How To Remove Master Cylinder Cap On Titan Zinc-Plated Actuator T4750620

Question

Question:

I have this actuator on my newly purchased 2012 Venture VATB 7225 boat trailer and cannot remove the plastic cap to check the brake fluid. Any ideas? Not sure if the actuator is working or not but would rather not replace it if I don’t have to. Thanks

On your Titan Zinc-Plated Brake Actuator w/ Drop, Electric Lockout - Disc - 2-5/16" Ball # T4750620 you will need to pop out the cylinder cover and then unscrew the cap on the master cylinder. If it is a bit tight you may need to get a pair of pliers down there to give you extra leverage, but be careful to not damage the cap.

I included a video of the # T4750620 for you to take a look at.

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…

Typically 4-way wiring consists of 18 and 16 gauge wires. For a 4-way that has all 16 gauge wire you would want the Wesbar 4-Pole Flat Connector #W787264. The part #HM38138 uses 18 gauge for all wires but the white that uses 16 gauge.

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
