Last night after a HOT day at work I was torn between sitting in the A/C or working outside. I decided NOT to mow grass as I was alone. I worked on my trailer project. I need to get it completed and get it up to the vehicle enhancement shop so I can get a title for it. I reassembled the hitch after cleaning and greasing all the moving parts and pins.
The bent-up master cylinder cover looks great. I really like salvaging parts and reusing them. Anyone can use new parts. This is not a new trailer, and it will not require new parts.
I secured and sealed all the connections at the junction box for the wiring. I added a new Grote 4 wire pigtail to run up to the 7-pin/prong/spade round trailer connector. I prefer the 7 pins over the flat 4 even with 4 wires. It holds up longer and stays tight in the plug.
Then I was onto bleeding the brakes. Let me tell you the mity vac is a waste of time. I used it many times, but I choose the ratchet strap.
It worked best. Make it tight and bleed. Loosen the strap pull the hitch back out and tighten the strap again. I was able to bleed all the old green/yellow fluid out and get the new fresh air free purple fluid out the bleeders.
I refilled the master cylinder, and that job was completed.
I was on a roll. Just me and my XM radio on channel 313 Rock Bar and I was tearing it up. I jacked up the trailer and put the new tires and wheels on. Looks great.
I will be getting this to the garage for enhancement. Take Care and have a great weekend. I am going to make progress on many things over the weekend. Most no reportable but non the less progress.
