    bleeding trailer brakes

    What is the easiest way to bleed disc brakes on a trailer. The trailer is a Marine Master 06 model. Holds a Triton 20X2. Had a breakdown where the entire rear axle and brakes had to be replaced. Still air in the lines. Please help. Thanks.

    You do not need to activate the solenoid when priming......Steve, you may want to post this.......PRIMING YOUR MASTER CYLINDER........
    Place the master cylinder in a vice so you can see the back of the piston, you can do this with the solenoid attached if you have one , ....fill the reservoir with fluid...stick a phillips screwdriver in the back of the piston....push the piston all the way forward and hold there.....place your index finger tightly over the outlet on the other side of the master cylinder, or solenoid if it is attached......let the piston retract.....watch the fluid level...it should go down...this will tell you the fluid is going into the bore of the master cylinder........repeat the process 2 or 3 times..... now the fluid should squirt out when you push the piston forward ....place a plug into the outlet and reinstall the actuator and bleed....
