self adjusting brake problem
This is posted for a friend, he has a white cargo trailer. I don't know the brand or axle.
I have Electric, self adjusting, brake assemblies. I always shoot my hubs at the bearing location at any stop I make. I use one of those inexpensive IR Laser Temperature guns for this purpose.
Long story short I found the self adjusting brake on that hot wheel was so tight that I could not revolve the wheel by hand when jacked up.
These brake assemblies have been on for some time without any problems. All set, and setup working for many miles. I inspected the other 3 assemblies and the pads are all set normal with plenty of pad left.
Does anyone have a clue what might cause one of these to tighten down so much? The old one, parts wise, and installation wise, appeared to be fine, other than the fact the pads were worn and over heated.
