FAQ for Brake Pad Set Repair
Q: How do I test the Brake Pad and Rotor?
A:
Start with selecting a smooth road with little or no traffic. Next, accelerate the vehicle to 48 km/h (30 mph). Then using moderate to firm pressure, apply the brakes to bring the vehicle to a stop. Do not allow the brakes to lock. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until approximately 20 stops have been completed. Allow sufficient cooling periods between stops to properly burnish the brake pads and rotors.
