    Gunites. I usually just back them off enough to slip the drum off. With the drum off I just cam them over and put the new shoes on. From my understanding they only wear when you ratchet them off, not tighten them.

    I thought it is 97 and older for manual adjuster? And don't need reflective tape on mudflap hangers, or top of cab rear.

    Probably so they can sell more of them. My favorite tool is a Plierench...seldom go anywhere without it hanging off my belt. They don't make them anymore, and it's probably because the pair I carry is 96 years old and still going strong. When something lasts a lifetime, a person only needs to buy 1. Once everybody has one, there's no need to keep producing them. By engineering them to wear out and eventually fail, you're guaranteed to sell more, as the ones you sold originally need to be replaced.
