I have had this in my toolbox for 5 years without knowing what it was. a gift from my later father in law. Thanks for the explanation!
Note that this is upside down from the installed position.
It wants to be that way. Every time I flip my phone around, the brake assembly flips back to being upside down.
But that's a simple machine.
I'm not a fan of rear disc brakes either. I do have to say that the setup on the 2019 is better than the one on the 2010-2011 even though it does have the rotating piston thing. I think rear drums are less maintenance intensive. Rear drums are harder to work on when they do need work. Pick your poison I guess.
I've worked on drum in hat parking breaks before, but never electric ones. That is just ridiculous.
The 2010-2011 setup without the electronics is bad enough. At least you can still work on the parking brakes with the axles in. It sucks a lot but it can be done. Only a non-mechanic type person would think electronic parking brakes are a great idea. Because electric brakes in general have been so fantastically reliable on trailers all these years.... NOT!
