Beding your brakes will improve the longevity of your braking system. You must use brakes sparingly during this process in order to ensure even heat transfer. Be careful not to accelerate more than 5mph during this process. You should do this ten to twenty times. After the first couple of times, your brakes should be cooled off naturally. After these tests, you can repeat the bedding process. Here are some tips to ensure proper brake bedding.
The first step in the process is to remove the shim from the backing plate. Remove the old shim and discard. Then, press the new one into the drum wall. Be sure to fully retract the brake shoes and test them on a safe road before reapplying the shims. If you have any doubts about the effectiveness of your brakes, contact a mechanic. It is essential to check your brakes often for proper braking.
Before applying brake pads, let the rotors and pads warm up to ambient temperature. After bedding, you should allow the discs and pads to cool down to ambient temperature. It should take about five or six laps and ten to fifteen minutes. During this process, the brake pads and rotors will smell strongly. Be sure to practice safety when using brakes, especially if you have a new coating on the discs.
