I put some new pads on - a bedding in question
it took about 90 mins for the left side and around 45 mins for the right. This was my first attempt at it. Damm it's easy. Just remove the two 19mm caliper bolts and your almost there. I didn't bleed the brakes, just removed some brake fluid and put new stuff in. For my bedding in procedure, I drove around for 5 minutes to warm them up, then did around 12 60-10mph brake tests on full braking over a period of 5 minutes and then let it cool down for another 5, then stopped the car. I could smell the pads after I switched off the car. Should I bed them in tommorrow again, or will this be adequate?
Not to correct you Kriss but you don't usually remove the 19mm bolts, you
usally remove the rubber caps on the back of the sliding pins and then use an allen socket to remove the sliding pins, then remove the caliper, that way you can inspect the sliding pins and all other moving parts on the brakes to make sure that everything is ok. You don't usually remove the caliper mounting bracket unless your replacing the rotors. I would advise you to still inspect your caliper sliding pins to make sure that the caliper slides smoothly on them.
