For your brake assemblies, I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # AKEBRK-35-SA. These brake assemblies are labeled for the proper installation side and are self-adjusting after the initial installation adjustment. The pads are automotive grade and are bonded not rivited to the brake shoes for long life and more braking torque.

I will need more information to help on the bearings for your hub and drum assembly. If you have the bearing numbers that are printed on the face of the inner and outer bearing on one hub, I can get you the parts you need. I also need to know what the bolt pattern is on your hub. I've attached an article to assist in determining this based on your hub or wheel.

I've also attached a photo to help you with different ways you can measure with a digital caliper like # PTW80157 to ensure we get you the proper bearings and seal if we can't find the number on the bearings and seal themselves.
