45 mins - if, and that is a big IF, the discs come off the hub, have been known to spend an hour wiling seven shades of poo out of them before now.

Normally you would replace disks and pads as a set, if you just change the pads now they will bed into the old disks, if you then change the disks in a couple of months it could take a while for the pads to re-bed into the new disks (depending on how bad the old disks are and how they may have scored / worn the pads). I would recommend doing them as a complete set if you can - even if that means gentle braking for the next couple of months (as long as they are still safe obviously)
