When it comes to switching to The Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles - 94 inch Long - 7,000 pounds # e93GR you can use your existing hubs and brakes if they meet the criteria. The spindle # e93GR uses an inner bearing of # 25580 and an outer bearing of # 14125A with The Seal # GS-2250DL that has an inner diameter of 2.25 inches. If your bearings are the same then it will match up.
The inner bearing # 25580 has an inner diameter of 1.750 inches and the outer bearing # 14125A has an inner diameter of 1.250 inches. The brakes will be good if they are rated for 7,000 pounds and mount the same. For example The Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-464-465 and most other 7,000 kits have a 5 bolt mounting flange. The dimensions of the brake should also have a 12 inch diameter and 2 inch wide. You would also need the mounting hardware # BRKH12.
To mount the axle you would also need The U-Bolt Kit # APUBR-8.
