Hey Bob, we'll need a little more info, but we'll find what you need!

Have you tried pulling the brake assembly to look for part numbers? Do you know the axle capacity? There should be a tag on the axle, or you can measure the diameter and that translates to a weight rating in most cases. Other option is to measure the overall diameter of the brake assembly as that also translates to a capacity that we can match parts up to.

For example, the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes - 12" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 6K # 23-458-459 you were looking at are 12" in diameter, rated for 6k axles, which works with hubs like Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 5.2K & 6K Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K.

You can also pull a hub off and check the bearing numbers which also matches up to parts.

Just let me know if you can get that info and we can go from there! Another thing that might help is the exact model 5th wheel you have.
