I wish my assemblies were so cheap but they are close to two hundred fifty dollars a piece. They are very large. We are redoing all the wiring and did check voltage at each magnet. That's how we found the bad one. The bad magnet was on the same axle as the hub that eats brake linings. I did just begin to wonder that if that magnet has been bad four years could that cause the first failure?
Where are you getting that price quoted? from a dealership.
If they are really that price my first suggestion is to dump the antiquated brake design and go for disk brakes. Total cost is only around 2000 dollars plus some labor. If your the least mechanically inclined it is a DIY job. And well worth the time and effort.
