Question:
So what auto adjusting brakes do I order?
asked by: Jim N
Expert Reply:
Either they somehow got grease on your brakes and they aren't working because of that or the brakes are way out of adjustment. Are the brakes manual adjust or self -adjust? If they are self adjust they should start working again after a several brake applications while moving.
If they are manual adjust you'd want to click the star wheel of the assemblies until you feel a light drag as you turn the wheel by hand.
Either way though I'd recommend speaking with the shop you had work on the trailer.
