brakes pulling to one side

[911hillclimber]

Most guidelines are in the packing box of the pads issued by the manufacturer.
If none and you are unsure, I would ask the supplier for the right method to use.

Bedding in is to match each pad face with the disc surface, so new pad, old disc will need more bedding than new/new surfaces.
My take on it anyway.

I think it's actually a chemical process to hear the pads and let them cool. I think it's quite rare to get instructions these days. I think the ones I remember that had the series of more severe stops in a row were minted 1144s.

This is from Mintex re M series pads. Doesn't say what's happening though.

1. Clean discs with brake cleaner or other solvent.

2. 3/4 light applications 30mph down to 0mph.

M1144; 3. 6/7 steady applications 70mph down to 30mph.

M1155; 3. 8/9 steady applications 90mph down to 30mph.

M1166; 3. 9/10 steady applications 90mph down to 30mph.

4. Leave to cool as long as possible (They now work from cold).

great thanks for the advice chaps, main thing is they're performing well and noise is starting to go away. Will give some of the suggested braking in procedures a go, check the bearings and let you know.
