    Dumb Question Trailer brakes

    I have an ez-loader single axle trailer. I don't know if I have brakes on it or not.

    I don't put many miles on it and have liqua-lube bearings on it, have never had to pull the wheels off.

    Big, boxy tongue on the trailer with a fill port for brake fluid if you have brakes.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​

    Unplug your trailer and try to back up a hill. If it stops, you have brakes. If not you will either have to bleed the brakes or you don't have any installed. Most all brake systems have a breakaway cable installed in case you lose the trailer. If you have a small cable to attach with an S hook, you have a brake system.
