{"replyTo":"","text":"Mechanic and driver here. They are great until the greaseless nylon (or whatever dang plastic they are made of) pads wear out. Theoretical, they are easy to replace. However, in the real world, you often end up breaking multiple torq bits and / or break off several of the fasteners in the fith wheel. The fasteners are difficult to extract once the head breaks off.","replyToPid":0}
