• Tips For Removing Stuck Master Cylinder Cap On A Dexter T4750820 Actuator
  Sometimes dust and dirt can get down in the threads of the master cylinder cap and they can get stuck on there real good. Unfortunately there is not really a trick to getting it off, other than using force. A little WD40 may help but I would use that as sparingly as possible. If you have no choice but to break the cap, it can be replaced with part # T4830601.

• Replacement Surge Brake Actuator and Calipers for 2001 Four Winns Boat Trailer
  The direct replacement for your Titan Model 6 4079200 is the # T4079200. However, you have disc brakes on your trailer, not drum brakes. For a replacement designed for drum brakes you can use the # T4750820 which is the Model 10 and replaced the Titan 4750820. This has a 12,500 lb capacity and also fits a 3" channel. For replacement calipers you will need to know the axle capacity as well as the brand. For example, if you have 3,500 lb axles with Kodiak brakes you can use the # KDBC225DAC....

• Replacement Titan Brake Actuator for Titan 3241639
  We've checked the part number you gave us before and the replacement for it is the part # T4750820 which is for disc brakes. This one does come with a reverse lock out solenoid. If it has rust all over it I'd consider just replacing the entire thing and starting over with everything new. If you can get me the capacity of your axles and the bolt patterns I can help you pick out stainless steel brake components that won't rust as well.

• Will the Titan T4750820 Actuator Replace Global Direct Components GDC-120 Without Drilling New Holes
  Since the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator # T4750820 that you referenced has a weight capacity of 12,500 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 1,250 lbs it will serve well as a replacement actuator for your application. The mounting holes are spaced differently than what you show which means you will need to drill new holes into your trailer tongue. Your mounting holes are spaced in a straight line where the mounting holes for the Titan actuator form more of an arc. Instead of the Actuator...

• Are Replacement Parts for the GDC-100 Available
  I may have a solution for you, but we don't have replacement parts for a GDC-100 actuator. It looks like the GDC-100 is a heavier duty actuator designed to work with disc brakes, so the # T4750820 would be a good option to use as a replacement. This is a higher capacity disc brake actuator with an electric lock out, so it's ideal for a boat trailer that has disc brakes..

• Replacing a GDC100 Surge Brake Actuator
  I was unable to find much information about the Global Direct GDC100, but that doesn't mean we don't have anything available for you. The Titan Brake Actuator # T4747220 is rated to 8,000 pounds and has electric lockout. The Titan # T4750820 is much the same, but it is rated up to 12,500 pounds if more capacity is needed.

• How to Install the Backup Solenoid on Titan Disc Brake Actuators
  The Fitting in the back of your actuator, # T4750820, will need to be removed to install the Solenoid Valve for Titan Brake Actuators, # T4748800. I have posted a photo showing this fitting. Once the fitting is removed you will install the solenoid valve directly into the back of the master cylinder, see second photo, then attach the brake line from the trailer directly to the solenoid. The fitting that was removed will not be needed.

• Complete Disk Surge Brake Setup Recommendation for a Rogue Tandem Axle Boat Trailer
  We have everything you need, just not in one kit. For a disk brake kit that will bolt up to your 4 bolt brake flanges and will slip over your 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you would want the part # K2R35D for a dacromet finish. Or if your trailer will see salt water I would recommend the stainless steel kit part # K2R35S. You will need a quantity of two of these kits for both axles. For a brake line kit you will need the part # DM5425. And then for a surge brake actuator you would want...

• How to Identify Correct Replacement Brake Actuator Coupler for Triple Axle Boat Trailer
  You can easily see whether you have drum or disc brakes on your triple-axle boat trailer by simply removing one wheel. You will then see either a hub/drum assembly like # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K if you have drum brakes or a hub/rotor assembly and a brake caliper like those in kit # K2HR526D if you have disc brakes. You'll need to select a replacement actuator of the appropriate type to match the brakes on the trailer. We offer both drum and disc brake actuator couplers. These have different operating...

• How Does an Electric Reverse Lockout Solenoid on a Titan Coupler Get Wired
  On the reverse lockout solenoid on Titan coupler # T4750820, one wire will need to be grounded to the trailer frame. The other wire needs to connect to the reverse light circuit on the trailer side connector. When the vehicle is placed in reverse it powers the solenoid and will not let fluid back to the brakes allowing you to back the trailer without the brakes engaging.

• Troubleshooting Electric Reverse Lockout on Titan Model 10 Coupler
  The Titan Model 10 Actuator # T4750820 uses an electric reverse lockout that relies on the signal from the vehicle's reverse light circuit. That signal engages the lockout solenoid that prevents the actuator from compressing (and engaging the brakes) when you back up. If your vehicle's trailer connector has damage to its reverse light signal wire this would cause the brakes to remain engaged. You can refer to the linked photo of a 7-way vehicle socket to note that the center pin is usually...

• Recommended Surge Brake Actuator for Tandem Axle Boat Trailer
  A surge brake actuator will need to be based off of the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the trailer with the boat loaded. As long as the boat and trailer do not weigh more than 12,500 lbs I recommend using the Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator part # T4750820. The Titan actuator will bolt onto a 3" wide straight tongue trailer, fits a 2-5/16" hitch ball, and has an electric reverse lockout solenoid. The actuator has a zinc plating for corrosion resistance as well as an integrated...

• Troubleshooting a Leaking Reverse Lock Out Solenoid
  Over tightening the fitting can cause it to never seal again properly. Your best option would be to make sure you have the line perfectly square in the fitting as you tighten it. Flexible line will have to be used. I attached an install video for the Solenoid part # T4748800.

• Is Titan 10,000 Pound Brake Actuator Compatible with Kodiak Stainless Steel Disc Brakes
  For your brake actuator to be compatible with your Kodiak stainless steel brakes, the actuator will need to be a disc brake actuator. Kodiak only makes disc brakes. If your actuator is a drum brake actuator, not a disc brake actuator, it will not be compatible with the Kodiak disc brakes. If your Titan actuator is made for disc brakes, it will work well with your Kodiak brakes. The Replacement Master Cylinder Assembly # T4749501042 is only compatible with Titan Model 10 and Model 20 disc...

• Recommended Disc Brake Kit for 10,000lb Pontoon Trailer with 3,500lb Triple Axles with Drum Brakes
  Sounds like you want to change from drum brakes to disc brakes on your Pontoon trailer with 3 Rockwell TA-35 torsion axles. If this is correct then yes, it is possible, and I can help! The 2/rcmhs-8 you were looking at is part # K2HR35D-8. It has a Dacroment finish for longer durability, is listed to work with the 10 inch wheels and has a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. Since you have a triple axle you will need 3 sets. It does include the races needed but will need both the bearings inner...
