Since Atwood went out of business none of their actuator (or other product) replacement parts are available unfortunately, so your only real option to having a working actuator is to replace the entire unit. I am attaching a link to our selection of…

Brake Actuator: The Heart of Your Trailer's Braking System
Brake actuators are essential for converting your trailer's braking signals into hydraulic pressure, ensuring smooth and effective stopping power. Whether you're upgrading from drum to disc brakes or replacing an obsolete unit, choosing the right actuator
Many enthusiasts find installing a brake actuator straightforward, especially with models designed for easy installation. However, if you're not comfortable with mechanical work, consulting a professional is advisable to ensure safety and proper function.
Consider the type of brakes (disc or drum) and the weight of your trailer. Ensure compatibility with your towing vehicle and check if any modifications are needed for installation. Some actuators, like the UFP-A60, are popular for replacing obsolete models and offer smooth installation.
Wiring can vary by model, but typically involves connecting color-coded wires to your trailer's system. If you're unsure, consult the actuator's manual or seek advice from a professional. Proper wiring is crucial for the actuator's performance and safety.
Hydraulic actuators provide more consistent and powerful braking compared to surge systems. They eliminate the 'banging' effect during towing and offer better control, especially in emergency stops. This upgrade is ideal for those converting from drum to disc brakes.
If the mounting holes don't align, you might need to make minor adjustments or use additional hardware. Some users have successfully modified their setups by shortening components or adding support bars. Always ensure any modifications maintain the integrity and safety of the braking system.
