Replaced the o/s/r disc and pads. Cleaned up the shoes and the rest with brake and clutch cleaner.
I'll be taking her for a drive soon to bed both new discs and pads in. But slight problem. The handbrake goes to 3 clicks, but with the handbrake on I try to set off in first and it moves forward. Do I need to bed in the brake shoes as well?
I read on here about driving round with the handbrake partially on to help new shoes bed in. They are the old shoes at the moment. If I do this, how far and at what speed should I do this?
Any advice appreciated
