I was able to determine that your 9,000lb axles on your Texas Pride Trailer will accept the Dexter Axle Oil Hub # 008-430-03. It uses the same Outer Bearing # 25580, Inner Bearing # 387A and this will use the Oil Seal # 10-51 which is the same 2.875 inner diameter as your grease seal. You will need the Oil Cap Kit # RG04-270 for the new hubs. And the Kodiak Synthetic Bearing Oil # XLPROLUBE can be used with all manufactures.

The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D11E will provide you with the calipers, rotors and hardware for one axle. And a HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator # HBA16 with HydraStar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # HS496-253 will take care of the hydraulic portion of the brakes for all 3 axles on the trailer.

So just to recap since you will be doing 3 axles you will need the following parts.

Dexter Axle Oil Hub # 008-430-03 Qty 6
Outer Bearing # 25580 Qty 6
Inner Bearing # 387A Qty 6
Oil Seal # 10-51 Qty 6
Oil Cap Kit # RG04-270 Qty 6 (A spare or 2 may be a good idea incase one is damaged by road debris or a flat.)
Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D11E Qty 3
HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator # HBA16 Qty 1
HydraStar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # HS496-253 Qty 1
Kodiak Synthetic Bearing Oil # XLPROLUBE Qty 3

@Jorge if your hub/drum assembly is 2 piece and you can pull off the drum then you won't need to replace it. The K2R1058D11E will slip on over the idler hub. If you can't separate them you need # 008-430-03 as well.
