If the shoes are wet with brake fluid or axle grease, or if they're worn out, you also need to have them relined or replaced.
May also need front hub and or rear axle seals to prevent future leaks, or if damaged at removal, or if removing wheel bearings for cleaning or replacing.
Brakes aren't something to rush, take your time and do it right, even if it means waiting to get good parts.
Sticking with original is probably faster than hunting and scrounging and trying to make something else work, and having to rebuild those brakes.
If not pitted or worn badly you might hone and rebuild your own wheel and master cylinders.
