Thanks Gary,

I have an earlier model (pre-recall) and have had to replace it due to motor failure.

My trailer had an ActiBrake, recalled, inspected, "passed" I chose to R&R with Carlisle, later Carlisle c-board crapped out, reinstalled old ActiBrake, it failed on way home, replaced board on Carlisle, installed, not subject to recall, now my next move in this PARTIAL list of hydraulic woes is a caliper teardown to inspect for rusty pistons. It's an even longer story than posted, but when everythig has been AOK they are some strong brakes. I'm getting pretty good at bleeding these two axles.
