I think you should be able to do it with a small mirror, otherwise
it looks like a wheel-out job.

I went onto my third set at the 18,000 mile service, so 8,000 miles
for a set seems feasible. My theory is that because the back brake
works, I tend to use it and so wear out brake pads.

The only real problem I've had was that after cleaning the front
calipers, the back brake felt useless!
All the best,
