I have never used any brake sprays or that pad grease. Am I missing something??
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Timco, there is a proper break in procedure for new pads on a old rotor. It consist of driving in a open parking lot at various speeds and slowing down to about 5mph BUT not coming to a complete stop. Heating up the pads and rotors to prevent thermal shock but ultimately leaving a thin layer of brake pad material on the rotors. Bedding in the pads I think its called. Perhaps someone else can point you in the right direction. If not, I think I have the pdf at home.
Also are you using the anti squeal pad inserts that stick to the back of the pads? Just asking because not everyone uses this.
