need to change out the Master Cylinder Assembly # T4820000. If you do not already have a Reverse Lockout Solenoid # T4748800 you will want to add that as well since there are no free backing disc trailer brakes. A Solenoid Shield # T4835800183 will protect the solenoid if you do not have one. Using a disc brake kit like the Kodiak # K2R35S will reduce rusting as the rotors and calipers...

• Parts Needed to Convert Trailer to Surge Disc with Welded on Atwood Actuator and 3,500 lb Axles
  Since your current Atwood surge drum actuator is welded to your trailer frame what you'll need to do is take the trailer to a welder who can cut the welds and remove what you have now and in place install a weld on coupler designed for disc brakes like the part # DX63FR. Since the diameter of your brake drum is 10 inch that means you have a 3,500 lb trailer axle so for a disc brake kit to replace that you'd just need the # K2R35DKG.
