Eric,

what did you find that caused your brake problem? I'm going to be adjusting my 2000 Cobra trailer brakes soon, and would appreciate any hints you could give.

The overrun mechanism is working properly. I'll check the cable actuators when I
take the drum off tomorrow. The shoes are original, and appear to have plenty of
lining when I look through the little hole in the backing plate, but I'll know for
sure with the drum off.

I decided I'd rather to other things than work on a trailer, so today I took it to
the mechanic that does my motorhome repairs. Didn't find anything external, so
tomorrow they'll pull the hubs. I'll let you know.
