Rebuilding Electric over hydraulic brake calipers - trigg A200

 

Hey folks, just thought I'd make a video about reconditioning brakes on an electric over hydraulic trailer.  The calipers I have are Trigg A200.  I decided to learn how to do it myself after going to a brake shop once and they just threw out my old calipers and replaced them.  After receiving that bill I vowed to do it myself....  The calipers I have now are 10 years old.  They'll last forever if you just give them a rebuild every 12 months or so.  

Anyway, video below.  No ads, no sponsorship, happy to hear any feedback.

 If you've got the same calipers one thing I forgot to mention was to make sure you clean the hole in the bleed screw before re-assembly.  They get blocked with gunk.
