OP here: Thanks for all the info folks. I used to do my own brakes way back when I was young. But that was in the day of drum brakes, never messed with disc brakes, and don't really want to.
I have been doing my own brake jobs for about 40 years. I can only remember doing 1 or 2 vehicles with front drum brakes !
I remember those days! I had a '71 Challenger with drum brakes on all four corners before converting the fronts to disc brakes.
OP, drum brakes are much much more difficult to replace than disc brakes.
That being said, I'd definitely have the brake fluid flushed. Also, I've always found that turned rotors don't seem to last as long as new. I'd bite the bullet and replace them.
