TT brakes maintenance

I use a bottle jack and cribbing to do one side at a time with jackstands. In this pic there are also jackstands under the axle because I was replacing the shackle bushings and equalizers.



If you going to pull the wheel and check the brakes, it's smart to re-grease the wheel bearings and also check the shacles and suspension parts. Many/most OEMs use very cheap components that wear out quickly.

It just means you will have to do the same thing four times instead of two and you will need to get the tow vehicle involved. I use a bottle jack and two jackstands and have plenty of room to adjust when the wheels are off. A cement block with a 2x on it brings the jack way up.

"Just drive one wheel up on blocks."

Absolutely the easiest and safest way.

That is a good way to adjust the brakes. You can easily get at adjuster, when nothing is in the way. IMO, it will not be too much wt on one axle! I've used my TA plus for this on several trailers, including my FW.

You'll be fine. That's how trailer owners install the spare when we get a flat. No need for a jack. Just drive one wheel up on blocks.
