After double checking all bolts to make sure they were tight, and remounting the tires and wheels, the trailer was flipped upright. (This is at least a two man job, and three people would be safer.)

Jeep trailers with brakes obviously take more work than their brakeless civilian counterparts. It took us about an hour to do a springover on a civilian Bantam trailer, and about four hours on the M100. And note that we did not have other work to do on the M100. The brakes and axle seals were in good condition. All I had to do was clean dust, mud and a bit of grime out with brake cleaner spray. Add more time if other repairs are needed.

In this pic our kitty Buttons (aka Butthead aka Kitty Taliban) is inspecting our work. It's the last photo of him. He was run over shortly afterwards by a low slung speeding rice burner, who badly exceeded the limit in a quiet residential neighborhood. I was in the process of making this thread last night when he got run over.
