Unless the axle stub has the backing plate mounting flange, it can't be (easily or cheaply) done, since there is nothing to mount the hardware to. Brakes are with very few exceptions pretty much industry standard. They are commonly referred to by two components, the manufacturer of the axle itself, Dexter is the biggest, and secondly, the size, 10" x 2", 12" x 2", etc. The first thing is to look and see if you have a plate, 4" - 6" square right behind the tire on the axle you want to add the brakes to, if it's not there, you need a new axle, if its there brakes are only about $200 away, presuming you have electric brakes. Get two complete assemblies, including backing plates of course, the dealer can tell you about installation & wiring for your particular case. It's really a very simple thing to do. Best of luck.
