We do not have any replacement parts for the Atwood 61101 brake actuator. I do have a direct replacement. The Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator - Drum - Zinc - 2" Ball - 7,000 lbs, part # DM72VR, is a bolt-on brake actuator that mounts on 3" centers.

I have included a product description link and a video demo link below.
