A few weeks ago, I helped my friend change his front rotors and pads in anticipation of the coming driving season (winter). His rotors were truly crusty and warped so the pads were sweeping maybe 20% of the rotor surface. It was ugly. So we got them changed after shearing an old caliper bolt and scouring auto shops frantically for two days. I was then tasked with bedding in the pads and rotors.
EBC Green pads & new rotors installed.
Blue temper color from bedding in the pads. This indicates a temperature from 550F to 600F.
Pads smoking, this smelled horrible.
After the pads were bedded in, we fooled around and did some acceleration runs. Somehow, we managed to break the midpipe of the exhaust from its flange. I had to get it welded up the day after. Ha. Don't let me work on your cars. Then, if you are foolish enough to, don't let me 'make sure everything is okay' afterwards.
