Burnishing Linings & Rotors (Disc Brakes)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 1998 Pontiac Trans Sport, 1998 Oldsmobile Silhouette, 1998 Oldsmobile Bravada, 1998 GMC Yukon, and 1998 GMC Suburban. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

After the brake linings are replaced and/or the rotors refinished, the new braking surface should be broken in, or "burnished". To do this, make 20 stops from 30 mph using medium to firm brake pedal pressure. During this procedure, use care to avoid overheating the brakes.
