well, the surge brakes on my 94 Javelin's trailer were leaking, so today i took the tongue apart.
This is what i found. First of all, i got this small gas strut, which seems stuck in the CLOSED position. I pulled it and it deployed, but it stays at whatever position i put it. It is as hard to pull as it is to push. And, i didnt see where the smaller hole connects. I took all the tongue apart and i cant seem to find a place for it. I even think it was only connected on the bigger hole with one of the pins.

And, this is how the tongue looks from the underside:

So, i saw the pump was leaking from the front. The rear connectors and hoses looked clean. I took the pump apart, and fortunately i could find locally a kit with the seals, piston, and spring. I have yet to reassemble the pump with the new kit, and then put it in the trailer. I hope this is all it takes.
Now, which fluid do I need??
And, where is the small strut supposed to go?
Thank you
