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

    If you’re only changing pads, there’s no need to bleed the system. Only time that needs to be done is when fixing a fluid leak or replacing a hydraulic component such as a caliper, hose, or master cylinder.
