Trail king brakes

I ended up working on a 3 axle super tilt trailer that originally came in for hubs to be serviced. Upon inspection the brake shoes and drums were very worn and needed to be replaced. Usually the entire backing plate is replaced because it's usually cheaper in the long run. My coworker did the bearings for the new hubs and the backing plates. It's just five bolts that hold it on to the axle. They're magnetic brakes so all of the wiring had to be spliced. Instead of trying to solder the wires and get the copper to tin with the solder I just used connectors with solder built in. It's much faster and a lot less hassle using them instead of solder and heat shrink. 

There was a pin for the leaf spring that was no longer taking grease and the press fit zerk fitting snapped in the process. I ended up drilling out the fitting and tapping a new hole for a different fitting to be used. I blew out all the metal pieces with an air blower, installed the fitting, and made it take grease with an air powered grease gun. Otherwise it was take the pin out which is not something I wanted to do if I could avoid it. The trick was taking my time and getting the tap perfectly straight for nice threads because if I made a mistake then I was hosed.

After that it was install the drums, put the tires back on with a bar, and torque the lug nuts.
