so i swapped the master cylinder and switched to disc brakes on the skeeter trailer last night but cant get fluid through the lines. UGH!!! need to take it to a trailer place to get it sorted out at this point.

recommendations? i thought there was a member who worked at one of the local trailer places

You might be thinking of Billy Buoymaster but he is no longer with Tennessee Trailers in Soddy but they may be able to help you out ...

Rusty , does it have a solenoid that closes the line to fluid flow unless powered by 12 volts?

no, the solenoid on this one only closes when in reverse

Put current on backup lights to open solenoid, push surge plunger like you are backing up, open bleeder valve on wheel cylinders, let it gravity bleed until fluid flows thru bleeder..do 1 cylinder at a time.... emoGeezer emoUSA

Billy no longer works for Tn trailer or Chattanooga Trailer, but he would be my first call. He re did my whole brake set up on my older ranger last year and did a fine job. Id shoot him a PM "Bbass"
