To do this you have to ride the brakes pretty hard and I recall that it took a lot of pressure by the end of that run, presumably because of severe fade. But, sure enough, let them cool and 15 minutes later they hold very nicely. The instructions were on the package. In fairness to my original Matco pads, I did nothing for seating during the testing and initial flight stage. Ed de Chazal
