Replacement Brake Assemblies for 6k 12-inch Drums

Question:

I have two 6k axles that are hydraulic brakes that I want to switch to electric, there is nothing to say what brand the axles are but it does say it has TITAN complete brake system, they are 12 x 2 with a 5 bolt mounting pattern, the only number on the hub is 92865 , not sure if thats the part number or not but the back side has a wide flat spot just like the electric hubs do so think I can use the same hubs and just change out the brake backing plate and brake assembly but not sure, hub bolt pattern are 8 on 6 1/2. I tried to get the numbers from the bearings in case I would need new hubs but they were a little hard to read, the inside bearing number was 25580 , outside bearing number was 14125A , hopefully I got them right. my truck has a factory trailer braking system already on it so I think all I need is the electric brake assemblies, a wiring junction box and some new wiring but not sure, hopefully you guys can help. thanks.

Since all you need to swap from hydraulic drum brakes to electric drum brakes is the correct brake assembly you do not need bearing info. Basically the info you provided of the assembly diameter, width and bolt pattern plus axle capacity would be all that you need.

All you need is the part # 23-459 for the right hand side and the part # 23-458 for the left hand side. These are self-adjusting brakes that would work well. Basically you just need to wire them up with 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 which is sold by the foot and you'd be good to go.
