Pad and Rotor Bedding (Continued)

POST-BEDDING INSPECTION – ALL VEHICLES

• After the bedding cycle, the rotors should exhibit a uniformly burnished finish across the entire contact face. Any surface irregularities

that appear as smearing or splotching on the rotor faces can be an indication that the brakes were brought up to temperature too
quickly during the bedding cycle. If the smear doesn’t blend away after the next run-in cycle, or if chatter under braking results,
sanding or resurfacing the rotors will be required to restore a uniform surface for pad contact.

PRE-RACE WARM UP

• Always make every effort to get heat into the brakes prior to each event. Use an on-and-off the pedal practice to warm the brakes

during the trip to the staging zone, during parade laps before the flag drops, and every other opportunity in an effort to build heat in
the pads and rotors. This will help to ensure best consistency, performance, and durability from your brakes.

DYNO BEDDED COMPETITION PADS AND ROTORS

• Getting track time for a proper pad and rotor bedding session can be difficult. Wilwood offers factory dyno-bedded pads and rotors

on many of our popular competition pads and Spec

37

GT series rotors. Dyno-bedded parts are ready to race on their first warm

up cycle. This can save valuable time and effort when on-track time is either too valuable or not available at all, Dyno-bedding
assures that your pads and rotors have been properly run-in and are ready to go. Contact your dealer or the factory for more
information on Wilwood Dyno-Bedding services.

NOTE:
NEVER allow the contact surfaces of the pads or rotors to be contaminated with brake fluid. Always use a catch bottle with a hose to
prevent fluid spill during all brake bleeding procedures.
