Hi my name is hayri I have checked the process of replacing front and rear brakes pads. After the installation is it necessary to bleed the hydraulic system? If you could please answer this I would greatly appreciate it.
thank you

Hi there,

If you have compressed the piston back into the caliper with out opening the bleeders, there is no need to re bleed. If you have opened the hydraulic system you will have to bleed the brakes. To bleed have an assistant press the brakes open the bleeder at the caliper and allow air / fluid to escape. Close bleeder and release pedal. Do this until there us no visible air bubbles, bleed each brake and don't let the fluid fall below 1/4 full in the reservoir. There is no adjustment on disc brakes. Here is a video and guide below to help you bleed the brake system correctly.
