Inspecting and adjusting a Knott trailer brake

Inspecting and adjusting a Knott trailer brake

https://www.towingandtrailers.com/

When adjusting a trailer brake it is always good practice to remove the drum, check the parts inside the brake are all working correctly and then adjust the brakes at the wheel.

Once this is done then adjust the brake rod to give the correct adjustment on the coupling.

This is a simple guide showing the adjustment that is done on a knott trailer wheel brake.

all this work needs to be carried out with the main brake rod either slackened off or removed.

It is good to remove the drum and inspect it before adjusting.

Not shown in the video also operate the expander to make sure it and the brake cables are working correctly.
