Sounds like you are trying to add trailer brakes to a trailer that currently does not have any installed. I attached a help article that will walk you through the entire process, but basically you will need to first determine what spindle you have on your trailer axles so that you can find the right hub/drum to fit the axles. Once you have that figured out you will be able to piece the rest of the parts needed from there.

I also attached a picture that shows what info is needed to identify what hubs would fit your spindle. The bearing numbers or the three pointed out dimensions of the spindle would be what's needed.
