Brake Pads Sticking???My 7 hour Brake Job

[KRZTACO]

Just wanted to share my exciting Sunday with everyone which included a complete brake job on my Boxster S (New rotors, new Pads, and bleeding). This took me about 7 hours to complete in my garage on Sunday. There was a lot of pondering going on with the first rotor/brake/bleed then everything going smoothly after that.

FYI...it's a sinch to swap out the pads, and rotors then bleeding by yourself.....(I used the motive power bleeder), just adding all three steps took some time.

I put in the Porterfield RS-4 brake pads and I am currently breaking them in.

Should the pin that holds the pads in need to be smacked with a hammer to drive it in? The rear pads dropped into place no problem.....with the front pads needing a little encouragement which I gladly resorted to whacking the pin with a hammer to get the darn thing in...on both front calipers.

Any thoughts? I did a 5 mph quick stop and the front brakes stuck for a little bit....I just pumped the peddle a few times to free them up (keep in mind the pads had about 10 miles on them) is that normal and will go away after the break in period?
