I used to make my sister hold the spark plug wires to see if they were bad. Unfortunately she got married and I lost the best electrical tester in the shop.

That how you're supposed to break those pads in Glink? The box that my ceramic pads came in said accelerated to ~45 mph and use light-moderate brake pressure and come to a stop. At least 10 times and give it a quarter mile or so to cool off. I guess they're working fine if you can lock them up though. I dont think I can get mine to lock up... my brake booster isnt putting out nearly as much assist as it should though, maybe that has something to do with it, since none of the calipers are sticking.
