This will significantly reduce the chances of excessive squeal and abnormal wear/operation.

I've used the Hawk method and a couple of others in the past to burnish steels. What's your favorite method for steels to transfer some pad material to the rotor ? |
I'll typically start with a moderate pressure 120 - 40 to burn off any pad contamination and pad deposits, do 3 - 5 mins of cooling at 30 - 40, followed by 3 threshold 150 - 20 with 1 min between, followed by 10 mins of cooling at 30 - 40.
Obviously this needs to be conducted in a controlled location.
