Or do you foresee it pulling to one side??

I agree these aren't expensive to replace but don't have any other cheap brakes to replace it with at my house and can't get in a co-op for a bit.

I doubt that it would pull to one side or the other. Lining up the pads might be difficult but given the age of the brakes, someone may have already dealt with that problem.
