How long do new discs and pads take to bed in?
“Bedding-in new pads and rotors should be done carefully and slowly… Most brake pad compounds will take up to 300-400 miles to fully develop an even transfer film on the rotors.” Failure to follow these procedures may result in brake judder, excessive noise, or other difficulties in bedding-in the new brake pads.
Do you put new pads on old discs?
When you put new pads on an old disc against this angled face you compromise the efficency and it dosent get any better with wear. For the cost that most manufacturers will sell a complete braking set, rather than seperate discs and pads, you might as well change the lot.
Why are the brakes binding after new pads and discs?
I just changed my pads and disks all round, the brakes (pretty sure its the rears) are now binding so that I have to give the car a bit of gas to make it move at all… Obviously I don’t want to drive it in this condition so I managed to get it into the garage where it will stay for now!
What happens if you don’t change your brake pads?
The results of not changing them can be catastrophic brake failure. Catastrophic brake failure can lead to death. Change the brake fluid whilst it’s all being done too, as not changing that can also lead to brake failure. Also if you let your pads wear too far, it’ll screw the discs – as we found when my wifes car had its second service at 20k.
Why does my Car Make Noise after new pads and rotors?
By ignoring your vehicle’s moaning and groaning could cost you a lot of money to repair down the road and even more dangerous. One of the major cause of brakes noise after new pads and rotors is having excess brake dust that is trapped between the caliper and the rotor.

How do you change the brake pads on a CLK 350?
Remove the rear wheels from your Mercedes-Benz CLK 350 W209. Remove the brake pad wear sensor from the right brake pad. Use a hammer to remove the pin that holds the brake pads in place. As you extract the retaining pin be careful to not hit the brake heat shield. If you hit the shield you may bend it and cause it to make noise when you drive.
How do you replace a rear brake pad?
W209 Rear Brake Pad Wear sensors. Brake pad anti-squeal grease. Rotors (if you plan on replacing them). Set the emergency brakes. Jack up the car using your jack. Place jack stands under the car to secure it. Open the hood and remove the cap from the brake fluid reservoir.
