Hey Keith! It sounds like you have torsions axle which we do not offer replacements for if that's what you're looking to do.

The Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes item # K23-086-087-00, include the parking brake feature. These brakes will work if your current ones measure 10" diameter x 2-1/4" wide and have a 4 bolt mounting pattern.

You will need to use the Dexter Parking Brake Kit with Breakaway for Hydraulic Drum Brakes item # T2385200 to engage the parking brake feature on the brakes. This will work with electrical brakes as well.

If you could get me some part numbers off of your hubs or a brake assembly I can confirm which brakes you need. Just leave this information in the comment box below.
