      Tomh,

      Thanks. I found a page of bedding instructions on tirerack and it gave different instructions for different brands, so that made it clear that you have to follow the right procedure.

      Another question: do you have to match the brand & line of pads and rotors? Or can you mix them and then follow the bedding instructions based on the pads?

          They didn’t explain the problem beyond saying they’re frozen. I don’t even think they pulled the wheels off. Why would a dealer shop put in extra effort to see if they can save me money?

              Thanks. I hadn’t heard of bedding before, but thanks to you and google, now I know.

              I plan to keep the car for as long as I can, until either it dies or the cost of maintenance gets too high compared to a new car payment. So far so good, only brakes, tires, and the scheduled maintenance. I’ve been told I’ll have to change the oil pan eventually. I haven’t checked for videos on that but a friend did his on an old Tercel and he made it sounds easy.
