What is Brake Bedding (Breaking In Brakes)??? Detailed Description

Brake bedding is one of the most ignored practice when performing brake services.
To sum it all up, brake bedding is the process of transferring your brake pad material onto your brake rotor surface EVENLY the first several hundred miles of operation.

This was a simple, to the point and EXTREMELY educational tutorial. I wish other tubers would make things this THANK YOU!!

EXCELLENT. I just made this mistake. New pads on old but smooth rotors. After three weeks i started getting squealing!!! So i had to get new rotors and i also got new pads to be safe. Just broke in. We’ll see how she goes. One other time this procedure was perfect. I keep 3 week old pads to use later down the road as they look like new.

Good brake jobs are not cheep, and cheep brake jobs are not good. Everything you said is very true. Never pad slap.

Oh wow. I was going to change my pads without changing the rotors. Thanks for the informative vid!!

Best explanation of this that I have seen after watching a number of videos. Thanks for posting.

Great info! Doing some brakes soon and I know about bedding but still learned something new

[michaelsullivan]

Like the snowboarding reference makes complete sense with that analogy

I'm not sure what you are saying my friend, but according to any service manual, service schedule I have read and my personal experience, you can just replace only the pads just fine and only replace the rotors once they are less than a minimum determined thickness, or they are warped, other than that I've never heard of or had any issues regarding only replacing the pads without any work to the rotors.

After 2 sets of brake rotors, I learned not to hold my brakes at every red light and use hand brake instead. this year, no new rotors :)

My friend bought a new MG car. I think it's 1 yr old now. I saw last month all this red stuff on her hubcaps. (I don't drive myself, but I'm worried as she is elderly)
Is that normal to have all that red dust on them? I didn't see that on her other car.
Are the brakes overheating, or does she just have to break in the new car?
Can you please help me?

Oh man, that's my problem. And I had that ugly pad imprint on my new DBA T4 rotor, I even got them machined but they didn't take long to build the film in the same spot. Thank you, great explanation.

How many times do you need to do the break in cycles to get a proper seating?

[rogeryanez]

Thanks for the information, love the video, I do have a quick question for you brother, What's the difference between an all flat brake pad and a pad that has those outer angle cuts? Thanks ✌

[Jandejongjong]

Wow I’m learning a lot about breaking

That makes alot of sense about the freeway problem. So I warped or thought I messed my rotors up and I replaced the rotors for new ones AGAIN. I have NEW rotors And I got the brakes just 4 days ago. These brakes have been driven on for 4 days. Can I still use them on the new rotor and I just also did a "bedding" process just ten minutes before this comment post
