IF you've a leaky seal and your brakes aren't ruined, replacement seals are only a couple of bucks. IF your brakes are saturated and you go to an RV dealer you'd better be prepared to spend some bucks. I just replaced all four brake assemblies (one was ruined by a failed seal) and got them from eTrailer for under $90 each. These were Dexter assemblies, not aftermarket. They were the complete backing plate, shoes, magnet and all associated hardware. Only thing missing was the little rubber plugs for the adjusting holes. The job wasn't that difficult. I'm 72 and it only took me two days (between TV and nap times!).
