Hey Yussel, congrats on the new hobby. To replace the bearings on your 2020 Apex Nano 213RDS you'll need the inner bearing item # L68149 and the outer bearing item # L44649. The inner one is bigger so it will be closest to the trailer on the inside of the hub. They're sold individually.
I recommend getting the entire kit instead of just the bearings. The Hub Bearing Kit item # BK2-100 has everything you need to replace the bearings, races, seals, cotter pin, and tang washer on one of your hubs. There's a really good chance you're going to dent the races and damage the seals trying to replace just the bearings. Buying the kit will prevent that and it's less expensive. You'll need one per hub.
The correct brake assemblies are the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes item # 23-468-469. These are the actual brakes that mount inside the hub. They're self-adjusting so you won't have to go through a complicated break in process. They will need to be mounted on the correct side. The brake magnet will be on the bottom. It's the oval shaped thing at the bottom of the pictures. These are sold as a pair.
If you need to replace the actual hubs, I highly recommend going with the Dexter Trailer Hub & Drum Assembly item # 84546UC3-EZ. This has brand new bearings, races, and seals preinstalled and pre-greased. All you have to do is take the old hub off and slide this one back on. These are sold individually.
