Alright, today on This Old Trailer, what we are going to do is install electric brakes. Right now this trailer does not have any brakes on it whatsoever, so it has two drag axles. So the first thing that we need to do is go ahead and take off the rear wheels. And then we will go ahead and take off the hubs. At this point we will take off the dust cap on our axle. And basically what you want to do is on this particular unit we have an EZ Lube cap, so it fits kind of tight. It is a good idea to go ahead and rotate the hub and lightly strike it and then I will just back it off with a ***** driver behind the flange. And then pry it off. Alright, let us wipe off the excess grease on the end of the spindle here and we will get to our tang washer. And we will release it so we can back off the castle nut. Alright, we have it cleaned up a little bit. Now right here, this is the tab I was talking about. That is our tang washer. Take this. Push it down flat to the flat spot on our spindle and then you can take the castle nut off. 1:07 Alright, at this point we can go ahead and just remove the entire hub assembly. Alright, now we can go ahead and clean up the spindle so we can have a nice clean area to work with. And then we will start reassembly. Alright, now that we have everything out of the way we can see what is going on. What is going to …

In this addition of This Old Trailer we are going to wire up the lights on this trailer. Previously we had hooked up electric brakes and you can see, right now we have the junction box installed on there and we have wires ran for electric brakes. We have nothing for the actual tail lights themselves. That is what we are going to start on today. :30 We are going to hook up our 7-pole wiring harness with the molded connector, and we are going to hook that up to our junction box that we I installed on the frame. Inside the junction box the colors are labeled, so we will match the wires from the connector color for color with the junction box. :46 Now what we are going to do next is hook up our wires from the trailer into the junction box itself. Now there are some differences in the code, this is where you go by function not colors of the wire. Yellow is going to be the left turn on the trailer, and it is going to be red on our junction box. Right turn is going to be green on our trailer and that is going to brown on our junction box. Brown is going to be running lights on our trailer and that is going to go with green on our junction box. Now we can go ahead and secure all our connections with the hardware. All right, lets go ahead and run the wires down through the frame, back towards the tail lights. We will use the preexisting holes in …

A few **** connectors are in there to use for any wire connections. Speaking of wiring, it comes with a universal wiring harness that will plug into the back of the brake controller then you run your lines to the various circuits in the vehicle. Also to help you out it comes with a little informational DVD. What we will show you next is the actual pocket that you can install on the vehicle, it actually mounts up like this. The brake control simply just slides inside. Spread the little clips out a little bit and it goes into the ***** holes and that pretty much holds everything in place. On the backside here is where the harness plugs into. It is pretty simple. Slip it underneath the holder and you just push it together and it snaps in place. So in other words, if your are going …
