• Replacement Brakes and Master Cylinder for 2007 Load Rite Tandem Cat Trailer
  To pick out the correct brake kit and rotors to fit your trailer we will first need to know a couple of important pieces of information. You will need to know your wheel bolt pattern on your trailer. I have attached a helpful article that explains how this is measured. Second, you will need to know what spindles you have on your trailer so that we can pick out the correct hub drums that will fit.

• Is Brass Metering Adapter Needed w/Replacement Master Cylinder for Model 10/20 Disc Brakes
  The difference between a disc brake master cylinder and a drum brake master cylinder is a small check valve that is inside of a drum master cylinder but not present in a disc one. Disc brakes require more pressure than drum brakes so there is no check valve and the line should be connected directly to the back of the master cylinder. You should not need the adapter you have anymore.

• Replacement Master Cylinder or Coupler for Old Rental Trailer
  For the most part, master cylinders for hydraulic brake actuators are model specific. Is there any indication on the hydraulic coupler what the manufacturer and model number of the actuator is? Without that information, I really wouldn't be able to make a recommendation for a replacement master cylinder. Hydraulic trailer brakes typically use 3/16 inch brake lines. You shouldn't need to replumb the lines if they're in good shape, but if you can't identify the manufacturer of the actuator,...

• How to Tell Difference Between Titan Model 20 Drum and Disc Actuator
  Look at the side of the master cylinder and you'll be able to tell which type of brakes it is designed for by the number. If you see 23744 stamped into the side of it you have a drum brake model. If you have 25744 stamped in the side it's for disc brakes. Also you can easily change either style to the other by swapping out the master cylinder. For a drum brake application you'd want the part # T2374400 or for disc part # T4747100.

• Can a Disc Brake Master Cylinder be Used with Drum Brakes on a Trailer
  You would not want to use a disc brake master cylinder with drum brakes because the psi rating is much higher for disc brakes. Using it on drum brakes can lead to damage to the wheel cylinders and very aggressive braking. The master cylinder for the drum brakes is # T2374400. Drum brake master cylinders have a check valve on the inside that regulates the psi going through the brake lines. This is not something that you can add to the disc brake master cylinder. You would either have to...

• How to Tell if you Have the Titan # T2374400 or the # T4747100
  I pulled both the # T2374400 and the # T4747100 that you referenced to check out and found a way for you to determine which you have. You will need to remove the red plug from the end opposite of the plunger and look down into that hole. If you see what looks like a flat gray disc you have the disc brake master cylinder part # T4747100 . If what you see is a concave metal piece with medium size holes then you are looking at the check valve and you have the drum brake version.

• Troubleshooting Titan Surge Disc Brake Actuator
  It could be that your reverse lockout solenoid needs replacement. Part # T4748800 is the replacement part.

If not you will want to replace it with part # T4747100 which fits the model 10 disc actuator. For the same...

• Are Brake Actuating Coupler Master Cylinders Universal Fit?
  For a surge brake actuator, the master cylinders are not universal fit. There are different styles and there are different psi levels for disc brakes versus drum brakes. For instance the Master Cylinder for Titan Actuators - Disc Brakes # T4747100 cannot work in place of the Demco Actuator Replacement Master Cylinder for Drum Brakes # 5650 simply because it won't fit the mounting correctly or hold the same brake pressure. If the mounting locations and the pressure were ideal, then you...
