Helpful Expert Reply:
Are you trying to pick out brake shoes or all new brake assemblies? Normally you measure the depth of the hub drum and then measure the diameter of it and you'll know which size you have. I attached a picture that shows where to measure. If shoes are what you need let me know what brand you have and I'll see if we can find a replacement.
