FAQs
What is the purpose of a reverse brake lever kit?
The reverse brake lever kit allows the trailer's brakes to automatically disengage when the vehicle is reversing. This prevents the brakes from locking up and making maneuvering difficult.
Which ALKO brake sizes are compatible with this kit?
This kit is compatible with ALKO brake shoes measuring 200mm x 50mm (part number 2051) and 230mm x 60mm (part number 2361).
Can I use this kit on any trailer?
No, this kit is specifically designed for ALKO brake systems and is compatible with older Ifor Williams trailers and horse boxes manufactured before 1992. It is not suitable for trailers made before 1989.
Does the kit include everything needed for replacement?
Yes, the kit includes one left-hand and one right-hand reverse lever, complete with lever pins and springs, ready for immediate replacement.
How do I know if I need to replace my reverse lever kit?
Signs include brakes binding when reversing, uneven braking, or a complete lack of braking in reverse. Visual inspection may reveal worn or broken lever components.
Are these parts for the automatic reverse function of the brakes?
Yes, these are specifically reverse brake lever kits, which are crucial for the automatic reverse function of ALKO trailer braking systems.
Troubleshooting
Brakes still binding in reverse after installation.
Double-check the orientation and fitment of both the left and right-hand levers. Ensure all pins and springs are correctly seated and that no other brake component is damaged or misaligned.
Lever kit does not seem to fit correctly.
Verify that your brake shoes match the specified ALKO sizes (200x50mm or 230x60mm) and that your trailer is compatible (pre-1992 Ifor Williams or similar with ALKO brakes). Ensure you are using the correct LH or RH lever for the side of the trailer.
Difficulty in removing old lever components.
Apply a penetrating lubricant to help loosen any seized parts. Use appropriate tools, such as pliers or a small pry bar, carefully to avoid damaging surrounding brake components.
