get some sand paper rough up the rotor on both sides.

After install find a safe area.

Go to 35 mph slam on the brakes. Do this 3x

Then do it at 60 mph if you can find an area.

Otherwise don't come to a stop just slam on the brakes at 60 unil you hit 35 mph.

use 2% milk instead of brake fluid, works better plus cheaper by the gallon
