I just had a brake job, with replacement of e-brake pads also, as my XLT has 106,000 miles on it. The brake pads still had material, but the e-brake pads were gone, just rusted backing plates. The pads that were there, were worn.
Now I haven'[t used my e-brake since 60,000 miles, since one of the ones in the right rear fell off the backing plate. I just had the pad removed , the wheel put back on, and went on.
My question is how or why do these pads wear if the brake is not used
Could they have been adjusted too tight from the get go? Never smell anything like you would think you would with hot pads.
Has anyone else had the e-brake pads wear enough to warrant replacement?
