Replacement Actuating Arms for AL-KO Drum Brake Assemblies on 5200-lb Axle

Question:

I am looking for a replacement actuating arm for a 12inch x 2inch AK LO brake assembly 5200 lb axles - is this something you carry? The small rotating square part attached the arm that interacts with the shoes has broken, thus the need for replacement. Thanks.

We do carry a range of trailer brake replacement parts including actuating arms like those shown on the linked page. The actuating arms we offer for AL-KO brakes are for their larger size electric drum assemblies. Part # 568237 fits their 12-1/4 x 3-1/2-inch left-hand brake and part # 568236 fits right-hand brakes.

If you choose to replace the entire brake assembly, which usually involves a bit less grief than rebuilding one, then you may care to check the other link which displays all 12 x 2 brakes for 5200-lb axles. You can click on the filters on the page to select electric or hydraulic type, adjustment method and compatible wheels sizes. Be sure to note the mounting hole pattern on your flanges to ensure compatibility and also choose both left- and right-hand brake assemblies.
