Stanstruck,
Simple, just by the brakes, drums and hubs and install them. Here is a link to Dexter Axles, they will have all the info you need.

Hope this helps

It's a piece of cake. Put on the backing plates, drums, and run the wire. Did it on my old pop-up when I got the '97 F-150. The little pop-up pushed the truck when wet. Should have got the four wheel anti-locks like the car had.
Good luck. Dexter axles is the place for parts and info.

trailer parts
I'd suggest doing a search for trailer parts. I do some trailer work as a hobby and found Dexter a little on the high side.
Try these for starters,
axisproducts.com
southwestwheel.com
These will get you started. I was pleased with the service from both.

Adding Trailer Brakes
Sorry for the late reply - just got back from vacation.
You may have already found this out, but the chances are real good your trailer axle will have to be changed. Most trailers that don't have brakes installed at the factory also don't have the axle flanges necessary to mount any kind of brake system. Buying a brake system and then finding this out is a real bummer!
