Yeah when I work on the brakes, I always give it a good workout before I put the tires back on and do a test drive.

After we bled the brakes the other day after changing to the stainless lines, I jammed on that pedal hard about 20 times to check for leaks and other stuff...you just cannot afford a failure on the road due to shadetree mechanic negligence.

+1. Brakes are very important.
