How to test the trailer brakes without a TV?
I came across information last night about trailer brakes being weak and full of grease. How common is this issue? How would we test for this, since we don't have a TV yet? Thanks for your he...

Thanks everyone!! Please tell where the emergency/break-away pin might be located...
The emergency break away pin should be near the trailer ball receiver. It is on the wire or cable that you should be attaching to the TV. If the trailer separates from the TV this cable should pull out and apply full breaking power to the trailer.
Oh...so there is this one cable to test all of the 4 brakes? Can we just jack up the whole trailer to test all four of them more quickly, or do we have to jack up one at a time only?
