I can certainly point you in the right direction. If the tag is not readable, it is best to have you confirm some specs prior to ordering. The best thing to do will be to remove a hub and measure the diameter and depth of the brake shoes. This way we will know what will fit inside your drum. For example, a 7,000 lb axle uses a standard 12" diameter x 2" wide brake shoe and uses a 5 bolt brake flange. If the current brakes match these specs, you can replace them with the electric brake assemblies # AKEBRK-7-SA.

If you find that a different size is needed, feel free to send me some specs and I will see what we can offer you.
