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 cali-
per. Thread in the brake hose male end and tighten to 6-8 ft. lb. or
else 72-96 in. lb. of torque. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Over tight-
ening 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 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 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 system during shipping and
