I took a look at what we carry, and we do not carry replacement axles for 2.7K axles, However, we do carry a wide variety of braking assemblies for you.

In order to determine which assemblies are compatible with your trailer, you will need to measure the inside diameter and depth of your current brake drums. The drums will need to be pulled off, however.

For example, the:

-Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35 will fit drums that have a 10" inner diameter and are 2-1/4" deep.

If you let me know what you are needing, I'd be happy to assist.
