Picking out brake assemblies for trailer axles is actually pretty easy but I am not able to determine the info I need from your trailer's make and model due to age.

To pick out the correct brake assemblies for your trailer you need to know a few things.

You will want to measure the inner diameter of your hub/drums and the depth of the drums to determine what brake assembly dimensions you need. For example the part # 23-464-465 is a 12 inch by 2 inch thick brake assembly and is a very common size found on axle capacities that are between 5,200 lb and 7,000 lb.
