I would not reliy on " they were changed just last year!"

Front pads take a heavier load in stopping than do the rear shoes, and
will require replacing more often. So far my front pads are running
three pad changes for every one shoe change.

Changes the pads is easy, IF the discs do not need turning. If they do,
it will take you longer. If not, then the job can be do on both front
wheels in 30 minutes.
