Hey guys

I am about to put on a set of Comp 2 rear pads on my 32gtst, and was wondering if the bedding procedure is still the same as if i was bedding in the front pads. I have RB74's on the front which are already bedded in, so is it a case of me performing the same procedure that i used to bed the rb74's for the comp 2's?

Cheers

Simon

Since the rears only absorb around 20-30% of the braking pressure when the car brakes, IMO you should just brake gently for the first 15-20 KMs and after that they should be fine to give "some."

I tend to agree. Brake gently for the first couple of days, just so that the pad beds to the shape of the disc, and doesn't create hot spots on the pad. Obviously machining the discs also helps to prevent this.

After that give it all you want! The first time you heat them up substantially you'll bed them anyway...

Bedding has never really been a problem for me, as I run Lucas in both my road and rally cars, but provided you don't go out and do handbrakies first spin out in a car with an integrated handbrake, then your rears will very rarely ever give you grief! :cool:

the best way to bed in pads is to drive normaly for about a week.

them you need to "fade" them so going from some spasrtic speed. jump on the anchors. what you need to do is basicly make them fade.

this bonds the material together and will give you a much longer pad life.

this is how ve used to bed the pads in on the v8 supercar.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
