This guide is for owners of trailers, particularly those with ALKO braking systems, and offers a crucial replacement part for maintaining reliable braking performance. The key benefit is ensuring proper auto-reverse functionality on the near side of the trailer. A caveat to note is that this kit is specifically for the left-hand side and has compatibility limitations with pre-1989 manufactured trailers.

No, this is specifically a left-hand (near side) brake lever kit. A separate kit would be required for the right-hand side.
This kit is compatible with ALKO brake shoe sizes 200mm x 50mm (MPN 2051) and 230mm x 60mm (MPN 2361).
This kit is suitable for ALKO brakes on trailers, including older Ifor Williams trailers and horse boxes manufactured before 1992. However, it is not suitable for trailers manufactured before 1989.
The auto-reverse lever kit ensures that the trailer brakes automatically disengage when the vehicle is reversing, preventing damage to the braking system and allowing for easier maneuvering.
Each pack contains one left-hand brake lever kit, which includes the necessary lever pin and spring.
It is recommended to inspect your trailer's braking system as part of regular vehicle maintenance, typically before long journeys or at least annually, to ensure all components are functioning correctly.
Verify the left-hand lever kit is correctly installed and the spring is properly tensioned. Ensure the lever is moving freely and not obstructed. Check if the correct size brake shoes are installed.
Ensure you are using the correct orientation for the lever and pin. It may be necessary to slightly compress the brake shoe assembly to get everything aligned. Consult a service manual for your specific ALKO brake model if unsure.
Check for any debris or corrosion in the brake drum assembly. The lever might be binding. Ensure the lever pin is not bent and the spring is not over-tensioned or damaged.
Double-check that you have the correct ALKO brake shoe size (200x50 or 230x60) and that your trailer is compatible with this specific lever kit. Confirm you are working on the left-hand side.

Care:
This is a mechanical component designed for replacement. Regular inspection of the trailer's braking system during maintenance is recommended. Ensure brake drums are clean and free of excessive dirt or debris. No specific lubrication is typically required for this lever kit itself, as it operates within the sealed brake assembly.
