Those of you who have
UHaul VT trailers: When you do periodic maintenance on your surge
brakes on the VT, how do you activate the surge brake actuator (piston) to bleed the
brakes? Do you do this with the large top lever/cover pushed down flat or standing upright? The directions given for other surge
brakes indicate using a large screwdriver inserted in a hole in front of the brake piston. There is no such access place on the
UHaul model. One other suggestion was to put a large 2x4 or pipe on the front of the hitch anchored with a chain and used as a pivot to work the piston. Anybody done this?
We are just getting our surge brakes to work and I would like to find the best way to do this bleeding task.
Thanks!
