    Adding Swing tounge, Surge Brake question

    I have a Marine Master trailer and I am changing it to a swing toungue. I have disassembled the entire tounge wiring, surge brake reservoir, and cut off the tounge and had a certified welder weld on the components for the swing toungue I received from Marine Master, also disconnected the brake line where it connects to the actuator.
    Question is when I connect the brake line back to the actuator is there anything special I need to do (Bleed, add Fluid, Etc.) or can I just connect it back up and go?? When I disconnected it, no fluid leaked out from the line, I assumed the Actuator was blocking the fluid flow at that time because no pressure was put on the surge piston also no power was being supplied to the actuator either.

    I would bleed them just to make sure you didn't introduce any air in the system.

    you'll probably need to bleed the brakes as you'll have to add a brake hose to extend the brake line when you swing the tongue.
