Dangit, I snagged my trailer brake cable on the hitch. The cable was attached to my main safety cable. It got looped on the step plate of my hitch and when I pulled away, snap! The cable snapped at ferrule near the end of the cable where it connects to the truck.
The grommet pulled out, but the covered portion of the cable is still inside the tongue front.
However, I can roll the boat by hand.
I checked the fluid, it's fine.
Specifically, the breakaway tongue of this trailer has a metal shield welded on the underside of the tongue. I don't have open access to the internals without sliding the whole setup one way or another.
One consideration is just to put a new end on it, replace the grommet and keep moving.
The second consideration involves the question of how to I get the UFP actuator out? Is there enough slack in the hydraulic line for it to pull out of the front of the tongue enough to do any work? Or must it come out of the back of the tongue. Not matter, it seems like a real PIA.
Seeking advice. Thanks.
