Brakes for Signature Ultralite 8283SS

I may need new brakes for my 8283SS. Does anyone know the specs, part number, etc. and where I can get them? Is putting new shoes on a trailer any different than putting them on a car?

Thanks,

Have not done it yet. Here is info on the axles that I have on my Flagstaff Signature Ultra-lite.

From what I understand, there is not much price difference in replacing just the shoes versus the entire backing plate, which comes preassembled with new magnets.

Apparently eTrailer does not even sell the shoes alone.
The complete brake assembly is 124.95 each wheel.
