Brake Burnishing Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Infiniti G35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Burnish the brake pad (or lining) and disc rotor mutually contacting surfaces of disc rotor according to following procedure after refinishing or replacing drums or rotors, after replacing pads or linings, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.

CAUTION:
  • Be careful of vehicle speed because brake does not operate easily until pad and disc rotor are securely fitted.
  • Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.
