I've never done anything special when I've done previous brake jobs, But is there a "best way" to bed them?:ummm:
Don't brake hard if possible on the first 100 miles. Let them smooth down and seat properly for full efficiency afterwards.
I don't know if it matters.
What I generally try to do is use firm brakes from about 60 down to 15mph, and then speed up and repeat, quite a few times.
What I'm trying to do is rip into the pads a little bit, but not too much at once so the surface doesn't glaze, and build up even heat through the pad and rotor whhile they settle a little.
I don't know if it does anything though!
Wash rotors with warm, soapy water. Then quick brake moderately hard a couple of times from 35 mph to seat pads. Done.
