Hi Joshua; you can respond to the email that had the link for this page if you want to send me the video. It does sound like it is the actuator, could be the shock in there or the master cylinder. It would also be worth checking to see if the brake fluid is low.
For a replacement you can use the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX83FR for drum or # DX56FR for disc brakes. Both are designed for a 3" x 5" tongue. For a 3" x 4" tongue use # DX27FR for drum or # DX29FR for disc. If you want to replace parts then the # TK71-758-00 is the shock and for the master cylinder you can use # T4395100 for drum or # DX44FR for disc brakes.
