Place the spring and axle U-bolt plate onto the ends of
the two U-bolts just placed. Secure in place with 1/2”
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 loop of the springs around the bushings just
installed. Note that if the axle is positioned too low
when trying to hook, the loops 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. Secure in
place with 9/16” x 3-1/4” hex bolts and lock nuts.
Install another spring bracket bushing in the front hole
on the rock arm assemblies. Secure 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.
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 to either 6-8 ft. lb. or 72-96
in. lb. of torque.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN
Over tightening will cause the brass block to crack and
then leak. Place the other end of the hose up through
the hole provided in the brake line clip bracket. Secure
in place with the U-shaped hose clip provided.
Remove the plastic cap from the end of the frame
brake line coming 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 bracket.
Thread the brake line fitting into the brake line hose.
Tighten.
NOTE: The axle has brake fluid installed in the calipers
and the axle line when it is assembled at the factory.
This is done to protect the inner parts of the brake sys-
tem during shipping and storage. The complete brake
system including the axle MUST be re-bled to ensure
that all air has been removed from the brake system.
For bleeding instructions see the UFP brake bleeding
manual or the ShoreLand’r Disc Brake Manual.
Fill the actuator reservoir with brake fluid and bleed
the line per the instructions in the Brake Manual.
DUAL AXLE BRAKE INSTALLATION
If your trailer is equipped with dual axle brakes con-
nect the line to the axle as follows:
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 the brake hose male
end into the block and tighten to either 6-8 ft. lb. or 72-
96 in. lb. of torque.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN
Over tightening will cause the brass block to crack and
then leak.
Attach the brake hoses from the axles to the spring
bracket with the U-shaped hose clip. Once the brake
hoses are secured in place the lines can be attached.
Identify which brake line hose that the side frame
brake line tubing will be connected to. In a dual axle
installation it can connected to either one. When iden-
tified, locate the brass tee connector. Screw the male
port of the tee into the brake line hose. Tighten.
Next connect the side frame brake line into the top port
on the tee. Connect the two axles together using the
40” brake line supplied. Thread one end of the line into
the brass tee just installed. Route the line over to the
other axle, form a loop in the line and then connect the
other end into the brake line hose for the second axle.
Tighten to either 6-8 ft. lb. or 72-96 in. lb. of torque.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN
Over tightening will cause the brass block to crack and
then leak.
NOTE: The axles have brake fluid installed in the cali-
pers and the axle lines when they are assembled at
the factory. This is done to protect the inner parts of
the brake system during shipping and storage. The
complete brake system including the axle MUST be
re-bled to ensure that all air has been removed from
the brake system.
