We can help you with finding hub/drum and brakes assemblies for your trailer.
A new hub drum needs to use the same two bearings as the one it replaces and it also needs to match the axle weight rating and the wheel bolt pattern for your wheel. I linked our main page for trailer hub/drum assemblies and on it you can click on your bolt pattern, axle rating and bearing numbers to see the hub options that are compatible.
For a hub with an inner bearing L68149 we have options for 2000-, 2200-, 3500- and 4400-lb axles. Just click on the filters to narrow down the items presented.
Drum brakes are also to be selected based on axle rating and the size of your hub/drum. We have both electric and hydraulic drum brakes that you can see on the linked page. Note that brakes can have various mounting bolt patterns; # AKEBRK-7-SA fits 12 x 2-inch drum and uses a 5-bolt brake flange pattern. Be sure to select both a left-hand and right-hand brake.
