SPRINGS
Position the axle so it is properly aligned with the trailer. The end
of the axle that has the brake line hose attached must be to the
right side of the trailer when standing at the rear of the trailer and
looking forward. This positioning places the disc brake calipers on
the backside of the axle.
Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads welded to the
axle. (See Diagram D). Note that the hook end of the spring must
be mounted to the rear of the trailer. Place a spring clamp on the
top center of the spring as shown. Next place the 1/2” x 6-1/2”
U-bolts down over the top of the spring clamp, spring and axle as
shown.
Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of the two
U-bolts just placed around the axle. Secure with 1/2” lock nuts.
Thread onto the U-bolts but do not tighten securely until the com-
plete unit is in position on the trailer. Repeat on the other spring.
AXLE
Place one of the spring bracket bushings into the rear of the spring
bracket and secure with a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and hex lock nut.
Repeat in other spring bracket.
Position the axle under the frame, then hook the hook loop of the
spring around the bushings just installed. Note that if the axle is
positioned too low when trying to hook, the hooks will not hook
around the bushings.
Raise the front of the springs up so they align with the front hole
of the spring bracket. Secure in place with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts
and lock nuts.
Tighten all axle U-bolts and spring bolts not tightened at this time.
ONE AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
Cut the tape securing the brake line hose to the axle. Remove
the brass plug from the port in the brass block on the right brake
caliper. Thread in the brake hose male end and tighten. Place the
other end of the hose up through the hole provided in the brake line
clip bracket. Secure in place with the hose clip provided.
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line com-
ing out of the side frame by the axle. Carefully uncoil the brake
line so that it will reach the end of the hose just attached to the
brake line clip bracket. Thread the brake line fitting into the brake
line hose. Tighten. All bleeding to the line can be done through the
bleeder on the right caliper.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed the line per the
instructions in the brake manual. Note that the axle is already bled
at the factory during assembly. All bleeding to the line can be done
through the bleeder on the right caliper.
TIRE & WHEEL ASSEMBLIES
Mount the tire and wheel assemblies using the 1/2” fine threaded
tapered lug nuts provided. Tighten to 80-90 ft/lb. of torque using the
rotation pattern as shown in the ShoreLandr’s Owners Manual.
Re-torque the lug nuts after 50 miles of driving and then periodi-
cally thereafter.
