GTV Brakes

["Coddington, Ronald C" <RCoddington@domain.elided>]

Quick comment on GTV brakes - soft or long pedal travel on first
application.  

Check front wheel bearing adjustment.  If not to spec, i.e., too loose, then
wheel/rotor motion as you drive on the "loose" bearings will knock back the
pads.  It does not require much motion for this to happen.  Then on brake
application, the first push will be long to get the pads back to the rotors.
Immediate second push, if very firm, with a higher pedal would seem to
confirm this problem and also rule out air in the system.
