Brake Burnishing

CAUTION:

Burnish contact surfaces between brake drum and brake lining according to the following procedure after refinishing or replacing brake drum, or if a soft pedal occurs at very low mileage.
Be careful of vehicle speed because the brake does not operate firmly/securely until brake drum and brake lining are securely seated.
Only perform this procedure under safe road and traffic conditions. Use extreme caution.

Drive the vehicle on straight, flat road.
Depress the brake pedal until the vehicle stops.
Release the brake pedal for a few minutes to allow the brake components to cool.
Repeat steps 1 to 3 until brake drum and brake lining are securely seated.
