In most cases it is about the same price and a better choice just to replace the entire brake assembly instead of trying to replace just the brake linings. As long as you have a 5 bolt mounting flange for your brake assemblies (you should based on the brake size you listed) I would recommend the part # 23-459 for a right hand assembly and the part # 23-458 for a left hand assembly.

These assemblies are nice because they will automatically adjust to deliver optimum performance and braking power. Some assemblies require manual adjustment which can be a hassle.
