Well... it's coming on Spring and I've had a few calls about pads squealing and the pedal on a rebuild not as firm as it should be.
Instead of selling some new pads on a wing and a prayer, my usual first line of defense is to offer up our bedding procedure. If you haven't bedded in your pads, you can and should do so at any time.
The same goes for a low pedal after a rebuild. Many times people will complain about a low pedal after getting new calipers. The new seals are pulling the pistons back in further than a old seal that is broken in. It's best to break in the pads and the caliper seals at the same time. After that, the pedal will come up further with regular driving. There's a page describing this in the 911 factory manuals but not the 914 manuals... not sure why it's not in the 914 manuals.
Here's a link to the bedding process:

and here's an email that made me think it would be a good idea to post this here:
