I knock the darn seal in too far on the first rotor. What a knuckle head I am.

I normally wouldn't bother with brakes myself but towing close to 3k miles to FL and back to MA it's probably a good idea. I don't want to be saying I should have done this or that. All new brakes,actuator,lines,rim, tires and lights. No need to ruin a vacation.

bgreene,
Did you use a mity vac to bleed your brakes on your trailer?
I'm thinking that might be the easiest way to bleed the brakes.

I used the mity vac to bleed the brakes on a truck with ABS and it worked well.
Easier then have a friend come down with the scan tool to cycle all the ABS valves etc.

Cancel that.
Karen helped me and I got the brakes done with her help.

Down to installing a fuel management system for the Garmin 740 and I'm pretty much ready to trailer to FL.

When I installed my brakes I used a Miti-Vac to bleed mine. Worked great.
