I was kinda thrown on seeing Eaton ES brakes on a trailer but I guess anything is possible. Anything worth doing is worth doing well!! | ||

Found that when a Q plus shoe was installed on the s-cam the return spring was loose and away from the lower pin. I belive the trailer was a 99-2000. MasterTech_TA022  | ||
