So anything about those the 6 year old pads that warrants replacement? Do they suffer from any aging affects without significant use?
I was thinking about this the other night, wondering if brake pads still need periodic replacement due to their age, and not their wear. One of the guys said that I should use the brakes with a hard stop once a month, to exercise that system periodically and make sure that all is still in good working order just in case I should ever need them later on. Not a bad idea I guess, just to make sure that they are still there.
