Brake Bedding
Note: Bedding in new brake systems or new
pads is recommended to ensure proper brake
performance and maximize brake life. Proper
bedding improves brake pedal/lever feel and
reduces or eliminates brake squeal. Bedding
in the brakes is a process of depositing an
even layer of pad material on the surface of the
brake rotor.
CAUTION: With new brake systems or just new
pads, the first few braking applications will result
in very little braking power. Gently use the brakes
a few times at low speeds (<25 mph) to develop
proper braking friction.
Process
1. From 50 mph, apply the brakes firmly, but do
not lock up the tires or engage ABS. Slow
down to 10 mph. Do not come to a complete
stop as this can cause the pad material to
become imprinted on the rotor causing
vibration.
2. Gradually accelerate back up to 50 mph. This
will prevent the brake system from
overheating.
3. Repeat previous steps 15-20 times.
