ToplessZ Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 When Changing brake pads is it always required to bleed the brakes when you are finished. Getting ready to do a brake job and I can't find my bleeder wrench... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBC_400 Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 IF you are just changing pads there is no bleeding needed, just pull the pins, slide out the old pads, push the pistons back to clear the new pads and just reverse the removal process.s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VRJoe Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 On cars with anti-lock brakes it is recommended that you open the bleed plug when pushing the piston back so you don't damage the valves in the anti-lock setup. On a car without anti-lock brakes it is not necessary to open the bleed valve, just push the piston back slowly. - Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPMS Posted November 15, 2003 Share Posted November 15, 2003 Although it's not necessary to bleed the brakes after a brake job, please remember to suction some of the brake fluid out of the resevoir before you push the pads back into the caliper. I forgot to do this once and blew brake fluid all over the engine compartment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
