ROCKER ARMS
Locate the rocker arms (Ref. No. 5 of Detail B, Diagram D). Note
that the center bushing has a grease zerk in it. Position the rocker
arms up into the center channel welded in the center of the tandem
spring bracket so that the grease zerk is pointing down. Align the
holes in the channel with the rocker arm. Secure in place with a
3/4” x 4-1/2” hex bolt and lock nut. Tighten. Repeat this process on
the other rocker arm and spring bracket. Grease the rocker at this
time by applying grease through the zerk just discussed.
NOTE: The grease zerk is positioned down so that it is
accesible for servicing when needed.
SPRINGS
Position the axles so they are properly aligned with the trailer. Posi-
tion the brake axle so that the disc brake calipers are on the back-
side of the axle. The brake axle must always be mounted as the rear
axle to give you the best braking possible. There is no right and left
to the axle without brakes. It can be mounted either way.
Place the springs on the topside of the spring pads welded to the
axle. (See chassis diagram). Note that the hook end of the spring
must be to the rear of the trailer. Place a spring clamp on the top cen-
ter 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. Secure with /2” lock nuts. Thread onto the U-bolts but do not
tighten securely until the complete 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 rear 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 rear hole in
the axle boogie just installed. Attach with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts
and lock nuts.
Next install another spring bracket bushing in the front hole on the
rock arm assembly. Attach with a 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolt and lock
nut. Tighten.
Hook the hook end of the springs mounted to the front axle over
the bushing just installed in the rocker arm assembly. Then swing
the front of the spring up and attach the front mounting hole in the
spring bracket with another 9/16” x 3 -1/4” hex bolt and lock nut.
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 cali-
per. 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. (Item No. 63.)
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame brake line tubing
coming out of the side frame exit hole. 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.
ATTACHING AXLE HOSE TO SPRING PLATE
It is important that the brake hose on each end of the axle be at-
tached to the spring plate to eliminate the loops that are formed in
the hose when it is attached to the calipers. Doing so will eliminate
the possibility of the hose getting caught or damaged while tow-
ing.
Locate one of the hose clamps. Spread open the clamp so it can be
slipped around the hose in the loop that is formed under the spring
as it is routed to the caliper. Once in position, squeeze the clamp
back together.
Raise the hose clamp and the loop up until the hose clamp is on top
of the spring bracket raising the loop up so it is on the back side of
the axle. Align the hole in the clamp with the hole in the rear of the
spring bracket between the two U-bolts.
Place a No. 10 flat washer on a No. 10 x 1” machine bolt. Insert the
bolt into the clamp, then down through the spring bracket. Place
on another No. 10 flat washer and secure with a No. 10 hex nut.
Tighten.
Repeat this process on the other loop on the other end of the axle.

FRAME BRAKE LINE
Place the rubber grommet around the brake hose and insert it
into the hole in the brake hose mounting bracket. The grommet
will protect the hose from abrasion as well as retain it from slid-
ing down while being towed. Enough slack should be left in the
brake hose from the hose mounting clamp and the axle to allow the
axle to move freely without the hose rubbing on the spring or any
other steel part. All additional hose above the brake hose mounting
clamp and the side frame hole can be pushed back into the side
frame for protection from the elements.
In the event that the axle position is at some distance from the hole
in the side frame where the brake hose is routed from, two addi-
tional hose mounting clamps and self-tapping screws are provided
to attach the brake hose to the inside of the side frame. Bend the
hose mounting clamps open far enough so the hose can be slid in-
side the clamp. Once the hose is inside, bend the clamps back shut
so it forms around the brake hose. Position the two clamps on the
inside of the side frame spaced so there is an equal distance be-
tween the hole where the brake hose comes out of the side frame
and the brake hose mounting clamp. Using the self-tapping screws,
drill them into the side frame to secure the clamps in place. Tighten
until the screws are fully in. This will grip the brake hose and keep
it from moving.
All bleeding to the line is to be done through the bleeders on the
calipers.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed the line per the
instructions in the brake manual.
