Hello Daniel, thanks for reaching out. We do have the drums, brakes and bearings for the 7K torsion axles. Here is what I recommend:
- Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 5.2K - 7K Axles - 12" - 8 on 6.5 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-K
- etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left/Right Hand - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA
- Bearing Kit, 14125A/ 25580 Bearings, 10-36 Seal # BK3-200
There are a few things you should check to verify fitment. Please make sure your brakes and axles use a 5-bolt brake flange, as some older AL-KO axles did not. Also please verify the 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern matches your wheels. If you can check those two things, you can be sure the parts I recommended will work.
Keep in mind the brakes are sold as a pair, and the hubs are sold individually. The hubs come with bearings, races, grease seals, grease cap and lug nuts.
What kind of trailer is this going on?
