The outer pads don't have any tabs (at least on the ones I've found at a very good brake supplier near me) and the little pins on the back of the tabs to locate in the caliper are pretty short. I've used a lot of the spray adhesive too.

I'll try calling. Did once before but must have got the wrong guy....

Sorry I could not have been of more help. There must be something that is not allowing the caliper to slide and causing outside pad to wear quickly. You mentioned broken brake hoses, are you sure hoses are long enough and not stretching to far when axle moves up and down? what is weight capacity on axles, how many lugs per wheel?
