So, you're confident the brakes work without the clips. I thought that was possible but one magnet was worn in a way that tells me it was sitting caddy waampus, (that's southern for crooked) in the hub. Your theory being that the magnets don't have room to come all the way off the lever even without the clips. That would help explain how I've been driving without knowing I had no trailer brakes. I like it, but I'm gonna change the magnets anyway, they look pretty worn, one has the wire wrap showing. Now, tell me where the clips go.

Thanks for that information, it is very helpful.

If you are following this thread to learn about checking and changing hubs or brakes I'm gonna start a new thread with pictures when I get this done. Look for it under stanleyz.
