Party of five:
Just another thought on the grease problem. You said this problem came on later and the brakes did work ok at first - correct? Well, just a thought, but the brakes could have been overpacked from the factory and as used, the brake grease heats up and finds it way to the brake shoes. This might explain why it didn't occur at first but later on did. The only other thing that I can think of that might have caused grease to get to the brake pads is a bad seal. Good luck in the future. As for the adnormal brake pad wear, it could be having the brake controler set too high or maybe the grease on the pads picked up dirt and dust and that combination caused the abnormal wear.
