Step 9
Step 9: Reinstall the Wheels and Lug Nuts.
^
Tighten lug nuts to 133 N.m (14 kg-m, 98 ft-lb) with a Torque Wrench.
^
Do Not tighten the wheel lug nuts with an air impact wrench.
^
If you apply uneven or high torque to the lugs it may "distort" (warp) the brake rotor and hub. This could cause increased rotor runout and excessive
rotor thickness variation as the rotor wears.
Step 10
Step 10: Burnish the Brake Pads
A.
Drive the vehicle on a straight smooth road at about 30 mph (50 kph).
B.
Use medium brake pedal/foot effort to bring the vehicle to a complete stop from about 30 mph (50 kph). Adjust your pedal/foot pressure so that
the vehicle stopping time is 3-5 seconds.
C.
Cool the brake system by driving at about 30 mph (50 kph) for approximately one minute without stopping.
D.
Repeat A, B and C (above) ten times to complete the burnishing process.
