Hey Roddie,

To determine the correct brake assemblies for your trailer you'll first want to find your axle capacity. If the trailer is rated for 10k and has two axles then they'd likely be rated for 5k each. If you look at the axle tube there should be a sticker on it with the axle capacity. If it's not there then you can measure the drum assembly like I have depicted below and I can use these measurements to determine the correct brake assemblies.
