It depends on what was damaged. We lost a bearing several years ago, tore up the seal bore in the hub, trashed the brakes, and damaged the bearing adjustment washer and nut clip. Fortunately, the spindle only had a scrape on the tapered area, otherwise serviceable. I just ordered new parts from Dexter due to not wanting to mess around hunting down parts. The drum/hub assembly comes with new bearings and the races are already installed. The brake backing plate assembly comes completely assembled, just five nuts to remove and reinstall, then two wires to splice. Also, depending on the condition of your other brakes, this might be the time to replace all the brakes, and I have found replacing the backing plate assemblies is usually cheaper and quicker than trying to find all the parts, shoes and magnets. I replaced the parts on the road at one of our stops, and later in the season I ordered all new Timken bearings and races and did that upgrade when I did my seasonal bearing repack/brake inspection.
