Drum Brake Shoe Removal and Installation on a Trailer

[nerdlinger2]

A great help!

I just bought a trailer I needed this info.

My electric brakes were cut and wondering if you have a video on proper wiring, testing of electric brakes?

I don't see any wires in my 7 wire sheeth resembling the pair that come out of the drum

Thank you. I was pulling out my remaining hair trying to reinstall the return spring until I saw your method. I and my hair thank you!

I used a brake shoe return spring removal tool on the return spings on the top. I used a brake shoe retaining spring removal tool to remove the retaining springs on each side. They are available as a set with a few other brake tools, or individually.

what was the slotted socket looking tool that you used to remove the springs called?
