Quick Answer

To install the Ultimate 2 rear brake, remove the old brake, align the new foot pedal with the mounting holes, secure it with the provided hardware, and test that the wheel locks firmly when engaged.

Before You Start: Tools and Safety

You'll need a flat-head screwdriver, a Phillips-head screwdriver, and a clean work area. The brake is a direct replacement for the factory part, so no special tools or modifications are required.

Always work on a flat surface and ensure the stroller is stable. If you're replacing the brake due to wear, inspect the rear wheels for damage while you have the brake off.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

One common mistake is over-tightening the screws, which can strip the threads or crack the plastic housing. Tighten until snug, then give a quarter turn more.

Another is misaligning the brake pedal with the wheel hub, causing the brake to rub or not engage fully. Always check alignment before tightening.

Installation Steps

  1. Remove the Old Brake: Using the screwdrivers, remove the screws securing the old brake to the stroller frame. Pull the brake away from the wheel hub. If it's stuck, gently wiggle it free. Keep the old screws in a safe place in case you need them for the new brake.
  2. Position the New Brake: Align the new Ultimate 2 Rear Brake with the mounting holes on the frame, ensuring the foot pedal faces the rear of the stroller. Insert the screws and hand-tighten them. Check that the brake arm is parallel to the wheel hub to avoid misalignment.
  3. Secure and Test: Tighten the screws fully with the screwdriver, but avoid over-tightening. Engage the brake by pressing the pedal down and verify the wheel locks. Release and repeat a few times. If the brake doesn't lock, loosen the screws, re-align, and tighten again.
