Do you know if this fiver requires the 7200's, or was maybe the supplier out of 7000's and substituted what they had?
Maybe you could swap back to the common 7000's, but the trailer's GVWR and the design of the axle spindles would have to allow it.
Alternatively, you could go a long ways on a set of shoes.
I'm concerned that one set of shoes fell apart when the rest didn't. Any signs that brake dragged and got overheated?
Recommended to do the same thing to both sides because the friction characteristics can be different if only one set of shoes/pads is replaced or one drum/rotor is re-surfaced.
