In this video I will be showing you everything you need to know to bed your brakes (the brake bedding in procedure). I will teach you everything from why it is important to do this after changing brake components to the actual procedure so you can have 100% of your braking potential right away instead of 400 km later. This is important gearhead stuff to know!
This is another episode of a new series on how to become a GEARHEAD! If you have ever wondered how people know so much about cars and are absolutely crazy about anything with a motor, then this is a great series for you. This is geared towards people that have no knowledge of cars but want to learn; however, the content in my videos does try to make solid connections between theory and practical applications so even seasoned gearheads will find the info useful. Tired of paying other people money to fix your car? Then ya gotta learn this stuff!

First time caller, long time listener. Wanted to say great video and keep it up! Every do anything to a 79 vette? Would be really cool if you did.

@wayofthewrench 4 месяца назад

Lol....you and your Vette! We can talk about getting it into the shop next time we're hanging out. Yet another video without a wrench....lol. Thanks for the watch!

I'll be doing this after getting my brake fluid bled this spring on my pickup project. I can't wait!

@wayofthewrench 4 месяца назад

Awesome! Glad this will help ya out. What's your pickup? Thanks for the watch!

@KiwiPokerPlayer 4 месяца назад

Great video, very well explained. If you buy decent brake pads they often have variations of this advice on the box somewhere. Proper lubrication of brake hardware is also important for avoiding uneven wear.

@wayofthewrench 4 месяца назад

Thanks! I do try to make the best videos I can so I appreciate the comment! Yes proper set up and lube is crucial for a good brake job. I have everything now up for drum brakes but I still need to make a good disk brake replacement video. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!

I changed the rear disc brake pads and rear rotor/drum on my 2006 V6 4runner. The right side went smooth and I did not have to change the brake shoes which are in good shape having been changed once. On the driver's side I cannot get the new disc/drum to seat all the way on. It is getting stuck about an inch or two out. I tried tapping it on but there is a lot of resistance. I did wind the adjuster all the way down. My next move is changing all the parts on this sides service brake as on the springs etcetera. I am going to reuse the shoes which are aftermarket but again, fit fine on the passenger side. Any advice would be helpful.

@wayofthewrench 2 месяца назад

Really hard to diagnose by message... Double check new parts are the same as car parts stores like to give you the wrong stuff. I even had the wrong parts given in the correct box. Confirm with the other working side for proper orientation and correct parts. If you haven't already watched my how to replace drum brakes video I would do that too. Hope that helps. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel!

Is bedding in new brake pads to slightly used rotors necessary or even recommended? I just changed my rotors last year, so I didn't want to spend another $100+. For some reason, the rear brake pads were nearly worn completely down in less than 20k miles. (I have no idea how many km that is. I just know it's more.)

@wayofthewrench 12 дней назад

Bedding would be done with new pads and scuffed/machined rotors. Whenever the rotor surface doesn't have friction material transferred to the bare metal. My bet is you brake pads were a cheaper brand that are known to wear faster. Sometimes shops buy really cheap sets for their really cheap brake pad replacement specials and they don't last as long. Hope that helps. Thanks for the watch and welcome to the channel! Cheers!

@bpd999 11 дней назад

@@wayofthewrench I changed all the brakes with powerstop brakes bought from rock auto last March. That's a fairly reputable brand right? But yesterday, I threw Napa pads on the rears and did the bed in process to get the new brake pad material on the rotors. I didn't machine the rotors because, as I mentioned, there were only about 15k to 20k miles on them and they still felt fairly smooth when rubbing my nail over them. Was that a bad idea? Do I still have time to machine the rotors and do the bed in process with the napa pads I just put on? Or should I just leave it alone?

@wayofthewrench 10 дней назад

You should have at least scuffed the old rotors with sand paper in a radial fashion but if you already have them on, then i would just leave them. The old rotors will have friction material on them but sometimes you can have issues with new pads and old rotors( if there was an issue with them). If you are not experiencing any issues, I would just leave it. hope that helps. Cheers!

@bpd999 10 дней назад

@@wayofthewrench yeah, I didn't have any issues with the rotors, at least there was no pulsing or vibrations when braking. It was just that the rear pads were worn with less than 20k miles. I guess I'll just wait to see what my daughter tells me after she drives on them for a while. Hopefully I can get at least another 15k miles out of them. Thanks for getting back to me though.

@wayofthewrench 10 дней назад

Just a side note. If you still have early wear on a decent brand of pads, you might have some issue with the brakes still being on a little bit. This would cause rapid wear, loss in fuel mileage, and possibly a metallic smell. This can be from a pinched brake line/collapsed flex line, misadjusted brake pedal linkage, failed proportioning valve/combination valve, riding the brake pedal/floor mat causing pedal to not return, etc

@OrangeSeagull 2 месяца назад

Isnt this a great way to glaze your break shoes and ruin your breaking power? Serious question

@wayofthewrench 2 месяца назад

It's a good question. If you use too much pressure on the brakes during the short method or hold it for too long, you can overheat your friction material. This usually happens when there is a braking component issue like a seized caliper that never releases the brakes. Thanks for the watch and your support for the channel!

37. 282 MPH = 60 km/h ….⛽️🛞

@wayofthewrench 4 месяца назад

Yeah I guess adding the conversion to MPH would have been good, I just figured every car has both on their speedometer. Thanks for the conversion and the watch! Cheers!
