Do they need to be bedded. Good questions. They might have been pre-bedded. What does the vendor/manufacturer say?

Don’t know, Disk pads I didn’t think they could be bedded?

Talked to Meritor the other day and they said 5 to 10 easy stops and then a hard stop then let sit for 75 seconds then your good. Did that and on the hard stop I could smell new brakes and then 25 miles on FWY and it seems fine now.

That’s pretty much the same way we bed new pads and rotors on the race cars.
Slowly get some heat in them. Then get them really hot, stay of them, then park for five minutes with FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL.
Sometimes we can get the pads and rotors pre-bedded for the race car.
The packaging didn’t have bedding instructions?
