First thing to check is to see if you there is a square mounting flange behind the spindle on the axle for a brake assembly to bolt to. If so, then it would be very easy to install the brakes.
Let me know what you find. Also I attached a link to a page that will walk you through adding brakes to a trailer axle as well.
