So it’s come the time to break the pads on my car which is a Kia Rio. I’ve looked up a few things and the job seems doable by myself which saves a lot of money.
The only thing that I can’t seem to find a concrete answer is if they actually need to be bled once the new pads are installed?
Thank you
You don’t normally have to bleed the brakes after changing pads.
You WILL have to pump the brakes a few times before you start to get pedal feeling back, because you’ll have pushed the pistons back in the calipers and they need to reset, so don’t drive off until it feels good.
