This is a contender for thread of the year! Thanks for posting.
Two questions: is it possible at all to bleed the brakes in the traditional way on these cars? I know you said much of the brake fluid had drained and there was a lot of air in the system when you put it back together.
And secondly, is "bedding" in brakes really a thing?
Or is it a myth? I have never intentionally bedded in new brakes.
I have been changing brakes for 40 years and I have never ever had a problem with noise, vibration, longevity, or braking performance. I always sand my rotors and pads with coarse emery paper to remove any glaze.
