Just replaced front & rear brake pads......
Just replaced front & rear brake pads......
But when i sat down and pressed the brakes it went down more than half way. I bled it to see if i had air in the system, but only alittle bit of bubble came out. Then I went for a test drive and the brakes went down more then half way again. So I re-bled it front and back and went for another test. But still went down more then half way. Now I'm clueless?? Somebody Anybody HELP ME~~
I feel that i might crash into something cause i'm not used to it going down so far!!

You only replaced the pads? On my Bimmer, after I replaced the rear pads, before I started driving, I sat in the car and pump the brake. If you only replaced the pads, I don't know why you bled the brakes. In any case, try thr brake pumping idea and also check your brake fluid level.

Oh man....you did NOT need to bleed the brakes if you only changed the pads. Bummer. Did you make sure to push the piston all the way into the caliper before you reinstalled the caliper over the pads & torque member? Try reinstalling the caliper with the piston all the way in. After you torque the bolts down, get in the car, start it and push down on the brake pedal a few times. Leave the cap to the brake fluid unscrewed (not off the reservoir, just sitting loosely). Hopefully this will help. I've never bled brakes before so I can't help you there.
