Why do trailer brake shoes cost so much?
Another post that talked about his oddly cracked brake shoes got me thinking about maybe changing mine out this spring. After doing some checking I've discovered how expensive those darned things are!...

Just buy the whole assembly new. I think there are three or four easy to remove bolts thru the backing plate that holds the whole thing on. Then You splice the electric wire and that's it, job done. I HATE working on drum brakes myself.
Just one example from Amazon
Make sure you get the right size and the right side. I bought them from a local RV place and didn't pay this much IIRC, may have been $35. Check Rock Auto, tho I'm not sure they carry RV parts or other online vendors.
