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

    Yeah, you don’t need to bleed the brakes here.

    Changing the fluid is different from changing the pads.

    And if you’re changing the fluid you can just put a one way valve over the nipples and pump it out whilst the misses pours the new stuff in.
