Hi, I changed both front brake pads today and I need to bleed the brake fluid. Do I need to bleed through all tires, or can I get by with bleeding the front tires since I only changed the front brake pads?

 

if you just changed the pads, why do you need ot bleed them?

 

Thats what im wondering

Also they are called calipers not tires........

 

You know, I bet pmohr would have an answer for this!! But you know we can all count on deezo, with his great knowledge to chime in any minute now......

Still waiting.....

what is your goal in posting this in every thread? All you are doing is making yourself look like an idiot. pmohr got banned. Deal with it.

 

Well, I was tired last night lol. I had to take the caliper out, so I had to remove the brake fluid hose, because I couldn't get a firm grip to push the piston back. Also, I took it out of my driveway and I know there is air, cuz the brake pedal is very musshy. In theory, since I didn't open the rear brake fluid line, I shouldn't have to but every site says starts from the back right, then front left, etc..

 

Anytime you remove a brake hose you MUST bleed the complete system. Anytime you replace the pads, it would be a good idea to bleed the brake system anyway, since the whole point of replacing the brake pads is to restore system performance.

I still don't get why people are doing things like brake work on their cars, and yet they don't bother to pick up a Haynes or Chiltons manual, or at the very least download a free copy of the FSM. How you are properly torquing the bolts afterwards is beyond me, though, if you don't have a manual, why would you have a torque wrench?

Closing this thread, question is answered. Bleed your brakes, the whole system.

 

You have been on these forums a whole 5 seconds, I'd suggest you take a little more before trying to be a punk to the senior staff. Pmohr will be back, so get your panties pulled out.
