Thanks for the feedback. My '03 Accord sedan I4/AT has 56,000 miles and
I've replaced pads once (2 years ago). I bleed the brake system every
other year as a preventive maint (like draining and renewing ATF or
coolent).

You're welcome. Replacing brake fluid every two years is probably more
often than necessary, but it doesn't hurt.
