I'm getting ready to replace my 1999 4runner front rotors and pads (again) and was wondering what the proper way to bed-in the rotors/pads is.
I've heard get the car up to 60 mph and come to a gradual stop (repeat
4-6 times) to bed them in. There is also a procedure for the same thing at 80 mph. Apparently, this is supposed eliminate "hot spots" on the rotors???
First, I don't think I can find such as stretch of road that I can arbitrarilly start and stop from 60 mph, and second, is it necessary?
I ask if its necessary because my 4runner owners manual says nothing about bedding in brakes when the car is new, so why now?
Thanks to everyone for any help,
Randy
