Just wanted to provide a closing to this story. I got the new drums, magnets installed. New seals and grease on the bearings. Everything went well, spread the shoes to center the shoes on the new drums then back off to a light drag. Funny thing it took about 20 clicks to get adjusted to a light drag, again pointing to improper adjusted shoes as the cause of the abnormal magnet wear. We just got back from our first trip out and put about 150 miles of break in time so I'll be back under there to snug up the shoes again to a light drag. Thanks again for listening and your advice!
